about me
Welcome to my blog, my name is Lindsey aka modchik. A former Operations Manager with a strong desire to CREATE. In 2009 I decided my 9-5 job wasn't working for me (or my two kids). I traded my calculator for a camera and began building a blog. By the end of 2010 modchik-photography happened. I have a penchant for good recipes, strong coffee, iPhoneography, mid-century modernism, fashion trends, astrology and Pinterest. I get to talk about all of that here. I promise you'll never be bored.

52 Weeks of Photo Inspiration
Today begins a whole new photo journey for me with the beginning of the 52-week ‘photo centric community’ called, Picture Inspiration from Big Picture Classes.

I can’t even begin to tell you how thrilled I am to be a part of this series spearheaded by Tracey Clark (shuttersisters). I started last year with Big Picture Summer and had a somewhat short lived stint on Big Picture Fall but when the Holiday … Continue reading
Picture The Holidays – a week in photos
Today marks the end of Week One of my online photo class. This group (by far) has THE most talent I have ever seen in a photo class. I am inspired daily by everyone’s photos. The class is filled with familiar faces of classes passed along with newbies (who are for the most part amazingly talented). I drool over their snow photos they are so lovely. If you haven’t heard of these classes before go take a look at bigpictureclasses.com its a collaborative effort … Continue reading
Big Picture Fall – Day 1

So I vow to try my best-est as my 4 yr old would say, to post a photo every day from my Big Picture Fall Class. I know some of you must think I need another deadline like … Continue reading

Picture Summer – Day 2
f/1.8 • 1/250 • ISO 160 • Lens: 50mm I went out and shot one thing and uploaded and tweaked in Lr and then realized I did not quite follow the rules of the prompt for that day ….um do-over. Thankfully this shot worked and it happened only because I grabbed these 2 out of the fridge and forgot to bring them inside (sweating bottles) but the colors played off the succulents right behind them so well… I snapped a few and loved … Continue reading
