The Road is Lonely: What’s The Story?
Introspection from the Songwriter By Jennifer Triplett As a survivor of loss, you may always carry a new perspective on life which can be a struggle or fight (“us against the world “). “Streets lights pass me by” is a metaphor for time passing by and souls leaving,...
Music: Making Happiness
Music Feeding Other's Soul Writing songs was really a default for the fact I couldn’t read music or didn’t have the patience to learn. It was a big challenge during my grade school piano lessons. So instead, I would just go over to the piano and doodle and sing, until...

Big Steps in My Music Journey: Join Me
There is nothing more challenging to me than writing about myself as I am getting ready to release my first single “The Road Gets Lonely’ this Fall. I can think up 100 different procrastinating tasks to perform rather than put into words what my narrative is. What...
Making Some Me Time
I started this blog about 14 years ago as an outlet to continue my creative passions after quitting my career to raise my two toddler sons. Now I am sitting back down after re-discovering my passion for songwriting since my adult sons have set sail into the word of...
Photography – Behind the Lens
Grammy Got a Sports Car, Lens to Lens 2
Grammy got her sports car she has been wanting. Sunroof and all. I should say my mom. She is impressed with XM radio, I'm impressed with the USB port. I decided to take the opportunity to take some photos with my new cell phone, which unfortunately is not an iPhone...
Weekly Photo Challenge: Hope
Yesterday was an amazing day here in Maryland. I took the opportunity to walk along the Severn River at a local beach which is part of Sullivan's Cove. There is a live bog here, which is vital to filtering out pollutants. I had no intention of doing a Weekly Photo...
Study of Lights: Abstract to Abstract
This Photographic Art piece was a creation from a photography light study I did last month. I took the image further in post production to create a feeling of movement created by vibration. I just thought I would share it. The nice thing about lights, is that when you...
The Rising Sun Among Shadows
An instant inspiration tonight as I was completely lacking creative thought from a long day of web development and bookkeeping. The hallway ceiling light was making wonderful patterns that I just had to take a photo of to share. Then when I brought it into my photo...
Weekly Photo Challenge: Simple
Simple. It's funny how a simple compositional idea can inspire you to do something creative. I took this photo today. We had our first accumulation of snow/ice. A mere 1/2". The shapes of the ice and the bulb complemented each other even though they come from two...
Metal Art Series, Recycling Photography
Photography gone wrong was recycled in post production. This was a failed attempt at photographing a reflection off of a metal trash can. But I decided to keep it because the metal image might make an interesting design element in a future project. So, I gave it a...
Weekly Photo Challenge: Peaceful, While Photoshop Sleeps.
5:45 a.m. Photoshop was resting from a long night of designing. Facing directly East was a beautiful sunrise that I refused to go outside for. I was warm and snug with coffee in my hand. Not a chance! So I decided to an experiment inside. The effect was created by the...
Photography: Branching Out
This photograph was taken with close up lenses that used on my old faithful Vivitar Camera. Just for fun I thought I'd give it a try. I screwed together two close up lenses and held them over my Digital Camera Lens. The idea was to abstract a tree branch so that it...
Photography of a Geometric Sunrise, Ocean City Maryland
Photography from inside hotel balcony. The balcony looks over the indoor pool and also out over to the ocean. Some may see these bars as an eye sore, however they have a wonderful geometric design to them. Paired with a sunrise and horizon line it makes for an...
Weekly Photo Challenge: Launch, A Boy’s Desire to Fly
and yet again So this week's photo challenge is launch. My son loves leaping and launching. He is a free spirit. I said no, just like the sign in the background. Jumping from a 6 foot snowbank onto snow covered asphalt just confirms this. He landed safely. Often times...
Photography: Water Imitating Art
On the other side is the Kennedy Space Center. The colors made spectacular patterns with the rippling of the water in this photograph. It was so incredible they looked like a painting. These photographs were taken just across the shore of...
PhotoArt: And Now for Something Completely Different
Using Photoshop has allowed me to be able to use photography as a canvas and further create art using color, design, expression and just have some plain old fashion fun. Click on the large size to see all the waves of brilliant neon colors. This took about 4 hours to...
