speaking of art . . .


My husband's aunt is an artist. A real, live, brush and canvas wielding artist. She has an eye for artistic detail in the ordinary. Her use of a camera is to capture these details and turn them into the extraordinary. Spending time with her while in New England did not teach me how to paint - but reminded me that photography is an individual thing. The camera is more of a utensil to her, something to carve out the detail and maintain it for later use as inspiration for her design. For me, the camera is my paintbrush and canvas.



I am inspired to take a day and focus on details. This requires getting down, getting close, getting personal. This requires not having teens around to voice their fear of embarrassment when I struggle to get back up.

  1. I love the details too! That brush shot simply rocks. I love how you used DOF to make it interesting. And the second shot is amazing. Loving the color and textures.

  2. I think of your photographs as true art! You always introduce a new view and perspective in your shots, and I always feel both this little jolt of surprise and pleasure when I see your posts--(like in the brushes in the first shot). To me, those are some essential "art" ingredients!
