Always, Alli

Every morning I love checking my google reader and usually check out what the Shutter Sisters are up to. I find inspiration from the photos as well as the words.

Yesterday’s post was especially inspiring since we are leaving tomorrow to travel to The Lake for the weekend. If you check out my flickr, I have 14 sets in my Lake Martin collection (I made it this morning). And of course I will be adding more pictures to the collection in the coming months.

But, I want to make sure I get something different. I have been internally pouting over the fact that I will not have a coveted DSLR camera this summer and trying to keep the romance alive with my Canon Powershot S3. The Shutter Sisters blog post was a boost in the right direction. I need to find a different perspective with my picture taking, especially since I get a lot of the same Lake Martin shots every time we go.

But think of this as a challenge for you to do something different…a different perspective of a great memory that you can look back on and relish. The colors of the area, the locals, your children’s hands and feet constructing, or searching for that most perfect shell. The way the sunlight glowed at sunset in the face of your loved one, or, the first cup of coffee in the morning, wrapped in a blanket, watching the sunrise.

There are changes at The Lake since last summer- the kids are bigger and the water is higher. I’m sure I’ll be able to find the different perspective I’ll have to capture.
