Weekly Challenge: Edge…

Posted on September 9, 2016 by | Comments Off on Weekly Challenge: Edge…

The prompt is: This week, share your own interpretation of “edge.” Take a photo from an actual edge, like a balcony, a window, or a seaside bluff.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My choice for ‘Edge’ are pictures I took on Martha’s Vineyard at the Gay Head Lighthouse in the town of Aquinnah.  Let me first say that I am afraid of heights but going inside this beautiful lighthouse was something I had always wanted to do so when the opportunity arose I mustered the courage and climbed to the top.

Weekly Challenge: Mirror…

Posted on September 3, 2016 by | Comments Off on Weekly Challenge: Mirror…

THE PROMPT:This week, show us a mirror. You can take this photo challenge literally, and find reflections in mirrors, or in the stillness of a natural body of water. Live in an urban area? Some skyscrapers are beautifully reflective of the cityscape around them. Or, use this challenge to take a photo of yourself in the mirror. Self-documentation is important, especially for those of us who are usually behind the lens.

Weekly Challenge: Fun…

Posted on August 13, 2016 by | Comments Off on Weekly Challenge: Fun…

The challenge this week is to share something fun.

Seeing the musical comedy ‘Something Rotten’ in NYC last January was definitely one of the most fun plays ever..  It WAS the funniest musical written in the past five centuries and it was fun, fun, fun.

Weekly Challenge: Details…

Posted on July 16, 2016 by | Comments Off on Weekly Challenge: Details…

For this week’s challenge, try to look past the big picture and take a more intimate approach. Zoom in on details in unexpected places — it can be something from the natural world, or it can be human-made.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My daughter Deb is a knitter and one of the things she enjoys knitting are shawls.  The patterns are so intricate and detailed, I am always in awe of how beautiful they are, and how talented she is:)

Face …

Posted on May 14, 2016 by | Comments Off on Face …

The prompt this week is to show the picture of a face, or in this case, faces.  I purchased this stone sculpture from a Native American artist on Martha’s Vineyard a few years ago.

I asked him how he knows what to sculpt and he told me that he has to get to know the stone first… let it speak to him and tell him what it is meant to be…  only then does he begin the process of letting the spirit emerge from the stone.

This particular stone has two faces.

The spirit of an eagle.

Something I find interesting about these sculptures is that when you’re holding them they’re both cool and warm. Perhaps it’s the spirit from within.

Weekly Challenge: Abstract …

Posted on April 22, 2016 by | Comments Off on Weekly Challenge: Abstract …

Weekly prompt:  Point your camera at something familiar and turn it into something else. Whether it’s a wall in your house, a friend’s arm, or a billboard seen from afar, we may or may not recognize what it actually is. But we’ll certainly discover something else about it in the process.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My choice for abstract are views through my rainy windshield. The first one is of trees along the side of a street.  The second one is the view of a harbor.
