PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 12th

Today was a little different. I was shooting Luke and Brittany’s wedding in LA and figured I would post an image from their wedding, or not post at all because of writing about them. But at the end of the day, while waiting for the images from my cards to download onto Art’s computer, I […]

FIRE IN YOUR EYES – Part 2

The first part of the evenings events were primarily in wait for darkness to fall – you can’t get good intense fire light with the sun still above the horizon.

Christy Carr of Calumet, and hostess of this event had lined up a wonderful array of performers: several models in Renaissance costumes, jugglers […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 11th

Sometimes you just have to look up!

And sometimes you have to move around a bit to keep the sun from flaring everything in your image!

And sometimes you have to wonder what made you look up in the first place! I think it is like stopping and smelling the roses – sometimes, you just […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 9th

Thought I might break the pattern of flowers and rain. Today it is Easter in June!

Seriously, I stumbled along this little egg on the side of a driveway as I was walking down Garden Street – and couldn’t resist the temptation to photograph it – good thing it wasn’t real and just forgotten!

TODAY’S […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 8th

More rain. More flowers. More purple. More photos from my neighbors front yard. Nuff said.

okay, a little bit more said . . . I never expected to stop the rain in the first image! When I first downloaded these images, I panicked! Thought I had some major dust on my sensor – that is […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 7th

I am outdoors photographing again – yes with the same umbrella! And no, this is not the same flower that I photographed earlier last week – this one is in my neighbors front yard!

I actually went out to photograph reflections on the road – it didn’t work very well – not like I had […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 6th

‘Lots of Pots’ – that is what I am calling this image – or should it be ‘Celebrate Summer’?

This house is located on Anacapa Street in downtown Santa Barbara. The pots of flowers caught my attention, though I don’t think this image does them justice. It just makes me think of having a mini […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 5th

Today’s image comes from Art from Scrap on the corner of Garden and Cota Streets in downtown Santa Barbara. I seem to be on Cota Street a lot, don’t I? But Cota Street is home to Specialty Color Services and Calumet Photographic, Inc. They are both my second homes.

Art From Scrap’s Reuse store keeps […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 4th

Sometimes I get carried away with fences and fence posts! This one just seemed to call out my name.

I liked the way the dead vines were tightly wrapped around the post itself and the new growth was poking its way over and through the bottom rail. H m m m, that’s not poison oak, […]
