Community Love

I´m late for Valentine´s day, but since there is no such a thing as too late for love, I decided to post what´s been on my mind lately: community love.

Everyday we all support and inspire each other by sharing, commenting and following each other´s work. We are lucky to be surrounded by wonderful teachers, fabulous classes, prompts, discussion groups, and the inspiration we are sharing is not only bringing in the fun, but it is also allowing us to advance in our craft with confidence and grace. It´s a beautiful movement actually, because the world can be so competitive and intimidating at times, whereas here, we have each other to lean on and prove that we are better when we stick together.

So I want to invite you to do something different today. Instead of posting an image of your own, why don´t you kick back and send some link love instead?! Share a link of an image shot by a sister who you admire and tell us why her body of work or a particular image of hers inspires you.

I´ll go first 🙂 All the ladies featured above have so much talent! I love how they capture color, beautiful light and a sense of story (and/or expressiveness) in their images.

Now it´s your turn! Share the love ~

  4. I love this idea! There are so many talented women out there who I bow down to.

    I could go on & on because there are so many photographers I admire (read: drool over) but I will stop there for now. 🙂

  5. my two most recent blogger friends {who were blog friends before i met them}, stacey and tracey, are the two people who have been inspiring me most lately. they are both wonderful photographers is my eyes, and they both inspire me so much with there photos and their writing… and both as moms, they make me look so forward to being a mom myself, very soon.

    here is a tracey post that moved me so much recently…

  7. Jamie {74} has been my muse lately. Her excursions into film and her mastery of composition, along with her amazing digital images, really rock my world and inspire me. This is the photo that really started it all, and, though I'd been shooting film, really got me way more (read: obsessively) into film, which is really what I'm most excited about lately:

    But the contacts I keep are the ones who truly inspire me. Thanks to all of them, really!

  9. I love all of your photos. They're always so bright, and convey a lot of emotion, even if there are no people in it. You should check out some of mine on http://itsaphotonation.blogspot.com/ I just started and only have a few pictures up, but I think they're decent at least. Also, if you could comment and leave some tips for me, that would be fantastic. Thanks

  10. i love these ladies http://simplybloomphotography.com – their shots are so full of light, vintage beauty and love that i can go on for ages watching shots on their blog
    i also have discovered recently this talented girl through flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/oliviabellphotography/ – love her whimsical touch on her photos
    and i love your pictures from your book – i'm reading it now and love all the amazing photos i can find there – thanks for being the ongoing inspiration and showing that photography is so much more about feelings and capturing everyday beauty than technique and equipment 😉
    have a great weekend

  18. What a wonderful idea! Something like the Sundays SS used to have.

    It's going to be hard to narrow down just to a few but the ones who immediately jump out at me are:

    Darlene Terry and her amazing ability to capture these beautiful beasts and her unique creativity:

    and definitely Jenny because of her eye for minute detail and more:

    and prairiegirl, pretty much everything she posts:

    and Martha's photos because of images like these (and her ability to pair nearly everything with such apt quotes too):

    Okay, I'll stop now … see, too many who inspire!
