photo love
it's a good day when you hear news of someone liking a photograph you took. constructive criticism is helpful, but photo love is even better. so, it was a good day for me, while in a swarm of mosquitos and unsettled feelings of overwhelm as my son slept placidly in the cabin up the hill in New Hampshire, that i received an email from sheri over at mamazine. turns out they like me!
check out the photo love shared through the Mama Focus contest and you can see the photo of mine (camerashymomma) that was recognized. yay! second runner up!
my photo was originally used in this post (which was its own different sort of feeling of overwhelm.) the whole process now strikes me as very funny. not funny ha ha, but ironic i guess that something that came from such pain could be seen as such creativity and later provide me with such a gift of beauty!
life is cyclical that way.
it humbles me and inspires me at the very same time.
so, thank you for the photo love and congratulations to all those winning mamas who participated with Mamazine and the Mama Focus Contest!

I realize I keep it to myself too much. I go from blog to blog, from flickr pages to flickr pages without telling people. I should tell more about the greatness I read, I see. I LOVE your photos, now I said it :-) When I look at them I feel calm, I like the glow, the simplicity, I feel the love behind the camera... Thanks for sharing with us.
my partner thinks this is a beautiful photo and knows the subject matter well through me...it is lovely and yes, what a gift to have others appreciate and see it.
