Hot Pic(ture)s
Looking through the lens
So much more than can be seen
With the naked eye
I’m combining my own Hotlight and Haiku Friday because I’m being all artsy-fartsy today. I love writing haikus and limericks (although my limerick ability has been pretty shoddy lately - I use up all my naughties spitting out prose these days) so I thought I’d join in all the fun that everyone has on Fridays.
Back in January (y’all, it’s the end of February! - we’re going to survive winter, I think), I asked for your favorite photography site. I am a frustrated photographer. I don’t have the right equipment (I carry around a point-and-shoot or [shhhhh] my phone). I don’t have Photoshop. I am too impatient.
But I love to browse through blogs where those with the gift use their photographs to share their lives with us. Thank you all who sent me these links.
Enjoy!
Clik&Clak (thanks to Lyvvie) - A beautiful site with music tied to the photos. Make sure you travel to the blogger’s other site From Belgium with Love - where everything is sepia-toned.
Lawstude’s Journeys (thanks to Dizzy Ms Lizzy) - photos from a law student traveling all over the world.
Dry Reading (thanks to Amanda) - an absolutely amazing site with beautiful photos from Craig Hickman and others. Tips and software (check out his weather guy and his D- program) also included.
All Eyes on Jenny (thanks to Lys) is the personal blog of Jenny Frazier - a young Bostonian working in PR. Her photography portfolio is amazing.
Brenda Eckhardt Photography (thanks to RC) - Personal and Senior High School portraiture. Beautiful work.
Intimate Photography by Amelia (thanks to Mouse) - a new blogger (Jan 2008). Go show her some love!
And my personal favorites:
Meghan - Xan and River’s mom is a gorgeous woman with a beautiful family and amazing talent.
The Pioneer Woman - Another Ree (hence sometimes I comment as “the Other Ree”). Who almost went to Chicago in black pumps. Instead she stayed west with Marlboro Man to take pictures. And raise punks.
—- Y’all? I’m giving up my day of REST for you. Today is Blog365’s day of rest since it’s Leap Year. If you’re wondering why your feed readers are actually a little calmer today, it’s because every other crazy ass who joined up to blog all year is taking today off. But not me. Because I promised you a Blogolution. Yea, yea, you know. —-

My nickname was always Ree growing up, and I never heard of a single other Ree until I started blogging. Now there are Rees everywhere!

I love taking photographs. I only have a cheap Nikon L3, but it does the job. if I had a $4000 camera, I wouldn’t be able to take any better shots with it, because I don’t know how to use one properly.
Solomon Broad’s last blog post..Things I’m Grateful For on Friday 29 February
Oh man… I had tons of links for photographers. Seeing as my main client base is photographers at the moment.
elle’s last blog post..It could be the food
Limericks are hard, yet fun, to write. I had so much fun that one time I wrote a post of a bunch of limericks. Because NaBloPoMo will make a seemingly sane person do crazy things.
Kristabella’s last blog post..DINAO Round 4 - The Political Edition
I love looking at the pictures–alas! I have no talent for taking any. But so happy others share their gift…
Melissa’s last blog post..If I were in Opera, I’d get a Breeches role
ya just couldn’t save the post so that you could take off some other day, huh? Patience young one. The force is strong with this one, but I can not teach her. She has no patience…. ;D

Have a wonderful weekend, REE.
Happy Leap Day.
Jenny’s last blog post..This House - From August 25, 2007
Your blog is so much more worthy of praise than mine. But… thank you. And, please remind me tomorrow that I really need to get off my fat, pregnant ass and switch to Wordpress.
Meghan’s last blog post..The Best Models
Hooray! Another Blog365 rebel who posted today even though we weren’t supposed to! I like your style.
