Life in Focus – Perseverance

Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained. ~ Marie Curie

I’ve always loved creative, artistic things. Dabbled in pin and ink drawings, I knit, I learned to weave but rarely do. I can spin a skein of yarn. I can bake a loaf of bread or bake a pie to compete with the best of them. I write. I blog. But this love of photography? That, THAT seems to be my true passion. It sings to me and haunts me and its siren call begs me to pick up my camera and go out and capture the world.

I work so hard, and constantly, at learning more about photography. Trying things. Experimenting. Trying some more. I read about it. Google about it. Join photography forums. I am wrapped in photography and I am very happy.

I regret it took me so long to really take up photography again after learning it right after college. I love sharing my photos with you, my friends. So share with me some of your gifts or talents. When did you discover them? Have you always known you had them?

Some Times I Feel

Wicked.

Yep, sometimes I feel very wicked. Do you ever feel that way? Where you’d like to break all the rules, surprise people with your responses, be different, say something snarky at an inopportune moment? Shake things up. Do the unexpected.

Well, be wicked?

I’m such a don’t rock the boat rule follower…but sometime, just sometimes…I feel very wicked…

Do you ever feel that way??

Isn’t he handsome?? :love:

I’m taking an online photography class through one of the photography forums I frequent. It’s all about composition. This week was taking the same photo with different lenses from wide angle to telephoto.

The Photography One was over in Columbia for work and I threatened, bribed, asked him to come over and let me take his photo for the assignment. Well, yes, I did leave some beer in the fridge for him since he was spending the weekend at the apartment. But I’m sure you couldn’t call that a bribe, right? But seriously, what male won’t work for beer wages?? :beer:

Yes, I fake greened up the grass a bit because it was dead, dead, dead. Love this photo of him!
