Photographer Mommy

In the world of Mommy Blogging I have two blogs, this one and my more personal blog (Through the Lens of motherhood). My other blog is on the way to being one of the top 25 for photographer Moms. I would love for you to check it out, deem it worthy and then vote! :) Thanks! L

That field...

Every June for the past 6 years I have passed this field on the way North for holiday. Back before kids, before marriage, just after returning from my years in Europe. I pass it a number of times each year, and either I am too busy, or I don't have my camera. Whatever the reason, this is the first year that I actually had the time and the camera at the same place together. It was worth the wait. The colours, the shadows, I love this field! The temptation to put the camera down and run through this field... well let's just say it was hard to resist but in the end I decided that it would be better to leave that field untouched for the next photographer that happens along.

Love in action

I have been thinking about 'love in action' these days. What does that look like if you were to create an image of it? On my facebook page I have been asking people to share their own photos of 'love in action'. In an attempt to kick start the onslaught of creativity I shared one of my own. I am putting the challenge out there to my Blogger friends too. I want to see your idea of what this 'love in action' thing looks like to you!

Feel free to visit my Facebook page (Horizons Photography) and post your own image there to share. The best image will be published here!

2 dollars

I led a photo walk downtown today, we hit St. Lawrence Market and wandered about taking photos of food, people and the architecture. It was a great time, I was looking for that 'shot', the one that makes you leave an outing like this feeling satisfied! I got it when I threw a toonie in a trumpet case.

Digital

I can remember when the only way to enjoy the art of photography was in the dark room, and if I had the cash to keep that form alive in my own home I would, don't mistake me here, but I love the digital age and the advances it's made for the art of photography.

This shot, taken from the iphone is an example of how you can make art out of something as simple as a window! How great is that? I can document my life with photo's, edit them and post them to the internet, email them, or message a friend all within moments of the event happening. This particular shot was taken as I played air hockey with my oldest son.. and it was posted to facebook while still playing the game...

 the window shot at the beginning of the post was taken near the end of the beginning of the game, and this next one was taken at the end of the game. All shots were taken just one short hour ago, but were on facebook withing minutes. Gone is the need to carry my large camera around (though I can't really go anywhere without it... just in case) but now, art can be made out of the simple moments, the sweetest moments in life.

The four year old won the game by the way...

I have to thank God for all the brilliant minds out there who have dedicated their lives to creating technology that allows me to stretch my moments into lifetime memories!

Welcome!

I have been Blogging for several years now... but I am finally getting started on my photo Blog... this is just about photos. Hope you enjoy!
