The Magic of Light {Maine Lifestyle Photographer}

Posted on January 18, 2010

I am continually awed by how light can either make or break a photograph. Yes, I have gone out with my camera on a cloudy day and the images captured were beautiful. They even glowed with a particular light found only on cloudy days.

What I love, however, is the sunlight that exists towards the end of the day or the first couple of hours after sunrise. “The golden hours.” The magic of light.

The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.  ~Vladimir Nabokov

In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary.  ~Aaron Rose

Soar {Maine Lifestyle Photographer}

Posted on January 1, 2010

I found a wonderful blog last week – Shutter Sisters.

It is a beautiful blog, so full of inspiration and ideas. It has already helped me to focus on the important things in my life. I’m starting to feel more grounded. More connected to the journey of my life, and to the journeys of those around me.

I have been introduced to an idea that really intrigues me. And excites me.

One little word. Choose one word to be your guiding light, your mantra, your focus for the year. Read all about it here, at Ali Edwards blog.

My word for 2010 is Soar. I have been thinking about words all week. Trying them on. Seeing how they fit. Exchanging one for another. I felt like I was clothes shopping! Finally, soar is the word that fit me best.

For me it signifies freedom. Release. Beyond. Heights. Unlimited. Extraordinary.

My one little word is a doorway into infinite possibilities. Even though it is a “lofty” word, I feel grounded in its implications.

Please join me in 2010. What word inspires you? Where would you like to focus your energies this year? I’d love to know. Lets share our stories.

“People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change.  They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in.  Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters; they will not allow life’s circumstances to push them down and hold them under”  – Author Unknown
