TRICIA MCKELLAR
{please visit Tricia McKellar here}
Fine art photographer Tricia McKellar may be inspired by the southern landscape and an endless sense of wanderlust, but you will find much more than that in her extensive portfolio. McKellar is, clearly, not exaggerating when she states she takes her camera almost everywhere.
Perhaps that is why she has had features in Apartment Therapy, Daily Candy\, and Photojojo. We imagine these three enormous blogs were equally enthralled by her selection of still lifes, birds, ubran decay, southern landscapes, through the viewfinder, and botanical series. Thought the subjects are varied, the style is consistent. McKellar combines all of her original photographs with digital painting to produce dreamy images that transport you to places you didn’t know wanted to go, but are so glad you did.
Tricia McKellar is giving away to one winner 2 8×10 images of their choice. In order to win, please answer the following question by Sunday, November 1, 2009.

After 3 years of procrastinating I scheduled my yearly physical, and actually went. I got a flu shot, and now with the sudden flu and H1N1 concern, I’m glad I went.
Last week I went to help at a school harvest festival. I so didn’t want to go, but it ended up being fun and the kids were really cute in their costumes.
I didn’t want to go with a friend to a concert I had never heard of. Turns out my friend had a VIP booth and we had a BLAST!!!
Lunch with my grandkids other Grandma, we have had our differences but I sucked it in and went anyways. Glad I did, I actually had fun and now we are getting along SO much better.
My DH needed to go to Home Depot of all places and asked if I wanted to go. Of course I didn’t…but I ended up going and had so much fun just being with him that day. He took me to lunch and I can’t remember laughing so hard about silly memories!! So I guess this teaches me a lesson that going to Home Depot with my true love is that bad after all!
I hate flying…I am just SO scared to do it! When a trip comes up that involves flying I have the chance to dwell on it, and get myself whipped up into a frenzied bundle of nerves. A couple of weeks ago I had the most amazing opportunity-to fly out to the West Coast for a concert in California. The arrangements were made in hours, giving me no time to think about my fears. It was a weekend trip, with two stops each way and a very busy schedule. Friday and Sunday I’d be in the air…literally. But I went with it and don’t regret it for an instant. I was able to attend a great concert and surrounded by the gorgeous San Francisco bay scenery since we rented a car and drove to the coast in the few short hours we had free Saturday afternoon. While I am still nervous to fly, I am going to let this flight be a reminder that I CAN do it!
Anytime my boyfriend drags me to a horror movie, I protest but I ALWAYS end up loving it, and sitting on the edge of my seat the entire time.
I agreed to speak in church, and soon after deeply regretted accepting the opportunity. The week before I was scheduled to speak I felt sick, wished I had an excuse to back down, and felt incapable of delivering anything worth listening to. But as soon as I stepped down from my presentation I felt light, confident and very proud of myself for doing something that was really, really hard for me. After all the hard work I had put into my talk, it was actually very enjoyable to present.
