Common Enchantments

A black and white day

The first Saturday of the month is a challenge day by Emma Davies who created  A Year with My Camera photography course that I took a while back.   I did learn so much from her lessons.  So easy to understand.   And I do shoot off auto much more than I ever did!   I keep up with her emails and challenges because it makes me think about my photos.

One Day Twelve Pics is to shoot a photo every hour, no matter what it is or where you are, to post on the Facebook site or on Instagram.  I have been doing this monthly for maybe a year.  It makes me look for photos, seeing what might make a good photo..usually right here at my house.  So today I decided to shoot with the iphone in black and white using the windows looking outside as my subject.  I tried to  use a window in every room except I started by shooting out the glass door at the front porch and ended there.  This morning it was just getting daylight when I took the first photo and this afternoon at 5:30..it was bright and sunny with many shadows from the trees.     It was fun to find things to shoot! 

In my other creative project doing poems from pages of a book, I now have nine pages complete..which means I still have 21 more to go!   I have been posting these pages on my blog as a way to keep them in one place.   When I get the pages complete I will make a booklet cover out of heavier paper and make them into a book.   Reading the book I am using is taking some time..finding a story that has words that I want to use is harder than I thought it would be but I still have the desire to do this so maybe I can get another nine done this week.   I put one of the pages in the extras.  


Hope everyone is having a good weekend.  We are steam bathing here in SC after the heavy rain we had the last couple of days and now the hot air is back too!
