Over the past two weeks I have been participating in the first section of a class that started called At Play with Illuminate Classes. The first week was a study and practice with the second week being practice that goes toward submitting your work for the first part of lessons. Between work, parenting, and living, it was a lot, but I did it, lol!


I have really been wanting to tap into more creativity lately and this class has been the answer! Learning to break the rules, follow new rules, use editing techniques I don't normally do (ie.. black and white images), and really, just having fun with my camera again, has been freeing and also a challenge (which was much needed).


I wanted to share some of the images I have made from the past week that I thought were fun. The image to the right is called a diptych, something I had never even thought of doing before to add to the storytelling of my images.


If you're feeling stuck creatively or really in life, I highly recommend taking a class of sorts or joining some outing (book club, etc.), so good for the soul.
