Stephanie's Vision Photographs of pretty things: flowers, colorful items from everyday life, and landscapes. Mostly in the Triangle.

Calendars, notecards, and ‪ ‬ at my Etsy http://stephaniesvision.etsy.com I like to photograph pretty things: flowers, colorful items from everyday life, and landscapes. I snap pictures so I can see things properly: both my near and far vision are weak, so I use the camera to help me see what my eyes cannot. Bright colors call to me wherever they are: vegetables at the Farmer's Ma

rket, little flowers covered in dew, or a pile of fall leaves. Clouds and blue sky also appeal to me: I have held my iPhone out of a moving car in South Dakota to capture a lovely set of clouds, and I've knelt down in the Carolina Inn parking lot to capture a Carolina blue sky. Stephanie's Vision is about colorful images of ordinary things, with a few landscapes and extraordinary things mixed in.

I spent a few days at on a photo retreat with Kurt Budliger and Ben Williamson last October … processed a bunch of photos, and then moved on to other adventures. Yesterday I had the time to sit down with the photos I’d marked as good but didn’t quite get to. WHOA, so happy. Photography is the gift that keeps on giving!
