Exposure triangle

An exposure triangle is a photography term about the relationship between ISO-the sensitivity level of your camera, aperture-the opening in your camera lens that controls the amount of light, and the shutter speed-that determines how long the light is exposed to the sensor in your camera. If you get all of those things just right you can create picture perfect photos. If you get even … Continue reading Exposure triangle

Out of my mind

I was up super late last night and I missed my window of restfulness. I fell asleep quickly, but it felt fitful. A combination of music and inconsistencies swirled in my head and I had a dream, clear and concise. I dreamed I was above myself, watching me go about life. I was in a store, maybe a grocery store, and I saw myself walk … Continue reading Out of my mind

Now that’s a gem

I was perusing my newsfeed before we left for my son’s game a few days ago when I came across a post shared by a friend of mine. The post is long, so I’ll just share some of it.

He’s a hard act to … Continue reading Hard to live up to

When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks about … Continue reading Don’t worry about the sand

Your questions, my answers

These are the questions I received minus some ridiculous ones that I refuse to answer. A couple of you stated how much this helps you and I’m glad. We are not alone. So, those questions. I’ve been making notes on my phone the last few days answering those questions. One person sent a question for me to ask my husband. So I did. I can … Continue reading Your questions, my answers

Hello, my name is….

I was out to dinner with my friends in a nice restaurant. It’s our favorite restaurant we frequent when we go out together. The food is phenomenal. You can cut the steaks with a butter knife. The atmosphere is “the brat pack” from way back before my time. The night we decided to go was fairly busy and I couldn’t get us a reservation until … Continue reading Hello, my name is….
