it's really about the light isn't it? the love of what we do, and the light.
the way we light our own path, means so much. the beauty we project to the world is good for something, but mostly the beauty we present to ourselves, means the world. for me it's important to find beauty, in the smallest most simple things. but you know me well, so in a sense, im preaching to the choir. ; )
i thought a lot about life this week...
as i found a moment of alone time( last night) the sun began to set. i picked up my camera and instantly, i began to relax. i found the sweetest joy, in these grocery store daisies. i find flowers are like prayer in a vase...
this light i witnessed, warmed my soul. i trusted this light that took me by the hand. i began taking small steps toward the ordinary. feeling the poetry of water on my hands, as i did the dishes. listening to the worlds motions outside my window. i dig that.
kick fear in the ass this weekend and do something you love... then share it with the world.
happy weekend, my friends!
one love~

Christina, you are the woman! Soft words and images combined with common sense and plain speaking...my favorite kind of person! I plan on kicking a** in NYC tomorrow.

I am speechless at the emotion in the flowers and your words. What ISO were you at on # 1 &5? Please.

flowers are like prayers in a vase...I'll be treasuring that thought for a long while.

With my camera I love to meditate on flowers, and I, too find they're like a prayer in a vase.
Wishing you a lovely weekend!

If this is the sort of light you get to see after kicking fear's ass then count me in.
I am always moved by the extreme lightnes of your pictures and the text that comes with them.
Thank you.
Yes, there is something about the light that makes your pictures just lovely. Love your words, "prayer in a vase". I will look at my flowers in the vase a different way today. Thanks!
Prayers in a vase. That is the most perfect description ever. Thank you for that - for the pointing out of that. Gorgeous.

It is all about the light and say it with such eloquence. Fresh flowers found in a grocery store, a ditch, a garden, or florist are one of the soul satisfying simplicities of life. I'm with you there.
*Hugs*
just having you on the same planet makes this world a little more bearable.
although my comments are few and far between....
i never miss a christina post.
love! love! love!

I love the simple moments that are full of grace. I love how you share your light with us. I also love kicking fear in the ass!
Good heavens, what glorious shots! I especially like the lens refractions in the last one, awesome!
so glad you got a moment to yourself...it's always such great to see captures of you interacting with light. so lovely.
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
my neighbor told me that he went to an art festival on saturday. (as it turns out, i drove by it, but had the pup with me so couldn't go in.) he said his most favorite photo was of an unmade bed. he asked the photographer how he made such a mundane thing look so magical and the guy said that it was the light. light really is so magical.
Stopping by on the fly...gorgeous images and words to match! xoxox
Photography really is all about painting with the light…the last one is my favorite.
