It’s officially fall now. I’m ready for cool cloud cover, quiet music, and cozy grey days.

30 Day Photo Challenge – Day 4 – Clouds

June 4, 2011March 22, 2014 Gina @ Oaxacaborn

This was an interesting frame to capture, because the Florida afternoon sunlight is ridiculously bright today. I couldn’t see anything on my digital screen, and facing into the sun meant I couldn’t see anything through the viewfinder, either. I took a series of blind shots — some using a polarizing lens filter and some without. I ended up selecting this one, shot with the polarizing filter, which I really love. It has an almost film-like feel to it, don’t you think? Ah, the days of analog. I think I’d like to start shooting with film again.

I'm Gina Munsey, a Jesus-lover and a sojourner; a weaver of words, anchored in hope. I am Mexico-born, Eastern Europe-raised missionary kid who ended up being a Californian by way of Florida outside of Nashville, Tennessee -- but we landed here before The Great Migration. I live my days full of coffee and adventures while my 12-year-old learns Mandarin Chinese and Greek, my 3-year-old uses all the markers, and my artist-husband creates worlds from pixels and light. I'm an editor, a magazine contributor, and a writer who has only completed four chapters of my languishing manuscript. On any given day, you can find me in the middle of [home]school surrounded by stacks and stacks of books. Oh, and the name of this blog? Oaxaca -- wuh-HA-kuh -- is in Southern Mexico, where I was born! (See full bio).
