Tweedle and Doodle it is!

I’ve been avoiding anything blogging lately. The questions of “why the heck am I doing this?” haunted me again. Also, I have actually been busy. Easter was followed by a double birthday of the kidlets, visits from family members, and a beginning of an online course I started a while ago. During my silent period in the blog world, I did a lot of thinking and decided that I should continue blogging but change my approach and content a little. So far my blogging content and approach has been . . .

it has beeeeeen . . .

. . .

uhm . . .

wow!   and  die Scheize!

ok, let’s get to what I am trying to say. From now on, I will post photos and some form of a creative writing. After all, that is more appropriate to the title of this blog. My tweedle will be not singing (as the word suggests) but writing something anyone can sing to. ahem. My doodle will not be drawing but posting a picture. Sometimes, I may doddle something and post it too since I do like to draw time permitting.

Creative writing has always been a part of me as far as I remember, really. I can often be really sensitive, and this doesn’t mean soft-hearted or whatever, but rather that I really take in a lot of details from my surroundings. Specific colors, facial expressions, music or tone of voice can bring a lot of changes to my present mood or motivations. This can be an awesome thing because it would make me a good artist, however when I don’t have the time to be artistic, I’m at the mercy of it. With this blog I want to let all that I take in out in the most creative way I can. Perhaps that was the original purpose of Tweedle and Doodle.

Having said all of this stuff, let me post some pictures. I don’t really understand my taste in writing yet (it’s complicated, ok), but I am starting to understand my taste in photography.

(please note that all of these photos are what they call SOOC-straight out of the camera. I am not a pro so many of these are dark or too bright. I could have changed them in the computer to make them look nicer, but I like to stay true to my photo taking skills and to the true light and color that camera captures).

I like a picture that says or describes something. I took this picture while my son was playing with cars. He always organizes them in a certain way which tells me about his mood or how his brain might work. A picture like this can bring a lot of memories and feelings instantly, which is something I enjoy about photography.

Speaking of my son, this is him enjoying one of his favorite things to do – dancing. I really love taking pictures of kids on the move (and dislike telling them to sit and say cheese). It allows me to capture movement (like those blurry spots of the foot and hands), as if the picture is moving and 3D.

Here is another movement shot. I am somewhat obsessed with taking a picture of someone jumping. This is my sister jumping next to the Arc du Triomphe in Paris. Instead of a picture of her smiling with the Arc behind her, I much rather make her jump and capture her flying against the walls of the Arc.

Here is more Paris for you. Imagine this picture overblown onto a canvas and hung in your living room or bedroom. You’ll be always feeling like you are under the Eiffel Tower (in the evening when it is most beautiful) in Paris. Imagining an image overblown and hung in a house is another thing I love to think of when I take some pictures.

I want to finish this gallery with this precious picture of my precious daughter. She is beautiful when she smiles, but she is unforgettable when she expresses a certain joyful feeling. That’s why I love this picture. I only wish that it was a mommy made juice of some kind instead of that Activia drink in her hand. (perhaps I should make mommy-made juice first, though). On the other hand, I should send this to Activia company and tell them they can use it as an add if they help contributing to her future college fund.

– mommy is always thinking.

So, there is my photography interests explained with photos and words.

Do you have a favorite here?

I will appreciate it a lot if you let me know by commenting

Danke!  (I don’t know what’s up with me and dutch today)
