Harvest of the Fields

Since moving back to Idaho after being away for 10 years I've been "noticing" so much more about the area. The harvest this fall of summer's crops has been so stunningly beautiful to me, and I'm noticing such an incredible beauty in the simple things of life. I wanted to share a few shots of that beauty with you. Enjoy!

My "Macro" Family.....

After returning from RMSP, and experiencing "The Art of Macro", our classmates decided that we all bonded so well during our class that we should stay in touch. One of our class members set up a "Family" site where we can all post news, photos, and stay in touch. We have a monthly assignment to complete, with the subject matter changing each month. The "assignment" for August was macro shots of anything "green - outside"...some of the green shots I've included were from last month's assignment. Still waiting to hear what we're going to shoot this next month, but enjoying the variety of photos that all of the class members are posting. Hope you enjoy!

"Macro Florals"

I was recently contacted by RMSP (Rocky Mountain School of Photography) to submit a comment/statement and some of my photos taken in "The Art of Macro" class which I attended back in July this year - all as consideration for possible use in their "Student Focus" portion of their annual course catalog. I was extremely honored that they would even consider using my story and photos....so I'm sharing a few of the selected photos that I submitted to them. Whether or not they use my input and images, it was a great boost of confidence that I'd even be considered.
