Inspired ART?

Inspired by one woman.

Who was inspired by another woman.

I decided to embark upon a week long photo challenge - to attempt to capture with a camera a little bit of MY world and actually portray it as fine, inspired art.

There is so much meaning behind a photo, a whole world exists and revolves around the one dimensional view as seen in a single photo. I wonder if I captured any of my world through the eyes of the camera lens? I think I'm beginning to.

I have a favorite quote on my photography blog, it goes like this -

I think the best pictures are often on the edges of any situation, I don't find photographing the situation nearly as interesting as photographing the edges.

~William Albert Allard, "The Photographic Essay"

There is a situation that is meaningful to me behind each one of these photos. I hope that I have captured the edges. That is a story for another blog and another day.

I decided to pick one of my selections below and frame it in a manner befitting of

~FINE INSPIRED ART~

And Now . . . A Word from our Sponsors . . .

Just wanted to clue you all in on a great giveaway going on over at

"The Welcome Mat".

Victoria has a wonderful sight that is so much fun to visit. Once you get to know her, you'll be back for more sure as shooting.

Speaking of shooting - she has taken up the Pioneer Woman week-long photo challenge, of taking your photographs up a notch and creating artwork. Be sure to let her know which of all her photos you most prefer. I'm going to give it a try myself - so watch for my week-long entries of photos. Can't wait to see what I come up with.

As for me Victoria - this is my favorite. Too cute, and love the meadow and flowers in the background. Looks like Mt. Timpanogos . . . one of MY favorite places!

And by the way - I can practically taste that homemade bread. I think it's heading in my direction:)
