There is no other word to describe how I feel as your emails arrive with your beautiful photos. I am truly overwhelmed.
When we started working on the dvd project, I really had no idea how people would like it. I hoped and prayed it would connect with parents, but you never know if something is going to fly until you jump.
As you’ve been sending your photos the last 48 hours, I’m also moved by the stories you are emailing. It’s amazing to read about how you’ve connected with a certain chapter on DVD 1, and it inspired you to catch something breathtaking like this. This little guy will have this photo forever, and what an amazing thing that one of his parents spotted it and knew what to capture.
The mom that took the image below said she was experimenting with aperture, and I’m in love with how she blurred the background to add softness to her daughter’s quiet moment.
The hands, the rope swing, the blurred smile are all amazing in composition, detail and aperture. Talk about a breath taking detail shot. This mom nailed it! A lot of people have sent detail images, and it’s fun to see how that specific chapter really connected with so many parents.
There are so many more that are being emailed. Thank you for sharing your stories with me. I treasure each one. You have no idea how encouraging they are to read.
So good news! We’re extending the deadline to send in photos b/c the ones you are sending are way more amazing than we ever imagined. We want to give you the weekend if you’d like to send more or haven’t had a chance to send one yet. Don’t forget to put “DVD 2 photo submission” in the subject line and the title of the exercise or dvd chapter that inspired the idea for your images.
And for those of you who post comments on the daily blog posts, YOU have no idea how much you make our day. Our stats tell us that sometimes 1000 people will hit our blog, but when you only see 1 comment you feel like only 1 visited. It’s hard to visualize another 999 readers behind that comment.
Your comments help me believe that the blog really is leaving my studio and going out to people. 🙂 Thanks so much for posting, I don’t tell you enough how much it means.
OH.MY.GOODNESS. The little boy with the bubbles??? I LOVE IT!!!! What a beautiful moment – you’re right, they’ll treasure that photo forever…
I’m glad to hear that you are so blessed by all the photos sent to you. I really felt silly sending you photos. I debated sending them… I don’t know I just figured you’d be bombarded with photos… But, I am glad I did. I was thinking about it and you share with us all the time in your exercises, photos and life experiences and I shouldn’t feel silly for sharing how you’ve helped me…
I know for sure I have friends that visit your blog and they don’t leave comments! They know who they are! 😉 Your exercises and photos are such a blessing to US! Thank YOU for sharing with us!
Hi Me Ra!
I check your blog at least 3 times a week. It is the only one I check with that frequency! I’ve not commented until inspired by your “Running on Empty” contest (I just had to speak up for my friend Kari!). I just didn’t think you’d want to have to read all the comments! But now that I’ve started commenting and sending in photos, you might wish that I would stop!
Your blog, photos and DVD were/are such an inspiration to me! It might even be the start I need to making a career change to photography. I’m thinking about it…. Anyway, know that we are out here reading and enjoying your blog even if we don’t comment!
