Today’s image is another from my self-portrait-in-the-forest series. This one was taken at The Salmon River last summer on a hike.

I can’t believe September is over and we are already into October! A new month means it’s time for a new postcard swap!
We are exchanging original prints of our own photography. On the 15th I will assign you a person to send a postcard to. You will have until the end of the month to send your card.
If you would like to join us, fill out the form below!
My postcard for September came from X10, fellow pinhole photographer from Spain. It is double exposed and red-scaled. I absolutely love it! So creative and very inspiring. If you would like to see more of X10’s amazing work visit his Flickr.

Way back in March I did a film swap with an IG/Flickr buddy who goes by Malkavred. At the time he lived in Hawaii. We sent each other a roll and I happened to shoot the one he sent me on WPPD – which will account for some of the weird antics. But the effect of weird antics + Hawaiian landscape turned out really cool!
Here are some of my favorites from the swap.

The Cat and the Monkey Film swaps are loads of fun. If you are interested in doing one with me I’d love it! Let me know in the comments!
You can see more of malkavred’s photography on his Flickr page. See more results from our film swap in my Flickr album.

Sooo. I have been teaching myself how to draw over the past few months. I am a big believer in daily practice and decided that I would try to sketch something daily. Then I got the idea to post my daily sketch on a drawing blog. I created a whole new blog for this endeavor and you can view it (and subscribe!) here. The blog is called Gotta Sketch That Itch I love the name of it because that is exactly what I am doing. For some inexplicable reason I have this weird desire to draw – it has always been there. It’s an itch that needs to be scratched. I’m not very good at it, and I think that is part of why it’s important that I do it. And also why it is important to share my drawings with the community. I am forcing myself to take my ego out of this process entirely which is a very hard thing to do. But such a good lesson to learn.
While I am doing this 100 days project I am going to post one of my drawings once a week – one that I like the most from the previous week.
This week’s post is from a black and white photo I took last year. I am going through this fabulous book called, “Urban Watercolor Sketching” by Felix Scheinberger. One of the exercises is learning to paint shadows using India Ink.
This is a very rare instance in which I feel like my drawing came out kind of good, sorta! I had fun with it, anyway.
Here is the original photo:
