share

If there's one thing we're good at here at Shutter Sisters it's sharing. Sharing thoughts, ideas, stories, encouragement, hopes, dreams, joys and most of all photography.

Today kicks off a brand new month of sharing our pictures in our One Word Project and we thought Share would be the perfect word to inspire us for May. As always, will be collecting your visual interpretations of the word Share in our OWP Flickr Pool (please tag your images with the words May and Share). How you choose to capture the theme is up to you.

We are delighted to welcome HP as our fantabulous sponsor this month and I'll tell you, they will be generously sharing some pretty great stuff with participants all month long so watch for special giveaway posts in May. And remember each day we will feature an image from the pool on our daily One Word Project page so keep you eyes on that.

Oh, but wait! That's not all!

To up the ante a bit, we're making our one word this month work double duty. In light of May being Mother's Day we are going to throw in a sharing challenge as well. We challenge you to MAKE your Mother's Day cards this year. Of course here at Shutter Sisters we most certainly hope to see your photographs gracing these handmade cards! Why? Because sharing our photographs is one of the most rewarding parts of doing what we do as photographers! And because Moms love pictures.

We're even staring a new Flickr pool called Shutter Share. This will be a very specific pool where you can Share with us how you share your pictures. In other words, you will be taking pictures of your pictures.  Your family wall portrait gallery, a set of note cards, frames on a shelf, your Mother's Day card, you name it. Take a photo of it. We want to see what beauty you create and how you share your gifts with the people you love. We'll be looking to feature some of those shots here too and if you're willing to Share some tips and tricks, let us know. Enlighten us! We love to be enlightened. And if your looking for something to spark your creativity, the HP Creative Studio is full great ideas! Check it out.

So, now you've got 2 new projects to shoot this month! We can't wait to see what you Share.

The winners of Light Crafts new Aurora photo editing software will be announced later today!

What a wonderful 'word' for the month of May. One of the ways I 'share' my photos - is in calendars:

wonderful ideas--i can't wait to be a part of them.

just one week ago, my husband and i went to my mom's for dinner. even though my dad has passed almost three years ago, i still feel him all around when i go there because there are so many pictures of him and my mom everywhere. i began to take pictures of all the framed photos while i was there. so this is funny you should mention this today.

can't wait to share in the share!
