in my backyard

One of the things I love about this Expose Yourself Project, and I guess photo communities in general, is sharing the challenges or just day-to-day tips or tidbits with other women (and men, too, but to be fair it seems to be overly saturated with women -with an Ashley, a Nicole, or a Marie often in the equation in particular). Regardless of gender, I'm happy to find a place where ideas and inspiration can be exchanged. As cheesy as that sounds, it gives you energy to keep trying new and better things! Climb higher, perhaps.

I enjoyed the "in your backyard" surprise challenge shoot with a clear, direct goal-- capture the essence of your backyard-- and I enjoyed sharing my photos and looking at some others. (This one from carina potts photography in particular was a favorite, but it's just the whole connected sort of "village" feel we all wish we had that draws me in.

If an artist paints a masterpiece and there's no one there to see it, is it really art?
