Monday, the end of the photographer's weekend! :)

Don't take your light for granted. Let it shine in the darkness and let it flow into the rivers of creation...

I felt that I wanted to devote some time to the weekend pictures we took out in the park in Richardson.  I have been truly inspired by the DRESS I found at Boston Costume and thankfull I know the best porcelain doll model here in the metroplex. :)  Destiny Lenora.  

I have really been exploring thoughts, places and characters.  I have a long long way to go - but I find that just simply CREATING before the story inspires me.  I tend to write the story AFTER I create.  I like seeing just how organically things can come together within that experience with my model and then that ENVIRONMENT we worked in.

By "environment" I literally mean everything around it.
-the textures of the rocks
-the tatteredness of the dress
-the long creepy hair
-the reflection in the water.
-the fake "smoke" i made with a touch of flour.
-the quietness and stillness of this space.
-the feeling of spirit and "ghostliness" when we pre-discussed characters.
-embracing the colors but being open to completely THROW THEM OUT for the next chapter in the story.

How has your personal homework been going?
Did you learn something new to try in your images?

Let's share!

From this experience I was reminded - please use BUG SPRAY around still waters!!!!!

Thank you
Love you
KEEP CREATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weekend inspiration.....

I have had some ideas sitting in my mind...and finally tonite I was able to get together with Destiny to try out the new dress from Boston...AND....actually try to throw flour.  I've seen a gazillion people do it...and a gazillion great images from it.  I wanted to make my own experience and just try it. 

I found throwing it was harder than it looked...depending on how much or how the wind took it...but it did make this NICE CLOUD effect that was quite awesome.  These are only testers and teasers...but I wanted to share!!! :)

our first time to be in this place with this dress and this scene. :)

First time to throw some flour and work on the fly with learning to use it!

I will have additional pieces that come out later-  but for now I just wanted to play with my brain a bit, maybe play with YOUR brain a bit....and move forward with creativity.

Sometimes you are sitting and watching the river flow.
Sometimes you are swimming in it.

Don't ever be too hard on yourself!  You are a creative unique being - and you have a lot to give!  But also remember those times to receive. <3 :)

You are loved.
