A Photo a Week Challenge-Stripes

Posted on April 24, 2014 by Mama Cormier

….they say that stripes are worn by very organized people but if worn in the wrong direction they can also emphasis areas of your body that you should probably minimize

Here’s my tribute to stripes. For more photos featuring stripes go to Nadia Merrill Photography.

The Daily Post – On Top

Posted on April 20, 2014 by Mama Cormier

….have you ever looked up to see what sits on top of a store front?

This weekend we spent a wonderful two and a half days with my sister and her new husband. Just before leaving today we walked up and down the almost deserted streets (Easter Sunday) of downtown Chatham. My husband pointed out the magnificent architecture above the store fronts and I just had to take a few pictures.

A Word A Week Photograph Challenge – Contrast

Posted on April 2, 2014 by Mama Cormier

….a challenge from Sue Llewellyn

To me contrast is not just complementary colours, side by side, but anything that makes something else stand out. Black and white and neutral colours make bright colours stand out and unusual groupings provide contrast. I love the dachshund surrounded by the bright pink flowers over the black and white stripes.

Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Open Topic

Posted on March 27, 2014 by Mama Cormier

…..open topic? …hmmm!

I don’t often take black and white photos but while in Calgary I set my camera on the black and white setting by mistake. I think this magpie looks great in black and white.
