Photography is not just sharing your own world; it is seeing and capturing the world around you. Those who follow me closely know enough about me. Let my photos of what I see be my introduction in this project. Big thanks to all new comers on my blog. Looking forward to meeting you all. Paula

This post is linked to the exciting new project http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_assignment/photography-101-home/.

  1. It’s so good to have you back. How are you? All’s well, I hope so much.

    I love the snail: so sharp and clear and detailed. And a lovely interpretation of home.

      1. You’re welcome sweetness and don’t worry, I understand. 😀
        Thank you hon. That’s so sweet of you to say, but this place is boring when you’re not around. ♥

  7. Hi Paula. Thank you again for the comments on my blog. All I can say is “wow”, I grabbed a macro lense a few months ago and can not even come close to your focus and depth of field. As I explore as many of the classmates works as possible, It is ah-ha moments like these that I will find as motivational and as a learning experience as the Photography 101 lessons themselves.

    1. Touched to hear you say that. There are some (now rare) moments of inspiration that make me do crazy things, like pick up a snail (foreign one) and put it on our car to use it as a model 😀
