life lately.





For some reason I had in it me over the weekend to actually use my "camera camera" for more than a couple outfit pictures.  I had it handy to grab little bits of life.  I really enjoyed it & it makes me want to learn more about my camera, taking pictures, and editing.  And I love that the fruits of it are memories to keep.  

I took a photography class when I was a sophomore in college.  It was of course with that ancient thing called "film," -- but I loved it... being in the dark room was one of my most favorite things.  One day I vow to go back to film, but first I think I'll tackle the technology presently at hand.

As a means to help myself "stay on the job," so-to-speak, I was thinking about starting a weekly link-up series on Mondays called "LIFE LATELY".  For me it will be posting pictures, but for those who might want to link up, you can take your own spin on things on what and how you post... what does your LIFE look like Lately?  No real rules, just share a bit of your life as it currently is in whatever way you want to post about it and try to visit another blog or two.  

The FIRST link up will be next Monday, June 3rd.  Let me know in the comments if you think you might join & please help spread the word.  xo

  4. I would love to join in...I need something to motivate me to use my camera more. My kids are teens and I find myself bad about taking pictures as they've gotten older.

  5. I'm in (if I can get my behind in gear!) but I've never done a link up before. This may be a silly question but for link ups, do you link to a post you've just written or could we link to something from the current week? I don't trust myself to have a deadline! :)

  10. I like how you said 'camera-camera' lol. That's how I have felt lately. I have been using the camera on my phone a lot lately but recently decided to go back to my actual camera, to adjust settings, to edit and to really just capture all the moments as they happen.

    The link up sounds like a fun idea. Sign me up!
