A rare picture of me, taken by my tripod and self-timer.
We were at the Cracker Barrel
and I saw this little bird on the
rocking chair .. so I took a few
shots .
One day, life will be simple. One day, joy will be rustic. One day, a day very soon, I'll reduce my world to a handful of things, of people, of places. One day.

It was a great find when I opened up a cupboard
at the museum and found two photo albums from
Anson McNish.

I love my morning walks and enjoy looking at all the pretty houses, porches, yards and gardens. This porch caught my eye with its three stunning Boston Ferns alongside three chairs.
I had a lot of fun with this photo. Originally, I wanted to do something more depressing. As you can see, my pointe shoes are too small and my rocking chair is teeny. I wanted to play off that and make a really sad photo about how I have to grow up when I don't want to.
However, as I was going through my photos, I liked this one. The expression is just goofy. And I had fun with this shoot. (My favorite part was when the snowplow guys almost ran me over.) Basically, this was a happy day, and I didn't want to misrepresent it. Plus, I'm really excited to grow up.
I don't want to become boring and old, but I know that I won't because I'm not boring and I'm not going to lose my childlike sense of wonder. Even though I'm growing up, I don't have to be a grown-up yet :)

-18C when I woke up - those are the mornings I put the fireplace on. Dual light effects here - a little light from the window shining on the rocking chair, and the glow from the fire.
Balanced composition is pretty straightforward, unless you are trying to shoot in the "Accidental Renaissance" style. So shoot a balanced image in the Accidental Renaissance style.
I wasn't thinking of the Dogwood challenge when I took this candid photo of my friend, so any resemblance it has to a Renaissance portrait is truly accidental.
