Focus. . .April Moon Day 5

I'm playing along with Kat over at I Saw You Dancing 

and her April Moon reflective writing challenge.

I can't promise I will write everyday 

but I do promise to post at the very least a photo, 

 art, or some thing each day during the next 2 weeks.

Today's one word prompt is FOCUS.

As a photographer, focus, for me, 

is how I see the world around me.

In life and through my camera lens 

I am often focusing on one thing

and missing everything else around me.

This isn't a bad thing.

It is about catching the moments

and capturing that exact instance.

A good picture focuses on that moment

and can transform the viewer 

to that exact place and time.

Self Portraits...

I've been playing with Catherine Just, again, and her In Plain Sight class.

This round a few self portraits. 

How appropriate that this year's new word is selfie! 

(which by the way blogger tells me is spelled wrong)

I recently visited Santa Barbara and fell in love.

Me, the first night, as I walked on the beach at sunset.

Toward the end of stay at the beach in Carpinteria playing.

Here's wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
