52 Living


I have been inspired by the Girl Talk Bloggers to create a little new little "bit" on my blog. Faithful Girl Talk Blog Readers will be aware of their new photo series 52 Home. These are a series of pictures which the very talented, photography-loving daughter Janelle captures of the occurrences of ordinary life: a sink full of dishes, a Monte Cristo sandwich with cheese slowly dripping over the crispy bread, a toddler’s wet bathing suit draped over the balcony rail in search of sunshine etc. The pictures are simple but beautiful, not only because of their composition, but because of their subject matter--home and family life. It all has the purpose of showing the beauty of home and the daily routine of life. For those of you wondering, the Girl Talker’s dubbed it “52 home” because they intended to post one picture every week for a total of 52 photos in a given year (although they often post more than once a week).

So I have been inspired.

Some of you know that in the past I have sometimes posted what I called the "picture of the week." Well, after looking at their 52 Home series I have borrowed the Girl Talkers idea and retiled it for my needs... may I introduce 52 Living: Life through my lense. Essentially it will be like what I have done in the past, except maybe now I will be more creative and consistent in the pictures I post.

Avocado anyone?
