This assignment asks us to review our "Inspiration File" and find a common theme or pattern, whether that is your subject or a certain technique you love. Aside from the typical "perfect portrait" I strive for, I seem to enjoy taking pictures of the "bits and pieces" that tell a story.
That might be the sweet little tap shoes at dance class...
Love the natural light in the dance studio. Love focusing on one thing and leaving the rest of the scene to fall into a blur.
The completely candid shot that gives you the sweetest expression of ultimate concentration and "I'm so happy learning this"...
Maybe a soothing, steamy cup of calm before the day begins... quiet time to spend with myself, before I have to put me aside to take care of everyone else. Caffeine energizes the physical me while God energizes the spiritual me through His Word.
Morning light is another favorite. :)
While these images say something to me, and that is certainly enough, I still want to find and shoot the small images like this that have universal significance.
Each of your pictures is special and tells a story. I love the way your daughter holds her hands as she is intently following the directions.
ReplyDeleteI love the steam coming up from the coffee cup -- and oh yes, that is my first stop in the morning too, before everyone else is up. At least a few minutes alone with the Word. : )
ReplyDeletePrecious daughter. Coffee first thing, on weekends. I love those mornings when I'm alone - easy, due to 'empty nest syndrome' - especially in the garden to see the beauty of the Word and think about the one who said it.
ReplyDeleteThere is a beautiful simplicity to all of these images. It feels like you are able to isolate a moment in time, whether it's the morning light and steam on the coffee, or your daughter's wonderful expression. It is wonderful to see what you are finding in your inspiration file!
ReplyDeleteAhh...morning light-it's like that first cup of coffee on a crisp morning. Love it! Your image of the dance shoes tells a story...so fun.
ReplyDeletei love the shiny shoes and that darling little face such a tale to tell.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful stories behind each image! I enjoy the "bits and pieces" as well - it's what makes things interesting. xx
ReplyDeleteBits and pieces! Morning light. So lovely! Thanks for sharing.
