Winter Stock Contest

Use one of my selected stock photos in a photo-manipulation and enter it into my contest!

Portraits

A glimpse into portraiture, something that really inspires me. I love to try and capture the spirit of the person who is posing for me. I really like candid photos but I'm getting interested in posed shots as well.

December 24, 09 Christmas Eve




:new: It's Christmas Eve, and my kids are over at my sister-in-law's which gave me time to finish wrapping the presents. I really hope they like the presents, I kinda went all out this year. My oldest son is getting a lot of Doctor Who stuff - even found a replica of the Tardis key on ebay that I bought him, and a sonic screwdriver. Also bought him a cool video/camera. He and his friends are really into the whole youtube thing so this should help. Hudson got a turtle, I gave it to him early though. Some stuff for the DS that his aunt's giving him. Got my dad a bunch of various coffees. Got my sister-in-law a bevy of various books among some other things. My husband was easy, I'm helping him pay his car taxes. Though he apparently bought me something in a little box and I have no clue what it is! I don't think it's jewelry...hmm.

I've got to make sausage balls tomorrow and a carrot cake. My sister-in-law is an awesome cook, we are having ham with all the trimmings on Christmas day. My parents and brother are coming over as well. Now tonight the tradition is to have finger foods and open presents, this was my husband's family tradition that was brought into the marriage. So we'll have sandwich stuff, cookies, summer sausage and cheese and crackers and lots of shrimp, and dips and chips and stuff for christmas eve dinner.

What are your Christmas/Yule traditions?

:new: Hey, don't forget about my new contest! See below for info.

Welcome to Druideye Photography, the home of Pamela Borawski's art. Please browse and comment if you wish. I love feedback, even a well meaning critique. I strive to improve, if you can help I will appreciate it.



I am a 37 year old married mother of two energetic sons. I live in South Carolina, and I love it here. My trip overseas to Cyprus, Egypt and Israel in 1994 sparked my interest in photography and it has gone from there. I started out very dedicated to film and some of my gallery is film, but I work primarily in digital these days, with my Rebel XSi. I feel my work has improved with digital mainly because scanned in film just doesn't have the look I like most. I've gotten an interest in lomography and vintage film look though and that's given me new hope for my old film

Photography is a huge love of mine. I don't think my work is what most people enjoy here on DA, but that's ok. I put up what I like and what I'm proud of, I don't put up work to please others BUT if my art makes someone smile or think, I am happy.

I will never tell you it's a good capture, just not my personal style. I +fav and run on many occasions, I just don't always have something to say everyone else hasn't already said. I dislike arrogance in artists - no matter their age. I don't think that any art is "bad", it may just not be what you prefer. I am kind-hearted and open-minded. If you need help with anything, even something personal, feel free to come to me and I will do what I can to encourage you.

I have overcome a lot in my life, and am proud of where I stand in this world. I am disabled, but I try not to let that rule my life. I know the pain of losing someone you love, and I know the feeling of emptiness in the soul. I live with the constant pain of fibromyalgia, but it does not make me who I am. I have gone through DBT counseling and it changed my life. I have finally found the right meds to support good mental health. I support NAMI, TWLOHA, cancer research, CFIDS research and many other organizations. I have recently taking over the admintration of #ArtForTheEscape which is for those of us who use art to escape from mental illness or pain.

I do believe in God, but I do not believe you can have a personal day-to-day relationship. I pray sometimes, even though I am ambiguous on whether it actually does anything. If I'm in a bind, I do find myself asking for prayer. I meditate and try to center my life, and practice mindfulness. I find God not in a building of brick and mortar, but in the canopy of nature, that is where God speaks to me. Nature is not my god, but nature is part of God. I do not consider myself pagan since I am monotheistic, but I have many pagan friends. I may not believe the same as you but I will respect your beliefs.

I am here to not only share my art with the world, but to share other's work as well. I love featuring work from others in my journals and in news features. I also love donating to contests, so hit me up if you're hosting one and I might just offer something.
