Behind the Lens---Photography Inspiriation

Our Behind the Lens series has been not only a fantastic way to meet and learn from other photographers but a terrific way to gain inspiration.   From Claire Penn's Still Life work to Chasing Dreams use of textures to Alex Beadon's creative eye, each photographer has helped us to look at photography in a new way.

This week our interview with Sylvia Cook , had me digging through my vacation photos of Spain and looking at them with a fresh perspective.  Here is how she inspired me to spruce up a sweet photo that needed a little pop.

Who has inspired you lately?  Please feel to post examples on our Facebook page.

Friday Finds--Textures from Chasing Dreams Photography

It has been a hectic day.  I just returned from my fabulous visit to the Midwest (and my blogging partner is in the mountains skiing with her family) and am trying to play catch up while doing mountains of laundry!  So despite the fact that it is late on Friday, I'm squeaking in a Friday Find and this is one you won't want to miss.   

We are so excited to direct you to our friend Colleen at Chasing Dreams Photography and her amazing textures!  Visit her Facebook page to receive an exclusive download of some of her textures.  We are certain that once you start playing with them that you will become as addicted to textures as we are!  And we are thrilled to let you know that Colleen will be featured on our Behind the Lens series next week.  So be sure to check out Moms Who Click on Tuesday to learn more about Colleen and Chasing Dreams Photography!
