Fifty-Two Frames: Fire.
Had a bit of an existential crisis this week. I ended up writing to our Fifty-Two Frames organizer about how I wonder if it’s better to just end it rather than keep going at such a lower level than the professionals in the group. But no, I’m not a professional, and it’s not even about…

Fifty-Two Frames: Water.
Good album all around… Click to check it out. Week 27: Water And yet, we still take this transparent magic for granted.

Fifty-Two Frames: On the Move.
Not shocking, but it’s pretty hard to shoot a good in-motion picture with a P&S. Ever since reading this, I have a bit of camera envy. Week 26: On the Move Trudging along, steps’ efforts never forgotten, memorialized by heat and sun, set in time.

Fifty-Two Frames: Gems/Stones
As my husband pointed out, I haven’t taken out my ‘good’ jewelry since the night of our wedding. Well, that just goes to show you… we probably don’t need contents insurance. Cowboy Woody also has a very feminine facial structure. Ever notice that? And why shouldn’t cowboys be allowed a soft moment? Week 25: Gems/Stones…

Fifty-Two Frames: Doors.
This is a bit fitting; I took the photo at Tmol Shilshom, where I join the Writing Gym on Sundays. I can say after four sessions that it’s really managed to open me as a writer, and helped me to let go of a fear of being wrong or untrue in my storytelling. From listening…

Fifty-Two Frames: Out of Focus.
Some weeks I let the photo come to me, some weeks I try too hard, and some weeks I have one idea, and I do it once, and it works. I liked the yellow of the background to kinda indicate old vs new, giving the papers a parchment glow. But I sacrificed the natural color…

Fifty-Two Frames: Tasty.
Vegemite gets a bad rap. I’m American, I’ve tasted it, and gosh darn it, I do like it on a piece of toast with some butter. If you like salty, and you like toast, what’s the issue? Week 22: Tasty Yeast extract: Australian for ‘tasty.’

Fifty-Two Frames: New.
Who wants to get caught up in a fresh whirlpool of crushed chick peas? Week 21: New Let’s take a dip.

Fifty-Two Frames: Old.
Week 20: Old “When I was your age, we hated the people with zeros in their phone numbers.”

Fifty-Two Frames: Bathrooms.
After spending a long week thinking up cooky ideas, I should have known at the last minute I could count on the Tmol Shilshom bathroom to offer up a cooky one of its own… Week 19: Bathrooms. “The Pee of Life.”

Fifty-Two Frames: Sound.
Here’s what I learned: Sound is tough to photograph. If you don’t want to be cliche. I got some cool shots of construction trucks mid-scooping and dropping dirt (I can’t remember how to say their names in English, aside from the names they have on Bob the Builder. Seriously.). But they didn’t convey the sound…
