{project 26} dream dream dream

she dreams of the fair

As she stepped away from me

And she moved through the fair

And fondly I watched her

Move here and move there.

And then she made her way homeward,

With one star awake,

As the swan in the evening

Moved over the lake.

~She Moved Through the Fair – Traditional Irish Folk Song

time again for our friday installment of {project 26} with this week’s topic of “dream dream dream”. i have always been so inspired by susan burnstine, an incredible artist who documented her night terrors and dreams through her alternative photography. her work was on my mind quite a bit this past week. instead of a night terror, i decided to document something not quite frightening, yet not exactly blissful either – an in between of sorts – which is where most of my own dreams lie. i very much enjoyed this week’s project, and hope to expand on it further as a personal project.

continue dreaming with gina weathersby | kiwi street studios and on through the circle from there. such a dreamy way to spend a friday morning, i think.

{project 26} takes my breath away

i’m very excited to share my first installment from a fabulous project i was invited to called “project 26″. every other friday, a group of (amazing!) photographers will be posting to a topic we have been given, creating a collection of inspiration that will continue through to the end of the year. there are some really wonderful topics planned and i’m excited to stretch my creativity on a regular basis. this week, our topic is “take my breath away”. we are allowed to interpret the topic as closely or as loosely as we would like. there are SO many things that take my breath away in this beautiful life, but one of the most breath taking things for me in photography is the capture of the wind. i never tire of the way it looks to wrap around you, creating it’s own shape.

this circle has an incredible group of photographers participating. please continue on and see what gina weathersby|kiwi street studios is offering this week! thank you to all of the ladies in the group that invited me to play. i know you will all be a wonderful source of inspiration!

a smile for monday

the cove

“… I never went to the cove and whenever I saw the hunters with their long spears skimming over the water, I was angry, for these animals were my friends. It was fun to see them playing or sunning themselves among the kelp. It was more fun than the thought of beads to wear around my neck.”

~Island of the Blue Dolphins

it’s hard to believe we are already into april with our {elevate}a fine art photography exploration project – please have a look at my dear friend nichole van’s post nichole van|utah fine art photographer and enjoy the rest of the fine art circle.
