This week’s theme for LensProtoGo 52 Week Project is “symmetry”. While walking around downtown Charleston, I looked for symmetry, which in architecture, is seemingly everywhere. I found a great example of symmetry at the historic Laurens-Rutledge house on Broad Street in Charleston, SC. I made it black and white to simplify the lines.
Week 45 – Black & White Portrait
This week’s theme for LensProtoGo’s 52 Week Project was “Black & White Portrait”. I had the awesome opportunity to shoot a wedding with my friend Kim Bistromowitz photo company, Bistro & Co. at Middleton Place here in Charleston. Just a gorgeous old plantation to have a wedding. Simply put, this was one of my favorite shot of the groomsmen. I … Read More
Week 28 – Texture
This week’s LensProtoGo 52 Week Project theme was “texture”. I didn’t have a clear plan for this one, but my husband and I we were walking around downtown Charleston during the Second Sunday (a day where they close King St. to traffic and let people walk in the road and the restaurants become outdoor cafes, definitely check it out if … Read More
Week 27 – Reflections
This week’s theme from LensProtoGo’s 52 Week Project was “Reflections”. I knew immediately that I wanted to shoot the Cooper River Bridge here in Charleston.

This week’s LensProtoGo 52 Week Project theme was “yellow”. My original idea was to shoot this old yellow Chevy truck that one of my neighbors has parked in his driveway…but I don’t know him. So I decided that I would do something cool with lemons. At first I was shooting the lemons, and then I cut a lemon slice and … Read More
Week 22 – Memorial Day
This week’s LensProtoGo 52 Week Project theme was “Memorial Day”. Being new to the Charleston area, I searched for veteran memorials/statues. I ended up finding this pretty large dedicated war memorial spot in Mt. Pleasant’s Waterfront Park. They have a beautiful statue that is very striking, and the folded flag is unfortunately too familiar of theme of military families, and it … Read More
Week 14 – Think Small
Another shot for LensProtoGo’s 52 Week contest. This week’s theme was “Think Small”, and I had the idea instead of taking a pic of something that was actually small, I make something big look small. I have always loved pictures that use a tilt-shift lens to create a miniature effect. So I went to downtown Charleston, got on a parking garage and … Read More
Week 13 – New Beginnings
Another shot for LensProtoGo’s 52 Week contest. I always am trying to think outside of what’s going to be the typical answer to the themes. I figured that there would lots of flowers and baby pictures for the theme, and I thought of new beginnings as more a phrase…like where or how does someone get a new beginning. And that … Read More
