Right Brain Redux: 30-Day Creativity Challenge Day 11

Right Brain Redux: 30-Day Creativity Challenge // Day 11 of of 30

Jess's task: Photography: Capture Opposites

First: God, you are the Ultimate Artist! I am absolutely in awe of your creativity. Thank You for giving me the desire to also be a creator.

When I (Jess) got this challenge, I had to think awhile on what I'd do. Driving around today, up, down, around, and even on top of the mountains, I saw the contrast of light and dark, sunlight and shadows. So I thought about how light and dark are opposites and took that approach.

I had to laugh at myself because it occurred to me that I'm really obsessed with light... always chasing it around. I'm usually thinking about it as we drive and as I observe everything. I know I'll never quite capture photographic perfection, but wow... the chase is fun.

Kevin is working on his project for today, but he will have to post it tomorrow. He's had a rough day at the dentist.

Virginia Farm Winter

Why would newlyweds want to go to a remote farm in Southern Virginia, during winter no less, for their honeymoon?  Why not? 

Enclosed in this post are some of my favorite shots of that time...

 

 

I don't dare claim to be the best photographer. 

As far as education goes, I took one class in art school. 

I have no claims...

However, I know what I love. 

I love the feel of a camera in my hands. 

I crave the delicious feeling of looking at something through the viewfinder and framing it in my mind. 

Just like life, photography has its disappointments... 

the blurred images, the film ruined, the digital file lost,

the missed moments, and the shots that just didn't turn out like you thought they would. 

But I keep on breathing. 

I keep snapping shots. 

It's essential... an endless pursuit even. 

Whatever you love, pursue it with vigor.

Once you've captured that light once, you never want to stop.
