We’ve MOVED!: http://www.creativemonologues.com/weblog/

Starting up my own website, so I’ve moved my blog there!  Go to http://www.creativemonologues.com/weblog/ to continue following me. 

Hello and Getting Started

Just getting started here and hope that I have something to say that others want to hear.  Still learning what I’m doing, but hopeful that I can share my photographic adventures and add something to the world of Blogging.    May occationally mix in a bit of poetry, life, and nursing, but we’ll see what happens! Sit back and enjoy the ride. 

First lets start with the name of this blog: Life at 1/250th.  First it was a name suggested to me by John Milleker, one of my photography mentors and boyfriend.  But…it is also a shutter speed, and I’ll totally admit that one of the aspects of photography that I struggle with is shutter speed, and maybe it is a reminder to myself to pay attention to this important aspect of photography.

What is it about photography that draws me in?  I’m not totally sure, but the fact that a moment can be captured to share with others, to show the world a different view of something they pass or see everyday, or to put an artistic edge to something.  There are also many facets of photography to explore…sometimes it can get overwhelming!  There is digital, there is film (which does still exist, although a fading art!), there are different processes to explore, too.  I’ve recently begun experimenting with Cyanotypes.   It is probably the blue in these prints that captures me, especially since blue is my favorite color.

I’ll try to find time to share those advantures here, soon.
