Unexpected Storm

I don’t blog every client.  I can’t.  Time being a factor, if I blog everyone but skip one because I’m too busy that week, then somebody will feel slighted.  I don’t twitter for the same reason – time.  Life is short.  (but it is wide)  I want people to discover how I see the world around me.  So in...

Endless Summer

When I was maybe 4 or 5 years old, I remember a poster my older brother (a teenager at the time) had on his wall.  From the film “The Endless Summer: in search of the perfect wave”.  It was the mid 1960′s, my brother would hitchhike from Modesto to Santa Cruz to surf, then hitchhike...

Spring has arrived

“The poetry of earth is never dead.”   – John Keats Spring reveals itself, reminding me that the unexpected is always upon us.  Walking up to my mother’s house I glanced to the right and there they were, the first blooms on the tulip tree.  While others are only just showing leaf buds. But spring is...

Film – Keeping it alive

I am a Renaissance girl….and I’ve been missing film.  There I said it.  I’m pretty sure there are plenty of photographers out there who don’t know what I’m talking about.  Missing film? Maybe because they’ve never used it or don’t know how.  (one of my friends calls them fauxtographers, funny.) Film is not dead, not...

Field Trip

One of the cool things about having kids is that you get to go on field trips. The other day I went with my daughter and about 60 kids to the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park to view the King Tut exhibit.  I knew we wouldn’t be allowed to photograph the artifacts (I...

Perception

One of my favorite things to do is fly in airplanes (next to riding a really big, really fast rollercoaster).  It’s fun to pull away from the earth’s surface and watch things on the ground get smaller, they start to look like little toys.  And what seem like enormous clouds when they’re above us, appear...

Winter

“I prefer winter…when you feel the bone structure of the landscape – the loneliness of it…something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show.”  – Andrew Wyeth There’s a bit of the Andrew Wyeth in me.  He died a year ago in winter.  (my soul was made for winter, although born in summer)  I remember first...

Favorite Shots from 2009

Time to share some of my favorite images from various 2009 weddings, portraits, and personal work.  All art is personal so these are some of my favs for personal reasons.  I don’t try to please the masses…the moment an artist tries to please everyone it means they have nothing to say.  I tend to look up at the sky a lot and was blessed with...

Beautiful Autumn

A few images of my travels, near and far.  The trees were photographed right outside my door, some already stripped bare from those wind storms.  The doorways are definitely not nearby.  Pumpkins are local. The Pumpkin Queen, and her loyal subjects on the right.  (Morticia Addams designed her dress)
