I have been participating in this free online workshop combining writing and photography to discover yourself and do some great reflection. This is #4 in the series, but you can join in at anytime. I have linked to Divas & Dreams below.
From Divas & dreams: This weeks´s assignment is about celebrating prints…a bit strange perhaps, but at the moment I´m so much in love with photo prints – new and old, and I put them every where in my house because they really makes me happy and gives me inspiration. I know that many digital photogs hardly never get their work on paper, my self included, at that´s a real shame. There are some special feelings connected to holding your printed work in your hand…or at least that´s what I think… I guess it´s the memories connected to it that´s the trigger, or maybe the memories of the creative process you went throug to make it?
Here are my photos of my prints. I have prints all over the house, on our shelves and on the walls, on the piano and then some digital frames to show more recent and faves of my digital photography of family and memories. I love to be surrounded by those who I love so they are all important to me. We have big family photos that I have framed in 8×10 and a super big one of Schuyler ski racing. We love photos of the 2 of us (we look so great together), so we have those in the bedroom with the kids latest school photos too. I cherish all the photos “worthy” enough to put into frames. Dogs, kids, family and I looked downstairs to find some of my Ironman competitions that I truly treasure!
Here are my photos:
This one is of all the old photos I have framed (Mom & Dad’s wedding 1950’s, one of them together and one with their parents, my grandparents) and this beautiful one of my Grandfather Harry A Hosley who I really think is an incredibly handsome man. They sit on my grandmother’s antique buffet — which is a family heirloom I am proud to own. 🙂
The bookshelf downstairs is a true celebration of memories I have been carrying with me through life. Top shelf is me as a ski patroller at Killington with Chester (my first Yellow lab — an amazing dog) Photo of Schuyler & I and then Schuyler’s shelf at the bottom. All the other “treats on the shelf have great meaning of their own — from the doll, to the tractor & Breyer horses….
This is a close up of Schuyler’s shelf — he has grown up so much! Love the bobble head doll we got at a Fisher Cat game. Schuyler was so photogenic as a boy — I remember taking all of the photos displayed.
My last Ironman triathlon I completed but best performance (Personal Record Ironman) print from 1998 — I finished in 11:52:04 — you can see the time on the plaque — something I am so very proud of. Surrounded by Mickey Mouse from Disney and part of our Breyer Horse collection.
The last photo is one of Schuyler and I when he was 4 years old in the woods.. Winter is my favorite seasonI love this frame too!
I think about the photos I take now in digital and really want to frame them — I think it would be a real celebration of my work to frame as I think they are worthy…..just doesn’t seem to be enough room in the house to display them all — so I really like the digital frames. 🙂
