focus on life: from where i stand
What a great topic. It can be interpreted in so many ways, literally and figuratively. This week I'm literal.
Sometimes I ask the question, "how is this photo staged?" and "what's outside of the camera's lens?" I did another post on this very topic here and it got some great responses - seems I'm not the only one asking this question. Staging is so important - that and cropping.
I'm such a digressor - digresser? - I digress.
In the spirit of this week's Focus on Life topic, staging and what's outside of MY lens...from where I stand...
pulled back
up close
(let's face it - active cropping is the facelift of photography, don't you think?)
and pulled back. a la kitchen faucet and paper towels.
Additionally...
Have a lovely weekend, my friends.
And be sure to look beyond the camera's lens.

DeleteLovely art as usual. I can color in the lines... but I can't really draw at all. Love your very clean kitchen, I can never get mine to look like that or even stay like that....and what a cozy chair....someplace to sit and read...Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sweet words, Vera.
DeleteWonderful take on the prompt! Any thoughts on doing more Water Color 101 classes?
ReplyDeleteThanks Beti! Actually, I've been thinking of doing another Watercolor 101 installment but I've yet to choose a topic. Anything you'd like to see covered? Just give me a shout.
DeleteI love those photos. So by staging, you mean neatening up your room first, yes? Ha,ha.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Actually, I don't have little ones anymore so it doesn't get as bad as it used to. However...did you click on the link to the first post on this subject??? I shot in my studio and it wasn't very neat to say the least. :)
