under siege

Avoiding people. Hum, probably not the easiest or smartest thing to do when you actually need people to photograph them. Unfortunately, as of late, we’ve been on lock down; a bit of hiding whilst awaiting the sneak attack of germs (steve’s story here in case you’re wondering what the heck I’m talking about and if I’ve lost my mind… which i have).  I’ve been a little frozen on picture taking, overcome with stupor and lassitude. I hear a tiny voice of me attempting to break free and pick up my camera once again.

This little silent nagging popped out of hiding today. And, as all proper optimists and supportive lil wives say, “there’s always a silver lining in every cloud”.  Due to current, totally messed up circumstances,  I’ve actually started to notice little things around the house that fell into the dark abyss that fermented during our “normal” lives. Little things that I passed by without even a first glance.  Today I picked up the camera and went on a little hunt. I found this on my balcony.

Briony - so purty!

Jan Oscarsson - Super!

Jen, you must do more of this kind of shooting!

Great composition and the colors are soo pleasing for the eye, I just love it. It’s not only beautiful, it’s also very peaceful and soothing…
You really nailed the color scale with the white, yellow and the gorgeous pale green and the hint of pale red of the background.
You have such a great eye for details. Just keep shooting like this and get the camera hours you need when not able to shoot people.

This is really awesome.

Mr. Hodgkins - All of this goes on 3 feet behind me? Amazing. You are amazing. Pick up that camera and shoot shoot shoot. We define the disease, the disease does not define us…xoxo

Mary Frances Chrisma - this is a beautiful image. a fun little project might be taking a picture everyday around your house in the duration of everything. it will help you take your mind off of stuff for a little while and you can create an amazing series. =) you guys are in my thoughts! <3

brett - Keep looking small. Something I’ve found recently too. You’ll find tons of little worlds to get lost in while you’re at it and it takes your mind off the day that’s worrying you for a bit. It’s a tough time, I’m sure, but don’t let the tough stuff stop you. Try and use it as motivation to get your mind off that stuff or express how you feel. Totally rooting for you Jen. Keep up the good work!

Erin Kline - This picture says JOY all over it :)

barbara - Good…I’m glad to see you took a moment, even if it’s a small one.. to just breathe, regroup and re-center yourself. Thinking of you both, and sending hugs your way.

Araxi - I opened this up and it completely made my day! Thank you Jen! For the reminder. You are an amazing person and photographer and Im so glad you picked up the camera.

Jade Jade Bo Bade - I hope you keep noticing funny little things to help prevent you from getting too blue, like birds hopping rather than flying, people tripping over cracks in sidewalks and a single person riding a tandem bike.

John and I think of you guys all the time.

Cathy Crawley - Glad to see you back behind the lens where you belong, these daisies are a little ray of happiness. Thanks for sharing {{{{{{{{{Big hugs to you }}}}}}
