Their Words~My Art Thursdays} Going to get 2 quotes today since it's been WAY too long since I've done a my art thursday. And some ramblings from me :)
I was just having a conversation with someone the other day about this type of photograph. I have a photo of my daughter swinging and she is out of focus except for her strands of hair floating behind her and it's one of my very favorites and it hangs beautifully in my home. Anyway, I was saying that every once in awhile in a session I'll have the opportunity to make a piece of art like this, and I know some won't get it. But to me this photograph speaks volumes, it makes you want to enter her dream world and it makes me loose myself as an artist in that moment as the shutter clicks. Thanks Ellie for giving me that moment.

Childhood is so magical...

As all of my blog followers know every Thursday is "Their Words~My Art Thursdays". It's a time when I post a quote and an image that I feel when combined tell a beautiful story. It's also a time when that's all I post and nothing more...so I know many of you are probably wondering, why is she babbling on...lol. Well, recently [Framed] Show put out a challenge for their upcoming show to post an image and tell a story about that image or simply let the image speak for itself. This challenge giveaway for this week is a yearlong membership to Red Leaf Studios Workshop. Now, I can't tell you how inspiring Red Leaf is to me, so when I saw this challenge come up, I was beyond excited!!

So since Thursday's are day's I specifically post these type of storytelling images anyway, I thought this would be a perfect time to share this one. I chose this image because I feel it tells a story of childhood. The freedom, the innocence, the endless possibilities... Oh, to be a child again. It seems that even if you aren't a child, when you watch a child at play in the complete freedom they feel in that moment, you will loose yourself and become a child again, even if just for a moment. I love that about working with children.

And because with every "Their Words~My Art Thursdays" I share a quote to tell the story...

"Backward, turn backward, oh time in your flight, make me a child again, just for tonight."
