Capture 52 - Week 8: Bucket List

"Fashion changes, but style endures." - Coco Chanel

Week 8: Do something from your photography Bucket List, something you’ve always wanted to try. It could be a technique, a location, a style...anything.

I would love to photograph (or even attend) a Paris couture show, especially Chanel, Dior, or Givenchy. I would also love to live in a beautiful Paris apartment with a balcony where I could photograph the magical Parisian light everyday. #capture52 #capture52week8 #bucketlist #paris #fashionweek #pfw

Capture 52 - Week 7: Love

« L'amour est patient, l’amour est bon, il n’est pas envieux, il ne se vante pas, il n’est pas orgueilleux; l’amour ne fait rien de honteux, il n’est pas égoïste, il ne s’irrite pas, il n’éprouve pas de rancune; l’amour ne se réjouit pas du mal, mais il se réjouit de la vérité. L’amour permet de tout supporter, il nous fait garder en toute circonstance la foi, l’espérance et la patience. L’amour est éternel.» - 1 Corinthiens 13:4-8

Share the Love for Valentine’s Day and use it as your prompt this week. #capture52 #capture52week7 #love #amour #loveis (57:52)

Ma Vie en Rose

« Je vois la vie en rose. » - Edith Piaf

It’s time again for the January blues to give way to 29 days of rosy hues. Happy February!

Capture 52 - Week 6: Texture

“That's the chief lesson I have learned: The texture of our universe is one where there is no question at all but that good and laughter and justice will prevail.” - Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Texture brings life and vibrancy to images that would otherwise appear flat and uninspiring. #Capture52 #capture52week6 #texture #stjoanofarcchapel #marquetteuniversity (41 on 52)
