Into the Light

I lost myself for awhile. It’s been four years since I last posted. Four years since I felt like myself. But here I am, still standing. Standing stronger and lighter and more filled with love and hope than ever. I didn’t know how much I was in the dark until I climbed back into theContinue reading “Into the Light”

Capturing the Light

A pretty chandelier caught my eye while out shopping with my family. It was perfect for the master bedroom – glittery glass pendants and shiny, embossed brass. The circular patterns caught my eye first; the shadows cast across my ceiling, second. A simple addition (a sale item, too!) quickly became an unexpected inspiration to capture withContinue reading “Capturing the Light”

Weekly Photography Challenge: Grid

There is lattice above the fence in our backyard. Here, a pattern of light emerges because of the diagonal lines of the grid. In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Grid.”

Better than None

More tulips. If they can’t grow outside, I’ll buy them and keep them inside. Besides, they give me something to photograph and they look pretty on the table. These white ones caught the light from the window and became almost transparent, showing off the details of their petals.

The Light Shines Through

I have a basket in my bathroom, with shampoo bottles in it. At a certain angle, the light shines through the bottles and out these tiny holes where the tin meets the wicker. I had to photograph these cute little coloured dots.

Water on My Window

While washing dishes, I noticed the way the sunlight glistened off the melting frost on the window. The dishes could wait. I grabbed my camera and while the dishwater cooled, I captured the light. Playing around with the focus and the aperture settings, I was able to create an abstract composition of a few drops of water. Even the tiniestContinue reading “Water on My Window”

Quiet Reflection

It appears as though the curtains continue down the length of the photo, but it is merely a reflection. Sitting at my kitchen table, I noticed the way these lace panels were mirrored in the wood. A trick of the light, I suppose, but one that deserved to be photographed.

Strange Light

When I was taking down the Christmas lights, I noticed something strange: The plastic coating had peeled off at the bottom of the bulbs. At first, I was alarmed. What if it had caused a fire? But as I took out the bulbs, I quickly realized I had to photograph them. This is truly accidentalContinue reading “Strange Light”
