Project 365: (My life - 2011)

Sonia, I just have to tell you that I'm deeply impressed by your photos, you're getting better and better! Wow!!

Oh, Kirsten, thank you very much! You can't imagine how much I appreciate what you said! It's true that looking at others pictures and styles is giving me a lot of ideas. I learn to have a different look on things. I always used to be very technical (after all, my love for photography started with me learning in books how a camera is made, how the image is formed, how to use aperture, speed, etc.) but I sometimes lack artistic sense for creativity. I'm a scientist, it may explain I guess... So, this projects helps me thinking differently, daring to try non conventional pictures!
What I like very much in your work is that you are able to make beautiful the simplest and non beautiful things, such as the tube in the 21st April pic. And with just enough editing to make it more beautiful while keeping it real.

I know what you mean, it's too often that we forget to find the "essence" of a picture 'cause we're only thinking about the technical stuff. Happens to me also, but 365 kind of brings you "back to the roots". There are many pictures on PP which are not technically perfect, but they are great because they capture a special moment, or an amazing atmosphere..

As for my own pictures: I always tried to find beauty in ordinary things, even in those people consider to be ugly... But my pictures never seem to be "alive", this is what I usually don't like about them.

Dear PT/365ers...

Please meet Theodore, aka Teddy.


His person is Arline Grant, @nonni. She lost the last of three elderly cats about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Teddy's Gotcha Day is April 14, so he has just joined her family. She has shared a lot of photos of him and I think he's absolutely beautiful.

He had his first visit to the veterinarian yesterday. Here he is on the doctor's desk.


I would like to invite her to nominate Teddy for Cat of the Day; do you think that would be okay?

Thank you,
Elyse

Then there's Toffee, who is the bunny of @lilvicky. Same line of thinking here. Be sure and look over her project because she has 3 or 4 bunnies
