  • Two weeks ago, inspired by Tara Whitney, I took my film camera out on a walk. Ellerie in the stroller, music in my earbuds, camera in my hand. We took our normal walk up the hill to the market and back down. It takes about 40 minutes round trip and kills like six birds with…

  • I am currently up in Sacramento with my parents and was so excited to see the change in seasons has started in Northern California. It's so different than what "outside" looks like in our beach town 400 miles south. It's pretty pretty this November. And this was one of my favorite photo walks. all photos…

  • When we lived in Maryland, I commuted from our apartment in Bethesda to Georgetown to work at Paper Source. In the early days, this meant I drove to the nearest metro stop (Grosvenor-Strathmore), then rode for seven stops on the red line to Farragut North where I hopped on the Circulator (a bus that ran…

  • This was an incredibly fun photo walk – probably my favorite so far. I love the play of light and shadow and I love that "magic hour" right before sunset. As always, please feel free to do your own photo walk. Use "light" as a prompt or anything else you can dream up. Keep the…

  • Of alllll the things in Las Vegas this weekend, I decided to shoot text. I took all my photos in a super tiny space – basically an intersection. But hey! It was sort of a fun challenge to a) shoot in the 106* heat and b) limit to such a small area and time frame.…

  • I should have mentioned last time, you are invited to play along. Use my prompt or make up your own. Share on your blog or keep them in your camera. Take one photo or hundreds (actually, try for somewhere in between). This is a fun experiment that encourages you to look at items differently and…

  • I am going to be bringing a few new features to the blog this summer – two that are photo based. Weekly, I'll be sharing the "around here" shots, which are photos that I take mostly in my workspace throughout the week. Then every so often, I'll be sharing posts titled "photo walk : ______."…
