Rolleiflex 2.8D (Portra Kodak 800)
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.

St Martin's Church or simply "The Old Church"; Martindale
Martindale ‘Old’ Church, dedicated to St Martin of Tours, lies another half mile up the valley. The site has an old yew tree that is about 1,300 years old. Whether that reflects the age of the site as a place of Christian worship is unknown, the first reference to a church being in 1220. This is a very simple building which, despite modern restoration, is essentially as it was in the 17th century. The visitors book reflects the place this church has in the lives of many people.
The present building dates from the 16th century and was restored in 1882 after the roof fell in. St Martin’s is used occasionally during the summer months for Evensong and also for weddings.
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.
This skirt started off as a McCall's 5430 wrap skirt but the waist band looked awful (due to beginner sewer error I'm sure!) . I salvaged the bottom half of that skirt to make this skirt. I tried putting in an invisible zipper but after many failed tries to get that right, I decided to just go with an elastic waist. This pattern was easy (other than the zipper part- again, due to beginner error). I like the dark denim I used but I think the skirt looks too plain as is. I'm still trying to figure out how to add some interest or embellishment.
Sometimes just some vertical plastic boards under a bridge is all you need. Love this shot! From Kelsey & Eddie's E-Session here: blog.christopherfphotography.com/2014/10/kelsey-eddie-eng...

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. :)

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...
