Photography Challenge for All

Often when our minds are reeling with an overload of emotions, the last thing we feel like doing is, well, anything at all. Who hasn’t been there in the last few, heck, bajillion weeks of ‘social isolation’ (sounds like an oxymoron if you ask me)? Yet these are the times when tapping into our creativity can help us more than we can imagine. Art may not fix things, but it sure can help us cope (or at the very least, provide a diversion). As such, I’ve put together a photo challenge for everyone – regardless of age, camera, or skill level. Hope you have fun with this!

Some questions to ask yourself about your family photographs

There never seems to be a good time, or enough time, but if ever there is a time, it might be now. With most of the world under quarantine, and our minds reeling with the heaviness of everything that is going on, why not set aside some time to “escape” by going through family photos with your loved ones? Revel in your memories. As you do so, I encourage you to think about a few things… and possibly make some changes going forward.

Why I won’t sell just digital files, after I swore I wouldn’t be “that” photographer

Eventually, I came to the realization that hiring me was like hiring a gourmet chef to take the finest, locally-grown, organic ingredients to prepare the most mouthwatering culinary delights for a lavish dinner party. Only instead of the chef finishing the job and plating the food, they just left it in the pots and pans and bowls for YOU to plate.

An afternoon at Château le Gari · My quest to document our town

I have an overwhelming urge to preserve the charm and uniqueness of our little town for my children. I haven’t been able to shake the idea since it popped into my head and as things continue to change I keep kicking myself, wishing I had photographs of how things were. So this coming year, regardless of how busy I am and how many other things I have to do, I’m finally setting out to capture ‘the Faces and Places of Marlborough, CT’ as a personal project.
