D-140 Inspiration . . .

Where does your inspiration come from?
I've always been told to study images that you really like. To pay attention to the details. I look at the lighting, the composition, the color. I find what it is that attracts me to the image and I study what "it" is.
However, on Scott Bourne Photofocus Blog there is an article byTamara Lackey, she says "In my experience, though, I actually find that doing the opposite actually helps me to better crystallize what, exactly, I am drawn to, simply by better honing in on what is not of interest to me."

Interesting concept, I'll have to try and study the images I don't like. How about you where does your inspiration come from?

My image today is in response to The Daily shoot "#ds191 Focus the viewer's attention. Make a photo of a single subject with as plain a background as you can."

D-119 "Try something new" challenge

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”
Albert Einstein



I've been out of town since last Thursday, even though I did take pictures every day I was not able to upload and share because I did not have my computer. I think I need a lap top.
Instead of playing catch up I will just pick up where I left off.
Day 119.
Tasra Mar posted a challenge last Thursday and that was to "try something new" I read on a forum, "Cherie" stated that crystals would make a great bokehed background - so I tried it. I like the results.


I got to spend some nice time with my Nephew Jose - I missed you so much! It was nice spending time with you. I'm very proud of what you've accomplished.

I also got to spend some time with my brother. Hey bro nice seeing you again.

And Alinda - thank you so much for your hospitality. You are a kind hostess. That 7 pound lobster really "rocked" LOL
You are doing an awesome job with your photography - keep it up.
