Sitting in the Sun

Today I did something that I haven’t done in a long time. I sat in the sun on my narrow window seat and had a cup of tea. I looked out the window admiring sunlight on water droplets — droplets that just yesterday were patches of ice and snow.
On the window sill sat rolled up blinds, taken down for the winter. In the quiet, I could study the beauty of shapes and forms to be found in even the most mundane of objects.
It felt good … though I did have to take a moment to remind/convince myself that taking such moments is good for the body, the soul, the creative spirit and the career. 😉

What Makes an Image Spiritual?
Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, tagged nature, Photography, religion, spirituality on December 15, 2009| 1 Comment »
I’ve been invited by a local shop to submit a portfolio of images for review. The caveat is that the images must be of an obvious spiritual subject matter and/or have titles that evoke a spiritual ethos. What makes an image spiritual? There are undoubtedly objective as well as subjective measures. Here are two photos that I think many people, without need of a title, would consider spiritual in nature:
But what about these images?
In the end, I’ll do my best to pull together a representative grouping. I’ll let you know what happens. Meanwhile, if you have thoughts on the subject, please let me know.
My Color of the Day: Green

I feel like Kermit the Frog today. I found myself dressing nearly completely in green. I’ve been thinking of photoshoots and all of the items happen to be green. I’m obsessed with cultivating a little winter garden in a sunny nook of the house I live in, and it just so happens that most of the plants are rambling green vines. Here are a few of my favorite green photos of the day, taken in and around Boston. Enjoy.
