| You might wonder why I am posting photos other than adorable kiddos or a fun family. Well, I have decided to participate in a group called BE{inspired} created by LaCoursiere Photography. It is a group focused on inspiring other photographers and inspiring ourselves to be creative with our work. Sometimes we don't have time to focus on personal projects and are busy, busy, busy with editing or on location at a photo shoot to really remember what inspired us as photographers in the first place. So, we all post our blogs to the BE{inspired} page on Facebook (any photographer can join) not only for feedback but as a way to actually make us work on our projects!! I consider it a monthly homework assignment and I will get in trouble if I don't do it, hehe. My BE{inspired} project will consist of a monthly blog post going to different locations throughout Minnesota, possibly surrounding states, or even out of the country (it depends where 2013 brings me) to get inspired by texture, nature and our daily surroundings. I have recently had a major change in my life and I want to recognize the beauty that is around me every day but capture it in a different way. Eventually my art will become décor for my future home. My first stop in January is the amazing city of St. Paul, MN....I found this appropriate to capture because the St. Paul Winter Carnival is starting and I grew up enjoying this lovely city and carnival events but I wanted to actually capture it as a piece of art. I wanted to be a little more creative but the lack of time and freezing cold weather down played my original plans. Good thing I have one year! :) I hope you enjoy these photos and why I love St. Paul so much. -Tracy |
