Feeling stuck? Here's the inspiration you need...


Happy Friday Reader!

Today is Green Inspiration Day! When you think of green, you instantly think of nature, right? I absolutely love all the endless shapes, textures, and emotions that green brings into our lives. From wild and untamed to lush and intricate, green is a color that nourishes both our bodies and souls.

It’s all around us if we just take a moment to notice. No matter where you are, you'll find green. Even in the heart of the city, you'll find a blade of grass peeking through the sidewalk.

Let’s celebrate the beauty of green together, Reader.

Open your eyes to it, capture its essence, and share the greenness with us in our Photography Playground Photo Challenge!

For me, Frank Lloyd Wright's quote resonates on so many levels. It’s not just about appreciating the natural world, but also about staying true to my nature—embracing my authenticity and inner truth.

In my photography, this means capturing the essence of the world around me, whether it’s the raw beauty of nature or the depth of human emotion.

It’s about going beyond the surface, connecting deeply with my subjects, and allowing my unique perspective to come through.

Just as nature is effortlessly authentic, staying close to my true self ensures that my work remains genuine, impactful, and true to who I am as an artist.

Enjoy your weekend...

Happy Photographing!

When you master the ability to see beauty in the mundane, you'll find stories everywhere. Here are some ways to cultivate this skill and turn the everyday into...
