That is truly remarkable! I've heard of people associating words with colors before, and it makes sense to me in a way. Thinking like a speech pathologist, might colors be a way in to get him to expand

You briefly mentioned non-verbal autism, and you got really close for what it seems to be like for my son. His vocabulary is HUGE, but his ability to express himself by stringing those words together is

I just read your thoughts on Autism and I found it to be a very interesting point of view. Organizing your posts by topic was a great idea and an efficient way to help us get to know you a little better.

I know that lake well! I spent my Summers there as a kid, learned how to drive a boat there, and I know exactly where you are sitting in that last photo. lol Weird (but cool) to see a little of my childhood

You're very welcome! Yes, that's where you get into bouncing light, which I could make into a theme all on it's own, easily. Let's pretend that, when you took the photo of Sasha that won the challenge,

I'm happy you went out and gave it a try, and I'm delighted you had fun with it! Golden hour truly is one of my favorite lighting situations in which to photograph. The Golden Hour theme will repeat in

I agree with you! Even some of my local friends who joined thinking they didn't have anything to offer Steemit have made friends and earned SBD through meme contests and the like. If there hadn't been

I notice! I'm one of those "every little bit helps" kind of people, and I think contests are a great motivation for users to post original content when the proverbial creative well is running

Thank you, @lena1! I plan to add more themes and repeat popular themes after week 4, so hopefully this will be a great place for amateur photographers to learn and grow! Photography skill is like a muscle

I love simple black and white. I feel like it helps us focus on the subject of a photo without distractions. Very well done! The image of the man working in front of the square windows is my favorite.

This is beautiful! I'm a Canon user, but I've always loved the richness in Fujifilm images. Great shot! Thanks for entering the #chasethelight challenge.

Thanks, @joshuakhoo! I captured that imaged during a wedding last fall near the Missouri/Oklahoma boarder. I hope you will consider joining the #chasethelight challenge. :)

This is wonderful, @beautifulbullies! Thank you for entering the #chasethelight challenge. Sasha is beautiful!!

But it seems like you are mastering the art of drawing by hand, which I could never do. Even my stick figures need help! lol The best tip I have for you: if you are using a camera with manual capabilities,

Thanks, @bluefinstudios! I joined yesterday. Still figuring out the flow. :)

Nice, sharp focus. I've never shot with a Tamron lens. I've heard it's noisy. Is that true? Do you photograph mostly birds?

I LOVE watching the restoration of old houses! There is a house that has been in our family for almost 100 years that sits empty right now. I'm hoping to save the money to turn it into a bed and breakfast.
