Day Seven...
This is becoming a bit difficult, blogging every day. Definitely a change of pace for myself and a commitment that always seems to linger until the last possible moment of the day.
Tonight I am going to share some cherry blossom photos I took this spring. I'm not kidding when I say these blossoms are real. I even think they look fake. And, they are pretty much straight out of the camera. I only adjusted the levels a tiny bit to make the images pop.
Anyway, it just so happened to be the perfect night. Thanks to Michelle, whom made a great assistant!

Day Six...
I almost missed this evening. I know I am pretty lame by not posting photos in the past couple days but this girl has been busy doing the following things:
1. Porterhouse Productions concert in Sam & Abby's backyard = AWESOME!
2. Nate & Karley: We need to behave next time we are out cruising on our bikes! (That
would be Nate and Beth, Karley was just along for the entertainment, I think!)
3. Lost wallet. Anyone seen it?
4. Powerwashed my parents' pontoon boat and mowed their lawn = 2.5 hour nap.
5. Laundry washed.
6. Back home trying to make deadline on my challenge.
Photos tomorrow. I promise. I have a boatload of them!

Day Four...
Tonight I am going to share a few photos of local billboards/advertising that so happen to contain my photograph. Slowly I am trying to pull off when I see them and take a quick snapshot for my scrapbook. Just kidding (about the scrapbook) but maybe you could call this post on my website just that.
Finally, I'm too exhausted to look up all the photos I want to share tonight so I may cheat and add to this post later. Sigh, I know I'm a rebel!

Day Three...
I went kayaking a couple weeks ago for a Grand Traverse Woman assignment. Mary and Susan of Paddle Away, LLC were kind enough to take me and Leann (the writer) on a sunset tour. We launched on a calm evening off of Bower's Harbor public launch. We had spent all day wondering if the weather would hold up. It did.
I wish every night I had the opportunity such as this. Awesome kayaks, great guides, amazing scenery and calm water so I didn't have to worry about my camera gear. I actually threw it in the boat, sans waterproof stuff sacks. What can I say, I like easy access to my gear and living on the edge!
While paddling, Mary paused to prop her feet up on her kayak and gaze upward at the sky. The clouds, she exclaimed, were incredible on this particular evening. I agreed. Which is why I'm not even going to post a photo of water or kayak details. I need the clouds tonight to inspire me.
It's been a long day and these clouds bring me back to an evening when I remembered why I became a photographer. No, I didn't become a photographer because of clouds. But I became a photographer because I wanted to capture those moments that overtake us and do it well enough so that one is overtaken again through my photograph/s. It's as simple as that.
