Penning Photography Daily

I had a different photo of Christina up on Flickr yesterday. I wasn’t satisfied. I worked with this photo and think it is a much better representation of Christina’s beauty.

It’s amazing how much a different day or hour, or attitude has on my vision.

Last night, I was pushing myself to finish a set of photos and get them all uploaded to Flickr before I allowed myself to rest in the arms of Morpheus (sleep!). My work suffered because of that pushing.

Tonight I saw something that I was not seeing last night and my work benefited from the second glance. I was able to pull more out of a raw image than I could have while tired.

Christina brings the most marvelous flute tones out of her instrument (she called it her baby last night!). I am so grateful that she shares this talent with our church community. She also speaks fluent German and once was about to teach it in High School. These days, she is the Majordomo (or manager, not sure of her title) of a Symphony Orchestra, making sure that everything is where it needs to be. An exhausting job, I’m sure.

Her smile lights up the room as much as her precious flute ability.
