I was quite determined in my thoughts that I hadn't taken many photos while we were away. I had a reality check when I uploaded 1000 last Sunday. Many of the photos were deleted as I was working through examples in the book
Understanding Exposure, by Bryan Peterson. Most of my keepers were from the
FatMumSlim check list; this fact was interesting to me. I certainly like to take lots of practise photos, but the ones with meaning, despite technical competency, are the ones I am interested in for their stories and emotions.

I'm working on subtraction. The idea came to me from a newsletter I get from Ali Edwards and I would thoroughly recommend signing up if you haven't already. Years ago I enjoyed Ali's newsletters and again the themes are resonating.
Less doesn't necessarily mean bare or spartan. Taking away is often positive, think about the last time you took something away and your experience/creativity/reality was enhanced.

I particularly love that photo of the lamp,Amy....very atmospheric.
I get Ali's newsletter and read about 'subtraction' with interest....as you can probably imagine....quite a difficult concept for me....but one I should embrace!!
Another great batch of pics Amy!

I also really like the photo of the lamp - great angle and composition. xx
Isn't it great that you are able to your children the exact same sort of childhood you had. I'm liking the shot of your ear!
Lovely photos - I am intrigued by the house/homestead behind the lamp; does it have a particular significance? Yes, taking away is good. :)
Wow, these are lovely photos with such unique perspectives!
Beautiful images Amy. Happy New Year to you.
Yes Alexa, that building has a great deal of significance and you have given me an idea for February's Storytelling Sunday.
Ruth, I love the fact that our children get to have so many wonderful holidays where I grew up ... walking up and down that road was a big feature.
Lovely photos Amy.
Hello - I've gotten behind in Google Reader again. I didn't realise you were back. Lovely set of photos. I was going to send you a mail - the pass the page blog hop is on friday midday our time. Hope you'll come and say hello.
Great photos, as always . . . Your children's blue eyes always blow me away. I'm also a big fan of your self-portrait and the paints.
I've been a long-time subscriber to Ali's newsletter and the last two have been especially worthwhile. Lots to think about since I'm not home to do any subtracting!
Wonderful pictures and thanks for reminding me about Ali's newsletter.
Ahh Lovely photos Amy - All very creatively composed - i love the one with the lamp :)
Love this post and looking forward to catching up on what been happening while I went missing :) Liked what I read of Ali's newsletter to...ties in with my idea/word of Change!!
I enjoyed the newsletter too - even though I don't suppose I'll ever be much of a subtractor lol
The light in your photos is beautiful
Great photos Amy, I love the Blue skies :)
The children's portraits are fantastic!
