Capturing life

Beth asked us to capture “life” this week — and I have to say ours has been a bit on the crazy side lately. Although a bit blurry, this picture has been the epitome of what we’ve been up to lately. We declutter and pack things up, and Mackenzie finds a way to keep herself occupied. She happened to find a cache of her baby stuff in the attic while we were up there working and she... read more

Watch the lines

I almost didn’t get this posted today because there is so much going on in our lives right now, but I so love You Capture that I went outside and looked for some “lines” anyway. Thankfully, we have tons of them around our... read more

Discovering simplicity

We have had a couple of extremely productive days around here. We’ve built shutters for the guest house (which we’ve been meaning to do for a couple of years), we closed off part of the outdoor patio to make it look nicer (almost something we’ve talked about for a while) and now have a lot of painting to do. We’re in full on downsizing mode — and the YouCapture theme of... read more

Spring is in the air

Spring. It’s by far one of my favorite times of year. This spring we’ve had a strange spring. It went from really warm and sunny to cold (and even freezing over Easter, with almost all of Germany getting a little dusting of snow). Then it was cold again for a few weeks. And now we’ve gone from chilly to summer-like overnight. Not that I’m complaining. I’m definitely a fan of... read more

Let the sun shine down

Sunshine. It’s something I can never seem to get enough of. Perhaps I’m in a perpetual vitamin D withdrawal phase, but here around Frankfurt we just seem to get far more grey days than sunny — or maybe the grey days just stick more in my mind because they are so gloomy. This past weekend, we were in Berlin, and the sun actually was present almost the entire weekend. We did get rained on... read more

Happy Easter

I hope you’ve had a wonderful Easter and were able to spend some time with loved ones and relax. It is a 4-day weekend here in Germany, which we relish every year! You Capture is all about Easter and pastels this week, so I’m sharing some of the yummy goodness that Mack got shot in fun ways, as well as some natural pastel beauty around us right now. Hope you’ve had a wonderful... read more

Staring at white

White. It’s a simple color — or not even a color — that can evoke a lot of emotions, meanings and thoughts just by its appearance. It’s most usually associated with purity and fresh beginnings, and in the Western world it’s the color you’ll most often see the bride in at her wedding. But in medieval Europe, queens wore white when they were in mourning — and in... read more

Black, White or In Between?

“Life is like a good black and white photograph, there’s black, there’s white, and lots of shades in between.” – Karl Heiner I haven’t been doing much editing to black & white lately, perhaps because the days of the winter were so gloomy and grey that I didn’t want to head into that direction. But the last couple of weeks (and especially the past weekend) have... read more

Best Photos of 2011

After a few weeks without YouCapture, I’m really looking forward to being back in the game. Our challenge this week was to put up our top 10 shots of 2011, and I kinda love doing this because I tend to forget how many cool things I’ve shot and the things we’ve done over the past year. Picking my favorite shots is not always easy, so I just sorta grab the first 10 that I really like... read more
