I’m BACK! and a Photography Exercise

After 3 weeks of nothing but sickness in our family, I am BACK! YAY!!! Yes, we still have the cough, cold and Cody is going through a new version of his sickness, but we are trying to make it over the hump of the February BLAHs.

I was hit with the flu last week and wow, that thing sure knocks you down! I haven’t had the flu in years and I had forgotten how “knock you down, don’t even try to get up, go to bed and sleep” the flu can be. I don’t wish that on anyone. I have been fever free for a few days now, yet my body still aches.

Now, on to more fun stuff!

You all know how much I adore Me Ra Koh and the amazing world of Soar!

The greatest part of Soar! is that although you may have not have won and become the OFFICIAL Soar! recipient, you have the ability to follow every exercise and mimic the steps the ladies are taking during their Soar! year. The difference is the transparency in which these women are sharing themselves through the Soar! blog.

Whether you aspire to become a photographer or simply want to improve your photography skills, I suggest you follow along on the journey. You will be amazed at the path your photography takes this year!

Part of the Soar! program that the Soar! Winners (Rachel, Charisse, and Ali) is to complete photography exercises on different topics and subjects.

Photography exercise #2 (exercise 1 is here if you want to start there) is Defining Details.

Any great story teller provides not only the big picture, but also also the smallest details that play an integral part in the story.

I love details. Every little detail tells you something different about the overall story. It gives a true visual to the emotion, the setting, the characters.
