I rarely do still life, but I, too, have done a bit of experimenting lately. Mostly, I dislike gathering the props and setting the scene. I have marbles from when I was a young girl. My grandchildren love looking at them.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-27289445897644315732015-02-03T15:27:39.854+01:002015-02-03T15:27:39.854+01:00Your still life photography is just lovely, Sandra...Your still life photography is just lovely, Sandra! I love your intention to be 'present' throughout each day. My 'One Little Word' for 2015 is 'present' and I'm working hard to be mindful of each moment.

While her images are truly beautiful, mine lack this kind of dreaminess. I'm also in the Still Life 52 class, but haven't started yet (finished a different class first). I do love the idea of becoming calm and still, and slowing down. Your images are beautiful, especially the first one speaks to me.Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-53525314067117258702015-01-31T03:08:44.602+01:002015-01-31T03:08:44.602+01:00Still life is certainly a wonderful genre for the ...Still life is certainly a wonderful genre for the depths of winter, Sandra!

I knew that material would help me create the feeling I wanted, to bring in depth and warmth and movement.
