Calling All Crafters

Today was just one of those days…& nights. You are just having so much fun with friends chatting and laughing that you don’t want it to end! This morning started with the cutest piece of inspiration and challenge for my crafty friends out there. I was walking through an Antique store and this beauty caught my eye. DSC_0108

I attempted to get as many shots as I could to aid in the craftiness of any who decide to possibly master this one. Honestly it doesn’t look to complicated… maybe a bit time consuming in gathering the materials n such.

This afternoon & evening also included delicious cupcakes :) , wandering, and chats with girlfriends.  Here is a personal favorite of our wanderings through stores…. Panda Hat! Yes Macy & I could not resist putting this on Sweet Micah who puts up with all of our escapades.

Ok well I there is my rambling about today back to the wonderful world of Lightroom for the next couple days! So Much to Do, So Little Time.

What to Capture

The other day I was flipping through a book that is now at the top of my “Next to Read” list,  Starting your Career as a Freelance Photographer by Tad Crawford. He described what it means to him about creating images. I was so overwhelmed by this explanation it wraps up everything that I feel when I have captured “The Picture”!  Honestly I feel in love with his description that I had to stop everything and copy it down. Tad Crawford’s quote sums up exactly what I aim for in my photographs, I try to capture the ones that are uniquely that person.

“I make images. I show people things. I capture their emotion and expressions, their      memories their past, the things they love.”

John & Tonia Balboa

John & Tonia Balboa

This photo was taken a while back at Swing Soulstice of Tonia and John, two of my favorite dancers (and leads ;) ), they both share an obsessive love for Balboa. I feel that this picture perfectly  expresses their adoration for the dance. When I showed Tonia the picture the first thing she noticed was that she was biting her lip in the picture, something so small I would never have caught. Yet  she does this when she is enjoying she is doing in the moment. Again something so small but absolutely makes this picture.
