walked the brooklyn bridge tonight and got so many out-of-focus photos. i cannot wait to share. some are very pixel-y because it got dark, but i’ll see what i can do to process them despite it!

out-of-focus #11

i like the way this photo makes me almost think it was taken with a more vintage camera. it is almost out-of-focus enough to make me believe it… i think this is one of my favorite photos right now.

i don’t dream of a white picket fence. instead, i dream of a beautiful, black (a touch of rust is fine), wrought iron fence. this brings me home.

when i start looking for something, i start seeing it everywhere. each time i pull out my camera, i see the blurry moments everywhere waiting to be captured. and when i’m reading other’s blogs, i see blurry photos, beautiful blurry photos. i love all the photos i’ve seen, and wished i’d had a way to share them all together… when i remembered… flickr. so away i surfed across the internet, and poof: a new group is started. go. join. share the blur in your life. so many wonderful out-of-focus photos have already been shared across the blogosphere… please head over to the 100 out-of-focus photos group and add a few of your own so that everyone can see and share!

take a look at a few i’ve spotted recently: here, here, here. have you been capturing out-of-focus moments?

out-of-focus #7

in honor of love thursday and my out-of-focus project, i’m sharing this beautiful heart-shaped green leaf. i also wanted to share a few things i love today:

• all the wonderful comments that are being left on my new photography blog. it’s so encouraging, especially since my own fears were holding me back…
• this beautiful photo taken by rebecca. i’ve only recently found her photography, and i love, love, love her work.
• hearts in the sky in the photo love is everywhere.
• my new art supplies and the discover of peaceful creating. (and i’m using some of my photos for inspiration… the flower one has been seen on this blog recently…)

out-of-focus #6

i love the sidewalks in my neighborhood. every 20 feet or so, a tree is growing and around that tree, a passerby may have the pleasure of seeing a small but beautiful bit of nature growing. this is a sidewalk garden with purple beauties. on the bottom of the photo you can see the blurred wrought iron fence that protects it.

this is my first photo project that i’ve started inspired by a photo i took. i am only on photo 6, but i am already loving where this has gone and looking forward to where this will go next. and since the project was started, i’ve seen other wonderful out-of-focus photos. georgia and i were on the same thought path because when i posted my project and she was sharing blur she’d captured. i love moments when people connect thoughts by magic across the universe. and then elk posted her out-of-focus inspiration through her post embrace the blur. and the always inspiring mrs. e shared a blurry photo that she couldn’t bring herself to delete, describing these out-of-focus treasures to be much like memories… and shared her beautiful words, blur happens! sometimes i’m grateful for that.
