Studio Saturday: Bits and Pieces

(Studio Saturday is a weekly feature in which I share what I've been working on. Occasionally, I spend weeks working on one project and don't have much, if any, new progress to share. In those situations, I enjoy sharing lovely workspaces and what other artists have been doing lately.)



For the past few days I've woken up incredibly determined to complete another round of "Photo An Hour". (I did one last year.) I enjoy doing this because I get a lot of practice using my camera, and I'm able to capture the little details that create my day. Plus, it's far more enjoyable to see what my day was like in photographs, and not just written descriptions.

Despite my enthusiasm, I found myself constantly losing track of time, trying to keep up with photos I missed, and simply taking excessive photographs of everything I found beautiful. So these photos are not a true "Photo An Hour", but are just bits and pieces of my day. I hope you find it inspiring!
