You looked so Canada I love it! So glad you could show your pride.
(07.09.10 @ 09:07 AM)I'm glad to hear this, because on my left ankle I currently have a flaming skull stamping an overdue library book . I am not joking. It all happened really fast after my coworker and I found a book of temporary, library-themed tattoos in her desk.

often in the morning i have to stop myself and spend time paying attention to my soul first instead of filling the morning space with cleaning.
cleaning is easy and gets tactile results.
nourishing your spirit can seem murky and hard to pin down.
which it is.
but it always feels good.
much more PRODUCTIVE than dishes in the long run. eh?
anyway,
usually there's a pretty broad color spectrum going on with my dishes,
it seems like everything i own is colorful.
today though,
everything was white.
i was amazed and got out my camera to take photos.
then i cut up my strawberries and bananas for breakfast...
ate,
did those dishes,
and then there was yellow added in.
what?
unintentional.
i love when the stars align.
well, they always align.

it's funny because those photos feel like winter to me, but it's almost summer.

these were taken right at dusk, 745pm in southern california.
35mm f/1.4 lens
aperture, 1.8
shutter speed, 125
iso, 400
in editing them i left the white balance as it was, just made them brighter with curves. that's it! the color is the way it is because the light is so cool (blue) at dusk. i'm a warm white-balance person........ i'm usually adding yellow and red to my images. but i like these this way. cold but somehow warm.
so there you go,
cosmic galaxy flowers from a little walk i took on mothers day.
those yellow buds seem like they're peeking out of the snow.
i want some.
hope your day is lovely,

Gosh are these lovely. Thank you for sharing your beautiful world!
(05.12.10 @ 02:55 PM)Lovely. You should maybe consider making these into prints. And selling them. For dining room walls.

..... this made being in banff a bit tough.
PHOTO OF A MOUNTAIN.
it just strikes me as too much. TMI.
that's just me though.
i tend to see and notice the small, specific, very very minute parts of life.
and as i photograph things i'm always aware of questions like:
why am i taking this photo,
what are my eyes seeing right now,
what is my heart caring about right now,
why do i care,
..... do i care??
each person experiences the world uniquely, and its hard for me when photos have no voice. if it looks like stock photography why did you take it? so you could be a good stock photographer? so... you took a pretty picture of a mountain. why? yeah, i'm intense about this.

I super like the top two side by side. The ultra pure of nature next to the ultra glam. nice
(05.06.10 @ 03:29 PM)Absolutely gorgeous...especially the baby ketchup bottle one!!
Can't wait for you to take my picture!
what should I wear??
i love the archway one, esp. the sprig of yellow in the bottom right corner... brings a bit of reality to a nature shot.

Shannon seriously...did my wedding make you resort to this? :) I'm so happy to read that you're on a vitamin kick. But lets be real...do YOU really need more energy? I don't think so. xoxo
(07.19.10 @ 09:32 PM)never have i seen vitamins look so delicious!! Shannon, you truly are a photographer of everyday life, making the everyday things of life magically transform into beautiful art right before our eyes. Thanks for showing us beauty in the mundane!
