Behind the scenes, Emma and I have been hard at work on a photography book. For the past month I feel like I've constantly had the camera glued to my face. It's a good feeling. This project has brought so much inspiration and perspective! I'm more passionate than ever about capturing little moments in life. All I want to do is snap-snap-snap! Sometimes a big challenge is the best way to bring on big inspiration.
What is your current challenge and what are you inspired about? xo. elsie
I am totally obsessed with trying to make my blog amazing.....it's turning out to be much much harder than I thought but definately enjoyable and rewarding.

I'm working on a 52 Weeks project! I knew I couldn't do a 365 just yet..but wanted to work on my photography. Your blog has inspired me to think about starting my own!

I have decided to complete a years worth of month long projects because I was inspired by this man: http://pinterest.com/pin/224687468879523492/ who shot 1 second of film each day for over a year to document his daily life.
This month I am also shooting 1 second a day. Next month leave a piece of art in public each day.

what settings do you use on your canon?

Wow.... For me I guess it's a challenge. Bring my camera everyday. Sometimes eventho I bring my camera, either I procrastinate or I don't have enough gut to snap a pic..
But really I think I need to take a step, baby step. Everything has a beginning rite. Hopefully I'l get over those obstacles and just do it :)
You're such an inspiration Elsie and Emma

I am currently obsessed with my Dina mini camera, it's been fun using it and taking it along with me everywhere I go. I have decided that through out the year it'll be fun to take pictures of all the adventures the Mr. and I go on this year since its our first year of marriage!

Wow...I guess my current challenge is to finish out this semester on a high note, and get those final papers in!
My inspirations are blogs, local shops, yarn, colors....I have dreams of opening a vintage boutique in my hometown, and I find I am inspired from the environment around me :)

Ah! I want to know more about this book! I can't seem to figure out what it is about! Lol.
I think my current challenge lies in balancing a 40 hour work week with what I am truly passionate about. And in discovering what those passions are exactly. Glad I started young! Xo

I just started a blog and a print and art shop and it's been a challenge to find the right balances and getting my work out there. I'm really passionate about what I do and I want to share it with everyone! It's something that I've been wanting to do for awhile and I finally jumped into it. :)

My current project is to chronicle every day *in some way* be it photography, journaling, blogging...And to make sure everything I do has the date on it so I can look back at everything chronologically.
Right now I'm inspired by soft colors, blurred lines, and the ideal of leading a simple life.

I'm so excited for your book! Let's hope you ladies get to do a book tour and that you come somewhere near me. I'm just graduating from college and now my biggest challenge is focusing on getting my Etsy shop fully stocked and re-branding myself, and creating a successful business. Oh, and planning my wedding that is in a few months. Overwhelming, but so fun :)
