Instagram a Day: Day 6

A very wet, rainy December day. It is magic what water can do to objects. How it can transform them from something mundane to something much more interesting. Water droplets in particular can make the world look so different, if you look through them. 😉 I really love this photo. I think it is one

These two photos have light and shadows in common, and also that pink bathroom in the apartment we were living in. Taken on the same wall at different times, these photos focus on the way that light and shadow can create composition. 297 is pretty obvious, it’s all about those blinds and the pattern the

All of these photos were taken on a lovely Autumn day. My daughter was taking a nap (my husband stayed behind) and my son and I decided to go for a walk and explore the little park behind our apartment. To get to the park we must walk beside the City Point Cemetery which has a

These three shots were taken when we moved into our super cheap, tiny, old apartment. It was nice to be on our own again and have our family back together. However we moved from a large three bedroom house to a small two bedroom apartment. Our bedroom didn’t even have a closet! When the movers

Back in the stone ages when I was in some drawing class at VCU we had a live model and the teacher put a colorful slide projected onto the person.

I think this was a Saturday or Sunday morning. My daughter was in her room watching some kids playing outside. I took some photos of her looking out the window and the lighting was so nice I decided to take my photo too. I like how the light makes different lines and shapes. It would be a good

A couple of days before I took this shot I was snuggled up on the couch with my husband. We were having some tv time at lunch before he had to go back to work. At the back side of our living room is a large sliding glass door that lets in lots of light. I had my foot

This was a sunny Saturday. My son and I had been at the Killeen Civic Art Guild, working on some art. In front of the building is a courtyard that has a fountain. We decided to stop and take some photos. So here I am sitting in the sun, on the ledge of the fountain,

It was night. My husband had fallen asleep on the couch. It was very foggy outside and not too cold. I took my tripod and camera out into the mist. It was a magical sort of evening. No one was out. The lights looked  amazing diffused in the fog. I couldn’t stop taking pictures, trying
