Into the Light

September 24, 2022September 25, 2022 ~ In a Snap ~ Leave a comment

I lost myself for awhile.

It’s been four years since I last posted. Four years since I felt like myself.

But here I am, still standing. Standing stronger and lighter and more filled with love and hope than ever.

I didn’t know how much I was in the dark until I climbed back into the light.

I am back.

And I am here to share some of my stories, some of the hard lessons I learned, and how I found myself again.

This is a photography and life blog about finding the magic in the moments, about chasing the light.

I hope you’ll join me on this journey.

Three things I am grateful for today: The smell of the rain, the colour of the sky before a storm, and not being in the direct track of Hurricane Fiona.

Capturing the Light

January 30, 2017January 31, 2017 ~ In a Snap ~ 1 Comment

A pretty chandelier caught my eye while out shopping with my family. It was perfect for the master bedroom – glittery glass pendants and shiny, embossed brass.

The circular patterns caught my eye first; the shadows cast across my ceiling, second.

A simple addition (a sale item, too!) quickly became an unexpected inspiration to capture with my camera: light as art.

Weekly Photography Challenge: Grid

There is lattice above the fence in our backyard.

Here, a pattern of light emerges because of the diagonal lines of the grid.

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Grid.”

Better than None

More tulips.

If they can’t grow outside, I’ll buy them and keep them inside. Besides, they give me something to photograph and they look pretty on the table.

These white ones caught the light from the window and became almost transparent, showing off the details of their petals.

Striped Light

The sunlight, streaming through the pergola, through the window, gives my curtains a new pattern: Stripes.

The Light Shines Through

I have a basket in my bathroom, with shampoo bottles in it. At a certain angle, the light shines through the bottles and out these tiny holes where the tin meets the wicker.

I had to photograph these cute little coloured dots.

Water on My Window

February 12, 2015 ~ In a Snap ~ Leave a comment

While washing dishes, I noticed the way the sunlight glistened off the melting frost on the window.

The dishes could wait.

I grabbed my camera and while the dishwater cooled, I captured the light. Playing around with the focus and the aperture settings, I was able to create an abstract composition of a few drops of water.

Even the tiniest detail can become the subject of a photograph.
