She sent me that snapshot of her new terrarium the other day. That’s just one recent example of her work. If you’d like to see some of her other stuff, check out her Instagram feed.
I think y’all will agree she’s pretty good already, but she wants to get better. And she wants to learn how to better use the features of the fancy DSLR her husband, Chris, surprised her with.
She asked me for some ideas for practice she could use while still quarantined in her home. It reminded me of a weekly photo challenge I did with some other bloggers years back. Basically, there was a weekly theme. Everyone (there was a relatively small group of bloggers who participated) had seven days to capture images to illustrate how they interpreted the theme. It was fun.
Who couldn’t use a bit of fun and inspiration during the COVID-19 lockdown?
That being said, I am going to start hosting a weekly photo challenge. Once Shannon and I agree on a good name, I’ll come up with some rules and post the first challenge. I’m hoping some of you will want to participate, too. You can either post your entries on your blog, or Instagram, or Google Photos… wherever you want. All you’ll need to do is share a link to your pics each week when you are ready.
The rules will be simple. Trust me.
Think about it. More info to come soon.
Dang, you’re speedy! And my 40th was ONE year ago, just one! Lol.
This will be fun. I hope others get excited about participating as well.
Shannon, that’s true. Closer to one year ago than two. But not by much!
Speedy for a reason. It’s a good idea. And people need time to work on their capture(s) for the week. I hope others join, too.
Just don’t pick a subject like “Snow”. You may get 5he inside of our freezer…
Yay, another participant!
LOL, Richard. I promise, I’ll choose themes or exercises that make sense. Please tell Bridget about PMP, she might like participating.
Shan really does have a good eye! I love the terrarium photo!
Another challenge…being weekly, I just might be able to participate. 😁
Lynne, this is right up your alley. I think you have a great eye, too. I always enjoy your pictures.
I hope you guys are still doing well in Texas.
Thanks, Lynn! 😀
Hello, I am sorry for posting untied the wrong area, but the comment section under your trip to Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery in Belgium are closed. Jack Rothstein was my fathers uncle, and while doing some research I came across the picture and mention of him in your blog.
Just wanted to let you know the pleasure it gave me and my family to see him remembered. None of us have been out to his grave, and your descriptions of the experience brought me there with you.
Thank you,
Jocelyn Adelman, NJ
