What is better than a quilt made by your grandma and a meal made by your boyfriend? If they have the same color palette! Took this shot with my mom's old Minolta. It's been about 2 years since I've used film.

I saw these Cedar Waxwings in Cedar Falls, IA this winter. This photo was inspired by Van Gogh's painting, "Almond Blossoms". Cedar Waxwings eat the fermented berries from the trees in the winter and get drunk, make lots of noise, and fly around...drunkenly.

I went to help my friend one day during lambing season. This was the only moment she was still all day. She brought the sick lamb into her mud room, gave it medicine, and sat with for half an hour. I'm not sure what became of that little lamb.
I wonder if I should crop the left side of the frame, to simplify the image. But I hate cropping, I sort of feel like I should get at least the framing right the first time around. What do you think?

Springtime is the time for starting your plants indoors or in greenhouses. It's also time to start your calluses! Here my lovely hand model is helping some baby plant shed it's seed pod, so the new leaves can stretch and grow.

What I'm really looking forward to most this season is beautiful produce to take pictures of! And, of course, eat.

ReplyDeleteI love the meal and yr grandma's quilt. A perfect still life. This blog is fantastic, Phoebe. I'm a subscriber! x cynthia
ReplyDeleteThe first is definitely my favorite! Great color. What kind of film was it?
ReplyDeleteProbably Kodak Tri-X 400, although I'm not totally sure. Ah, film is great. Can't wait til I can figure out how to do that with digital.
ReplyDeleteWe love the quilt photo too! It's so artsy in the focus and the color is so rich.
ReplyDeleteLove the seed pod being removed from the seedling too. Such a tender, caring motion with big callused hands. I like the tension between the two ideas.
I love the swiss chard photo too, as though the leaf itself were a work of art. Though next time I would crop off the kelly green neck of the shirt.
And the Cedar Waxwing photo just makes my heart sing! A clear blue sky on a winter day is the best! Nice composition.
Can't wait to see more photos!
