#Repost @instagram ・・・ Weekend Hashtag Project: #WHPsayhitothewater The goal this weekend is to make photos that creatively capture your own reflection in the water. Our inspiration for the challenge comes from Brazilian photographer César Ovalle (@cesinha), who created the #sayhitothewater hashtag. Some tips to get you started: Make sure to look beyond the puddle and get creative about where you might find interesting reflections. If you are in a dry area, fountains, glass and swimming pools can all reveal natural mirrors. Greetings come in many shapes and forms. Be bold when it comes to striking a pose with your hands, legs and feet. “Doing something unconventional is always worth a try,” suggests César. Focus on reflections that have interesting backgrounds but are not too polluted. Make sure the surface beneath the water is clean. If it’s too dirty, it can damage the end result. Pay attention to your style. “Wear interesting shoes,” encourages César. PROJECT RULES: Please add the #WHPsayhitothewater hashtag only to photos taken over this weekend and only submit your own photographs to the project. Any tagged image taken over the weekend is eligible to be featured Monday morning. For more examples and inspiration, check out blog.instagram.com. Featured photo by @gabriel.palermo

I'm not your typical forty-something year old. I am a full time photographer/journalist and divide my time between the NYC/Atlanta offices of the magazine that gave me my start in this business, and the boutique photography studio I own in my home state of Tennessee. I embrace my inner bibliophile by dabbling in books as a freelance literary editor for a publishing house. When I'm not at one job or the other, I like to volunteer with local charities and hopefully starting this year, I'll also be spending a few weeks traveling abroad with an NGO. Other things of note about me: I've been an Army widow for over 10 years. I have OCD and ADD to go w/ the Eidetic memory, Irish temper and southern drawl. I'm an self-admitted adrenaline junkie with a perpetual case of wanderlust and a few tattoos. White chocolate is my weakness. Shoes are my obsession. Traveling is my passion.
