Late to Lent

The Lenten Season snuck up on me this year. It was Sunday before I realized we were already five days in. But it has been an important time of growth and reflection in recent years, so I'm sliding in through the back door regardless of not being on top of things. 

Lately, I've been so challenged by things I've read, heard, and seen... and they are all making me think about motivations in my heart, paths I am headed down, the things that have been put in my life and the desire I have to use them for real good and for something that lasts. That can be rather exhausting to think about, but I've narrowed it down to a couple areas and at least over this season of preparing for Easter, I'm taking some time to shut off a few loud noises and to seek clarity and direction. Or just to seek the face of God and grow more concerned about real life and less concerned about the stuff that shouldn't matter.

And photos. They fall into this mix somehow. I'm thinking about a lot of things concerning them but one small exercise, more creative than philosophical, over these next few weeks will be to shoot only in black and white. At least until Easter. Until that sun rises.

Scenes From the Days | Chinese New Year


We had a pretty sweet, pretty wonderfully chill Chinese New Year break that is fast coming to an end. Having all the chilin's home can be challenging and sometimes not entirely restful, but we thoroughly enjoyed our days together with just each other, and those that were shared with others. As much as we love to get out and see new things and explore other lands, it is sometimes just as good to hibernate at home. I'm thankful that either way, it seems what we are most in need of is always just what is provided.

A Year of Moving Pictures | a 2016 Project

Lately I've been obsessed with moving pictures; snippets of video compiled into some sort of cohesive moving story. It's a whole new genre of learning with skills I'm just starting to dive into and explore. There is so much room for growth. As a lover of photography, it brings a whole new game and yet a lot of familiarity.

I've also joined a group of other photographers from Clickin Moms and once a month we will be sharing a video we've made, along with a link to another photographer in our group. You can click along and see others progress and their unique perspective too.
