52 Fridays {Miramichi NB Photographer} {Personal Project}

Welcome back for another shot from my weekly personal project. I’m part of a large group of very talented photographers from around the globe. Each week we have a theme, and everyone posts a shot interpreting the theme in their own unique way. Our theme this week?

 

{WARMTH}

It’s not always easy to find “warmth” in the middle of winter, especially where I live…. but as I was looking out my window one morning, I saw the sun just peeking out through the trees, and I couldn’t resist. No matter how dreary it may be, the sun always makes the day a little bit better:)

Now join me and let’s head south to see what warmth Robin Moore, Cary, NC Photographer,  found this week…. I’m sure it’s going to be gorgeous!!

Oh very nice. Great composition and nice warm PP. It’s nice to see the sun on those cold winter days. :)

Jenny - January 27, 2012 - 1:30 PM

I think you must live in a postcard! The view out your window is amazing!
Lovely warm and soft colors!!

Denean Melcher - January 27, 2012 - 2:26 PM

This is such a beautiful image! And I couldn’t agree more, a little sunshine always makes things better!

Macro Mondays {Miramichi NB Photographer} {Personal Project}

It’s Monday again! Our theme for our macro project this week?

 

{OLD}

This is my hubby’s favourite bear from when he was little…. and it’s still kickin’ around. It’s become one of my daughter’s favourites. I love how the stitching is worn and frayed in places, and his eyes are even scuffed up a bit…. yet it’s held up to the test of time. It’s extremely soft and very well loved.

Please join me in heading south to see what my very talented friend Liza was inspired to photograph this week.

You can tell how much this bear was loved by the texture of his fur! That is so sweet that your daughter loves this bear now too! Fantastic detail, Faye!

liza - January 27, 2012 - 3:30 PM

adore the scratches in the eye, awesome work here in the detail!

52 Fridays {Miramichi NB Photographer}{Personal Project}

It’s Friday again (already? where is the time going?), which means it’s time for the group of photographers participating in this year-long project with me to post our individual interpretations of a specific theme. Our theme this week?

 

{WORDS}

So often nowadays, with all the fantastic technology, and the speed of emails and texts, the written word gets forgotten. I have a really good friend who has done so much for me lately, and I wanted to say thank you. An email just didn’t seem enough…. so here you have my handwritten thank you card to her.

Join me now in checking out the lovely Viviana Serrano, Westchester NY Photographer to see what words she captured this week!

Ahh- handwritten thank you notes are so important. Doesn’t seem like many people do them anymore, but so much nicer than an email. Love that you still do that!

Christa P. - January 20, 2012 - 8:30 AM

I love this Faye! Written notes are so meaningful, but so rarely done anymore.

viv - January 20, 2012 - 10:30 AM

Handwritten notes are so rare now a days but have some an impact when received.

Jenny - January 20, 2012 - 10:40 AM

Love it – taking the time to write and send a card is such a special gift.

Amy Moisuk - January 20, 2012 - 11:36 AM

There really is something special about receiving a hand-written note. It DEFINITELY conveys a much more personal and caring message. Great shot for this week!

Emily - January 20, 2012 - 12:01 PM

This is a great photo. My mother always made me write thank-you notes and I’m so glad she instilled that in me. There is something so special about giving and receiving hand written notes.

Jenn - January 20, 2012 - 12:45 PM

So true. A handwritten note is such a special thing!

Ashley Alexander Photography - January 20, 2012 - 1:10 PM

How sweet. Love the processing on this.

Tammy Bilodeau - January 20, 2012 - 7:49 PM

Ahh that’s so nice. People don’t do that enough nowadays. :)

liza - January 20, 2012 - 8:46 PM

love a good thank you note!

Stacy - January 21, 2012 - 12:39 AM

love love love it!!

Amy - January 21, 2012 - 3:36 AM

Reminds me of the comments in “You’ve Got Mail.” I know your sweet friend will appreciate your handwritten note – I love this!

Genevieve Flynn Photography - January 21, 2012 - 1:31 PM

I’m trying to do more handwriting myself, even though I’m out of practice and I hate it (my handwriting, not writing itself). Great take on the theme!

Cathy K - January 22, 2012 - 10:50 AM

I totally agree about the written letter. I love that you converted this to b&w. It totally conveys the simplicity of the story.

christine - January 26, 2012 - 10:47 PM

love it.

Tracy Kelly - January 27, 2012 - 3:28 PM

You are so right !! Handwritten notes are getting to be a rare commodity !! Good for you !! And, even better for the recipient of your lovely note :)

Macro Mondays {Miramichi NB Photographer}{Personal Project}

Well Monday is here again, and that means it’s time for yet another themed macro photo. Our theme this week…..

 

{METAL}

Any guesses what it is?

Now please check out my talented friend Liza Hall to see how she interpreted this week’s theme.

No idea!!! Such interesting lines… almost like an optical illusion!

liza - January 16, 2012 - 9:52 PM

this has me guessing, but not coming up with anything!

52 Fridays {Miramichi NB Photographer} {Personal Project}

What an awesome project this is turning out to be! I have to say, I love the challenge so far of coming up with a unique perspective on our theme for the week, and turning it into a photograph. This week’s theme?

{LANDSCAPE}

This is on the path not far from my home….where I like to go for my runs. I love how it looks now that we have a little fresh snow on it (not so great for running, but beautiful just the same).

Now I hope you’ll go check out the next person in this project to see their take on this theme, the lovely Amy Moisuk, CT Children’s Photographer. I’ll be back next Friday with another photo from this project. See you then!

Faye this is beautiful. I love the perspective of the tree with that touch of snow and the path that continues along a beautiful landscape. great job and love the b&w processing.

Tracy Waye Kelly - January 13, 2012 - 9:12 AM

Beautiful ! Love the bokeh ! However, I’m also partial to trees of ALL kinds — my husband used to work in the woods and I used to work at the woodlot office.

This is lovely Faye. I really like the bokah and the perspective.

Ashley Alexander Photography - January 13, 2012 - 9:59 AM

This is beautiful! I love it. Really creates the feeling of the scene.

Jenny - January 13, 2012 - 10:41 AM

The one you posted on FB was so pretty, I have been WAITING to see this one – totally worth it. I LOVE the texture and curls of the bark. Perfect processing with the bw – really fantastic!
