Weekly Photo Challenge: Home
Home is a place to feel cared for and protected. It’s a place to be nourished, more than just a physical refuge, it’s a private place to find peace and purpose. I imagine all of this represented by the clownfish and its home the anemone. In this reciprocal relationship, each animal has a protected home […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Love
Trying to make the most of our weekend between working in Salt Lake City, UT and Grand Junction, Colorado we came peeling into Moab near dark on a Friday afternoon. Dead Horse Point State Park was on our way into town so we stopped to catch a glimpse before the sun set. As we pulled […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Illumination
Illumination has many interpretations, from the simple brightening with light, to a deeper spiritual or intellectual enlightenment. In India, both of these concepts seemed to constantly be at play. Major temples and structures glow in the night, an ever-present reminder of their importance. Colorful, twinkly lights adorn restaurants and shops, inviting people to enter. There […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Resolved
Starting off a new year, most of us at least think about resolutions. Typically, we want to diet, get a new job, save money, manage stress. Facebook and social media are chock full of these sentiments and promises. While it’s a great impulse to try and better oneself, some of these common resolutions seem a […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Our Year in Pictures, 2012
Here we are on the last day of 2012. The cliche is true: time flies. We began the year with the last few stops of a 10-month journey. On New Year’s Day 2012 we visited the Erawan Shrine in downtown Bangkok, Thailand. The shrine isn’t old, but is a very important site and a testament to spirituality […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Surprise
During our visit to Daintree National Park (in far north Queensland, Australia), we stayed at a great little B&B called Epiphyte. Having learned from our host that the best time to walk the nearby Jindalba Boardwalk was at night, we set off at around 9:30 pm. The boardwalk meanders through the rainforest along its path built into […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Delicate
Vietnamese banh trang or rice paper wrappers are so delicate you can see through them. These images were captured near Ho Chi Minh City last year. These translucent discs made from water, rice and sometimes a bit of tapioca flour. They are dried in the sun over large woven bamboo racks. They are used to make delicacies such as spring and summer rolls.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Changing Seasons
For this week’s photo challenge I’ve decided to use an image that speaks to the “Changing Seasons of Life”. This photo includes myself, my father and grandfather. We three share the same name so there is a Sr, Jr and III represented here. Enjoy!
Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections
These Reflections were captured at the Cloud Gate, AKA “The Bean,” in Chicago. This sculpture by Anish Kapoor is located downtown in Millennium Park. The one above reminds us of an angel. Enjoy!
Weekly Photo Challenge: Thankful
This image was captured from a rooftop in Kratie, Cambodia. It says “Thankful” to me because of the representation of Earth, water, air and the fiery sky. It makes me feel thankful for our amazing, beautiful planet that we are lucky enough to call home. Please enjoy this photo and each and every blessed day.
