We Are Having Weather Take 2

Today is the first day of my new We are Having Weather
partnership with Anne Pehkonen from Finland. This photo was my first post.
If you would like to follow the posting between Anne and myself you can go to http://blog.weatherphotos.org/

The project was originally on Blogger which inspired me to create this blog. It has now changed to Word press which is a little harder to navigate at least with dial up and a slow connection speed however I am sure I will get used to it and also it seems that word press has a few more features than Blogger. So I am learning about all sorts of stuff un-related to landscape photography. This has been a wonderful point of departure for me to expand in so many ways.

Artistic Collaboration

So my first stint on the We are having Weather project is over.
I really enjoyed the experience and through the ups and downs of it have learned a
little more about artistic collaboration, communication, and this multicultural world we live in.
I also realized a few things about myself.

I choose my projects with care and once I commit to a project I am very serious about it.
I want to be able to lighten up a little more with my performance and project expectations.
I did go with the flow of it and it was all good! What I enjoyed most was the actual visual communication between me and my partner Evita. I was intrigued with the responses to my photos and the common links we found visually. This was achieved through color,
composition, weather, and emotion.

I have decided to sign up for another 2 week period which in some ways pushes me
to find new ways to express myself with in the perameters of the project and within my neighborhood...... But I realize also (now) that a great deal depends on the partner
I am working with as to what I will be posting. I have two possible partners right now
one from Finland and one from Turkey.
So we will see how this new conversation will transpire.
Looking forward to it!
