52 Fridays – Week 19 {Favorite Song}

Friday, May 11, 2012

Every Season by Nicole Nordeman (click for you tube video link)

And everything that’s new

Has bravely surfaced

Teaching us to breathe.

And what was frozen through

Is newly purposed

Turning all things green.

So it is with You

And how You make me new

With every season’s change

And so it will be

As you are re-creating me

Summer, autumn, winter, spring.

Film Friday – April

Friday, April 27, 2012

Here are a few of my favorite shots from my latest roll of film.  A quaint organic market and vintage antique shop in downtown McKinney.  Love the light in the bathroom.  These were taken with my Nikon F100 and Fuji 400 Pro H film. Processed and scanned at CVS.

 

 

 

 

Karyn Johnson is next on the circle.  You can check out her experience with film here.
