Dear ,

If you've opened the past two issues of Picture to Ponder, you've seen the promotion of the upcoming Through and From The Lens course. Part of what is covered in that course is akin to what Picture to Ponder has been about.

The photography and queries presented here have been aimed toward personal growth and self-improvement, as well as daily inspiration for those who go back to the photographs.

Now, I NEED YOUR HELP. So I don't continue, second-guessing your wishes, please answer the following two questions:

1 - What did you expect when you signed up?
2 - How else may I serve you?

You can respond on the blog or email me directly. Thank you so much.

Today's Photos -

From the same late afternoon walk as earlier in the week with the sunlit window, this lock and structure caught my eye.

When viewing on the computer there is an unidentified something that's aesthetically pleasing to me in each. It's not necessary to know what it is.

In the Through and From The Lens course, you look at your photos and those of others, determine what catches your eye, and how to best visually present it. Invariably there are other personal insights that come into play also and as Marifran Korb said in yesterday's issue many experience increased joy in their everyday lives.

Self-Reflecting Queries -
Once again, the photographs are showing the same thing from two different perspectives - one from the side, the other straight on.

What do you experience as you view each? Does shifting the "point-of-view" make a difference? If so, is there someplace in your life, right now, where you can apply this?

Also, the subjects in each of these photos are obviously old, given the rust and wear we see. And yet the whole in each are beautiful, at least to me.

Again, I invite you to look into your life and notice if there are things, or people, that/whom you are passing by and ignoring because of their possible "ugliness". I invite you to shift the perception and find the beauty.

This is part of what we can be doing together in Through and From The Lens, starting on Tuesday night, or Wednesday day, your choice. Each class is limited to 10 participants only, so act now if the way of seeing expressed in Picture to Ponder calls to you.

Inspirationally,


Sheila
