MIP - January 2012

I decided to join another fun group called A Month in Photos. I figured since I am already doing a 365 project this would be an easy fit. I chose to use Rebecca's template, but I have a feeling I'll be tweaking it every now again. I'm really excited to see it through to the end and be able to look back and see how I've grown over the year, not to mention how the kids will grow. ;)

You Capture {Colorful}

This past Sunday I took a photography course with a local photographer. I'm not going to mention who that person was, as I was left unimpressed. I didn't learn anything I already didn't know, nor were we actually taught anything. We paid to be told "set your camera to xx + xx setting, okay now let's go shoot." Ummm, it left a bitter taste in my mouth for certain. WHY am I putting my camera in that setting? What situation is that mode best suited? Seriously, it was a waste of my money. But it did reassure me that I DO know how to operate my camera, so I guess there's that, right? I just wish they would have told us WHY you shoot with certain settings. Cause and effect, you know what I mean?

Luckily the location for the class was downtown and what better place to capture some color than the Crossroads Art district? Enjoy.

I LOVED this building. Each and every window sill is painted a gorgeous jewel tone.

This little patch of cobblestone peaked out and caught my attention. Just a bright little pop of color in an asphalt world.

I happened to notice that one of the artists was working on a mural down the alley. I quietly snuck down there & asked permission to shoot him in action and he obliged me. There are a couple more shots on my Flickr gallery.

Inspired by Nature

Today I was in search of my daily photo inspiration. While we were out and about I knew I needed to get out of the house and capture the world through my eyes. It didn't hurt that I was also looking for some shots for this week's You Capture Challenge. Here are my treasures from today's walk through nature. There are more from today, but you'll have to wait for my You Capture post. ;)
