As most of you know i am one half of "You See I See" a diptych project i'm taking part in with Tali Schiffer. Generally i just do a round up here once a month (although i'm a little behind) but anyways this weeks i had to share simple because well i love it. I love the tones of the two images next to each other, they compliment each other perfectly (in my opinion). Anyways i was too excited by the diptych not to share.

because they're mine ... & because i can!

So i'm taking a break from photos from Provence (only a short one) to bring you some pictures of my kitties. There is no specific reason for this (although our theme for You See I See this week was pets so it gave me an excuse to photograph them, not that i honestly need one but anyways) just that there haven't been nearly enough pictures of them recently & well because they're mine & because i can! So quick introductions ... cujo is the tabby (she's the silly younger fur ball ooooh pretty shiny over there kittie) & damn-it (yes that's really her name & no the hubby does not get to name the kids) is the black kittie (she's shy, way more athletic & all kinds of chatty with me & the hubby).

So 4 weeks into the "you see i see" diptych project that i am taking part in with the wonderful Tali Schiffer & i figured it was time to share with you what we have (incase you haven't seen the blog). The rules are that we have a list created by a whole host of wonderful people & each week we have a new theme to interpret & photograph, & the photo of course has to be shot within those 7 days (no cheating). The only thing we agreed on photographic wise is that the images have to be square.

sunlight

coffee

dessert

connecting

It's been a wonderful challenge so far & of course we have another 48 weeks to go. So be sure to check out the blog every tuesday for our latest update.

it's the simple thing's in life that make me happy

spending some quality time with my beloved yet recently neglected camera ...

the sun shone at a time when i wasn't working so could actually enjoy it ...

new project with a wonderful photographer & friend ...

taking time out to read (even if it's just 5 minutes in the car) ...

random flowers from the hubby!

you see ... i see ...

Ok ... so here's the thing ... the idea ... & the plan ... i am about to take part in a year long collaboration (yes i said year long ... because i need more things going on in my quiet life) with the wonderfully talented Tali Schiffer (& if you don't believe me about the talented part you should check out her website). Tali lives in Isreal & as we all know i live in not so sunny Germany, so a weekly get together is a little out the question (unless of course you're paying). So thanks to the wonderful world of the internet we have set up a blog for your viewing pleasure.

& you see i see is born ...

The incredible talented Tali (yes there i go mentioning her talent again) did all the hard work ... a name (i contributed the "one world" part) ... a header ... & a blog (i told you she was good) where you will be able to see our photos as the weeks go by. It's possible there may come a day where i even bestow on you some words of wisdom & Lauraism's!

Ok now for the specifics ... one photo every week for a year ... to be posted side by side on a Tuesday (why i hear you ask a Tuesday ... well i have no clue other than Tali chose Tuesday). Now to the fun audience participation part ... you guys ... yes you special special people get to pick the topics. In order to start this 52 week long photographic project we need 52 topic titles for us to work with. So throw on those thinking caps ... be creative ... & please try to avoid big words that my little brain doesn't comprehend.
