picture fall

This seems to be the season when my artistic side is getting a full workout!

My sister (who is an amazing photographer) signed me up for an online photography course called Picture Fall by Tracey Clarke for my birthday. While I hesitated at first (how was I going to find time to take a photo every day through the month of October?), I am really enjoying it and finding myself challenged in a way I haven't been since the days of my writing group.

My photos cannot compare to some of the stunning images that they share space with online, but it is fascinating just to look through those and find new ideas and inspiration. I am posting my assignment submissions to Flickr and if you're interested, you can see them by clicking on the Flickr photostream in the right sidebar. The daily assignment theme is the title under each photo.

And if you feel so inclined, sign up yourself! If not for this course, then the next one around the holidays...you might suddenly see the world around you in a whole new light.
