New thing to do—photograph your entire day!!!!

Well this was a really FUN  new thing to do!!!  One of my readers suggested that I try to take pictures….all day…of a regular day (as if I EVER have those) and try to make it artsy and fun…..since I do not have a fancy camera, I took all the pix with my i-phone  (since it SUX as a phone, I might as well use the camera part)

I tried to be creative when I could, but somehow, I found myself attracted to flowers and went with it. Everything you see here was literally along my way today.  I had so much fun hiking in the morning, working out, grocery shopping and then visiting neighbors, ending the eve with a fabulous dinner party at a beautiful house, and I was so excited to take pix while I was there. The best thing about this NEW THING is that I got the chance to open my eyes to such beautiful moments as well as becoming more sensitive to the beautiful art, food , nature and people that might have otherwise not been seen with such focus and attention.

Thank you Parker, for this wonderful suggestion :)  I now suggest this to anyone who reads this blog. For just ONE DAY, take pix (even with your cell phone) and document your day. It really did make today a more memorable experience :) and it was really fun trying to pretend I was a hip/cool photographer…… click play to see my work of art…..It was amazing….mixed with grace….

    If this isn’t the best installment you’ve ever done, it’s close.

    What I like is how we can see your eye–what you were seeing when you made your choice to
    shoot–in every photo. No random images here. And they do really build into a whole that
    is more than the sum of its parts.

    It’s a completely non-verbal expression, therefore, of who you are.

    I also note, by the way, that almost everyone who sings “Amazing Grace” fails to
    recognize what it is really about.

    But, as I heard it, I remembered. So even that was good.

    On a personal note, I really enjoyed seeing the Amarone.
