Ay, Corona….
Howdy friends!
Well, we are all now in quarantine with this insane Corona
Virus running rampant. I have not blogged or maintained my website or social
media pages in ages; having my daughter has taken a toll on personal time!
Well, okay, it’s not just her, but that in addition to 2 boys in school, there’s
not much time for my stuff. Now with this covid-19 menacing about, I’m finding
a little extra time because school is closed, but I can’t have photo shoots
with anyone. Ugh. We can book for something in the future though, so keep that
in mind.
Anyhow, I do hope everyone out there is healthy &
keeping your sanity with some really new hobbies, (that don’t include digging
graves in your backyard garden for your spouse, -though I totally understand).
As of January, I signed up for my third consecutive 365
photo project. If anyone is interested, it’s through Meg Bitton & is led by
the wonderful Sarah Lewis Morris. Every day, Sarah posts a prompt in our
private group and we set out to capture this word in a photograph. Anyway, the
first year I did this, my skills expanded phenomenally within the first 5
months. Last year I was pregnant and flat out miserable and didn’t keep up with
anything. I failed with a big fat F.
This year I am keeping up the project at a reasonable pace
and creating things, which I’m now extra grateful for since I’m stuck at home.
I never went out socializing before, but now I don’t go to the store, school,
the post office, or any of the local parks. It has made finding my inspiration
a real challenge!
A few days ago, we were given the word “mist”. It has not
been misty here. There is nowhere I am going to find it either. 5 a.m. is not
my jam and I am not loading up my kids in search of mist at such an ungodly
hour. Mist brings creepy things to my mind (like Stephen King thoughts). I
thought, “Hey! I bet I could paint my arm green and make a monster out of it.”
Better yet, I knew I could make my son paint his arm. And I did. He lied in the
sand so I could get a picture of his arm “erupting from the earth” to attack
mankind. I almost stuck a cowering kid in there, but I was out of time and
patience; maybe next time. I cut his arm out of the image and plopped it in one
I took of my dogs on a foggy morning in Mexico
If there’s something you would like to see me create, let me
hear it. I’m even toying with the idea of making images from your pictures. If
you’d like to have your kid being chased by a dinosaur, or petting a fantasy
creature, let me know; we might can make it happen.
