Fifty-two Fridays | Beauty | Bay Area Photographer

This year I’ve teamed up with 19 fabulously talented photographers in a project called Fifty-Two Fridays.  Each week we have a theme and our challenge is to post an image that best represents that theme.  Every week the end of the year is creeping closer and closer and I continue to be inspired and pushed creatively by my fellow photographers.

This week’s theme:

As I thought about the theme this week, there were so many directions I could go.  I find beauty in  many things.  I considered featuring my kids because they are the epitome of beauty to me, as I’m sure your kids are to those of you who have kids.  But instead, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and shoot something that I kind of, sort of really dislike shooting.  Landscape/still life.  I have never and probably will never claim to be a landscape/still life photographer. I’d rather photograph people any day.  But I chose landscape because I’m lucky enough to live in a beautiful area of the country with the golden hills surrounding our little town and old oaks dotting the landscape.  I’m able to walk out my front door everyday and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.  It’s one of my favorite parts of living in the Bay Area.  It truly epitomizes beauty.  I wanted to document the beauty of this area as the seasons begin to change from summer to fall.

I can not wait to make the circle this week to enjoy the beauty that my friends have posted, starting with a little bit of magic from Maureen Wilson | Mccomb Mississippi photographer.  Come join me!
