I edited this shot using Kim Klassen's texture "Awaken" for an assignment in an e-class "Beyond Layers" class by Kim Klassen. I was late getting started into the class so I kinda combined several of the classes to create this image. I am enjoying and learning so much in this class. In this assignment I was to create an image depicting six words about myself. I chose "The Simplest Things Make Me Happy" for several reasons.
1. I do love the simple things in life.
2. I love the simple things in nature like these berries.
3. I get so much joy when I learn to do something simple like adding words and texture to an image.

I made the wrap version, with the short sleeves and the belt.
The fabric is a cotton voile from Westminster Fibers, in a colorway that is ideal for someone with three black and white dogs.
I thought the fabric would be too sheer to wear without a slip or lining but it turns it's absolutely fine without, which is great. This a perfect summer dress.

Triptych of photos taken for the simplicity theme this week :-)
Colourful Thursday, Geometry Sunday, Focus Friday.
"7 Days of Shooting" "Week #33" "Simplicity" "Shoot Anything Saturday"
This photo displayed the largest amount of simplicity out of the ones that I took. I really like there is golden light on the spire that contrasts with the shadows on the opposing side of it, none of my other photos were able to show the contrasting light as well as this one. In light room I slid the shadow slider left, Significantly raised the temperature, increased vibrance and decreased saturation, and slid de-haze to the right. I was trying to create a warm happy mood.
Simplicity 2892 with Horner voile. This is the third thing I've made this month for me, so I'm very proud of myself. This will be my shirt for the 4th of July since I think it looks like fireworks. :)
Canonet 28. Simplicity and style.
I always ask about a camera's history. The only thing the seller could tell me, was that it belonged to a journalist.
There was still film inside, so I'll develop that, but it needs a PX625 1,35V for proper metering. Now it shoots at 1/30s.

My house is called "Simplicity Cottage," and it's located in the middle of some peaceful woods. I've really been working towards having less physical stuff in my life, so I only used the contents in my wallet that made me feel at peace. This included a Westchester Parks ID card, the college ID where I met my husband, the library card where I read with my daughter, and some floral stamps. What's more telling is what didn't make it: money, my business cards, credit cards, insurance cards, MTA cards - all the elements of my life that keep me moving somewhat faster than I'd probably like to be.
First pic is cottage, second shows all the other stuff...

2/52 Simplicity
I’m feeling a little drained this week so I opted for a simple portrait for this weekly project. And I keep having to remind myself that is okay. The purpose of this project is to exist in photos. They don’t always have to be extravagant and skillfully edited. Sometimes they can be simple. Stay tuned to see what’s in store for next week.
So, sorry this photo isn't all that great, but I felt the need to upload something. It's certainly been a while, and I feel bad, but it's just that I'm so lazy and I haven't been wanting to take pictures or make videos or anything. Hopefully once summer is here (nine more days!), I'll get back into my routine. Until then, I shall continue to be lethargic.
