creative juices...

a few good tomatoes...

{Photo Styling} It's one of those things that has slowly been creeping up on me. Standing behind me. Looking over my shoulder. Waiting quietly. Breathing....heavily. So I tried a few things out.

thursday in pictures.

Let's say I lost my ability to speak - I would probably use these photos to describe my day today. This photo (above left) of stripes from A Cup Of Joe made me instantly happy and covetous of those socks! Any photo by Roland Bello (above right) shows me what photography can be - oh! the richness of his colors and the simplicity of his styling.

This photo (above) from ffffound - MADE the day. Deep deep belly laughs. And so as not to convince you that I spend all my time just looking around the internet at photos - my own work today was delightful in it's own way. These brave c0-workers - even in comp photos I'm not even going to use in the real design - showed me a thing or two about why I love being a photographer. Behind the athletic gear (they would never be caught dead wearing, otherwise!), there is always personality, feeling, and a soul to capture. Thanks guys!

But if you had to sum up what I feel today - thursday, the day before Friday the 13th {eeek!} - it would have to be this picture - that stares back at me from my desktop - Corey Arnold's beautiful work. Gives me goosebumps and makes me smile. Simultaneously.

"There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more, the other is to desire less."
G.K. Chesterton

"For He has satisfied the thirsty soul,
And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good."
psalm 107:9 {NASB}
