August Break 2011
It’s getting to be that time again…
Time for me to dust off my cameras and get a bit serious about taking daily photos again. As with last year, I’ve decided to join Susannah Conway in her quest to capture summer’s end with August Break photos. It was an amazing experience last time – filled with beautiful images, wonderful people, and inspiration galore. I am very excited to shift gears from “work-work-work” to “work-work-play a little more”, as I haven’t spent a whole lot of time being artsy-creative over the last few months.
Thing is, I want this August to be just a little different than last… somehow. I’ve been fantasizing about making more “Hipstamatic”-like images for a while now – and I absolutely love the dreamy photos some of my 2010 August Break pals have been making using textures and whatnot. But as I have neither an iPhone nor a Photoshop program, it’s been kind of hard to realize that ambition. Then I stumbled upon on a brief TED clip on Boots and CatEyes’ blog… And immediately after that, I read a post about online photo editing programs like Pixlr.com on Dancing Matilda’s blog… and I knew I had to just take the plunge and make it happen. And so, I will dedicate my next month to posting photos that have been digitally altered in some way – more so than the minor “transparency” or “colour” adjustments that I have been doing on occasion.
Anyhow. I hope you will enjoy my endeavors as much as I will – even the duds that I am sure produce (they’ll be good for a laugh, at least…). 😉 Alright, then. Here we go. Wheee!

Hiya kate,
I’ve come to introduce myself.
Your previous floriferous post is wonderfu.
If they are anything to go by, I will enjoy your August break pictures. I’ve put you on my august list.
Well, hiya!
I look forward to seeing you around – anybody who uses the term “floriferous” is alright by me.
😉 K
I borrowed it 🙂
Well, let’s be having you then: where’s the first mumful post?
Well, I wanted this blog to be about my creative endeavors and the “mothering” part is just kind of incidental to that. It’s a part of who I am and kinda filters into the rest I guess. You could start with the “family” section under categories I suppose – that’d be the closest thing?
