I am having mixed emotions as I sit down to type this post. The Photography Styling Challenge is on its last leg and I am amazed how far we’ve come. First and foremost, I’ve grown fond of this eclectic collection of participating bloggers; some of whom are amazing professional photographers, whereas some (like me) are…
Orchards, Peaches And Honey Cream
Peach season is here. We missed strawberry picking season and I was not letting that happen to peaches. We spent a lovely day near Fredericksburg, Texas picking ripe peaches off trees. I’ve never seen a peach tree before, so you can imagine my excitement. Did you know that when ripe, peaches turn yellow and not…
Photography Styling Challenge #11 – Living Room
Ha! Just when the themes were getting sort of abstract, M throws a curve-ball! It’s back to the basics, by inspiring us to polish our ‘styling’ skills for this one. The challenge has that very word in it, lest we forget. If the title didn’t clue you in already, this month’s challenge is ‘Living Room‘….
Photography Styling Challenge #10 – Light
After managing to scrape through somehow the last couple of months, I am so ready for this month’s Photography Styling Challenge. But I will also be keeping it simple. This month’s theme is Light – that which dispels darkness and sustains us. For this month’s entry, I will leave you with this thought – “Only through…
Photography Styling Challenge #9 – Fashion
I was not sure whether I would be able to post this month’s challenge entry on time. We are on vacation – in India! Yay!! Fashion, or rather, capturing fashion, is not one of my strong points. I prefer photographing still life – things that do not have moving limbs and definitely, not a mind…
A Few Of My Favorite Things #4 – Twilight
Let me start by asking how this winter is treating you. If you are lucky enough to live in the tropics, you may not know what I am talking about. Even sunny Texas has not been spared this winter. Though our experiences were nothing compared to other states, I am sure. I am not a…
Photography Styling Challenge #8 – Patterns
Around here, the first Monday of the month can only mean one thing – time for another Photo Styling Challenge post! The themes are getting quite challenging with each passing month. This month’s concept is rather interesting – Patterns. They are all around us. We just need to look for them with a critical eye….
One Year Blogversary – A Few Thoughts
It’s here! The first anniversary of this blog. I am beyond myself with excitement, as you can imagine!! I was an avid blog reader for a while. I turned to blogs for recipes, crafts and prettiness, in general. I stalked quite a number of blogs regularly. The sheer number of blogs out there surprised me…
Photography Styling Challenge #7 – Chaos
Welcome to the latest edition of the Photography Styling Challenge, the first one in the New Year. Are your resolutions already forgotten? Just kidding!! This month’s concept is Chaos. To make it interesting, there is also a constraint to use 3 items from last month’s Order shoot. Let me start with a chaotic shot of…
Photography Styling Challenge #6 – Order (Organization)
Welcome to yet another edition of the monthly Photography Styling Challenge. I cannot believe we are halfway through the challenge already. It seems like yesterday that I chanced upon this challenge on M’s blog and decided to play along. I cannot tell you how much fun it has been and how much I have learned…
Photography Styling Challenge #5 – Bedroom
By now you guys know what the Photography Styling Challenge is, right?! If not, please go here, take a look and come back. I shall wait. So, ever since last month’s challenge post was published and done with, I’ve had an uneasy feeling about the next theme – Bedroom. The most important room in the…
Photography Styling Challenge #4 – Morning
Ah, the first Monday of October. Time for yet another Photography Styling Challenge post. Usually I crib about the days flying by, and a little Boy growing up too fast for my liking. But when the last week of a month rolls by, I find myself looking forward to our monthly challenge posts! This month’s…
