Notes From the Author

I hope to use this blog as a diary of sorts, in order to document my quest of perfecting my skills. Areas that I am particularly fond of include: photography, gardening, cooking - baking -canning, painting - sketching and of course writing. Like so many others, the word 'perfection' haunts me. I strive to reach it daily not truly knowing what it is or how to achieve it. Yet, I won't settle for less. Here is my blog showing my struggles and my hopeful successes. I don't need to be perfect but I must try to ascertain it.

Crafting a Story

I love writing.  Particularly, I love hunting for the perfect words and allowing their connotations to cast a tone upon my scene.  The fundamentals of style writing: dictation, sentence structure, imagery, and tone.

Like wise, aperture, ISO, and shutter speed are my fundamentals for telling a photographic story.  Lighting is key.

Feel free to use the following visual prompts to craft a scene.  Try using diction (word choice) to capture the lighting (life force) of the photo.  Use sentence structure to create the rhythm and tone to cast a mood. Sprinkle imagery into the scene and you've sparked your writing style.

Focus on color.
Do you hear it?

Feel the textured ground.

Light is life

What is the connection?

Light and texture



Moonlight imagery.
Power of Light
