Learning

I love imagery. I always have. Years ago I did some sort of a career assessment survey and was told that my profile most closely matched that of a male photographer. Hmmmm. I have longed to become more skilled at seeing and capturing light. That's what somebody famous said....that we are not taking pictures of things, we are taking pictures of light. This week I am taking a digital photography workshop at Maine Media. You can follow my progress as I post photos each day. At the very least I hope to be able to learn a few things about my new (birthday present in July) camera. I've been trying to just read all the way through the manual! I think I'll be in good hands here.

All of these photos are from a Flickr friend At-Swim-Two-Birds. I love the way this artist sees her world. She is endlessly creative, and uses everything around her to make art. Take a look at her sets. Her blog, which you can find here, is also fun.

This Berlin-based design company makes "crocheted lady's accessories". Shawls, collars, ankle socks. Ankle socks! I have not seen those as a fashion item for a long time. They wouldn't fit my life style. Not by a long shot. But I do wish I could crochet. I would like to buy an entire wardrobe from another Berlin-based fashion house, Mayer Peace Collection, here. I found both of them via the HandEye Magazine blog, here.
