PHOTO OF THE DAY – JULY 31st

Another month is done. Today I will add all of the images from July into one gallery and add it to the ‘Photo of the Day’ tab at the top of this blog.

Another month is done and I am still working on this project! That’s a WOO HOO for sure!

Sometimes I don’t travel […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 30th

Today’s journey finds me at a little strip shopping plaza off of Hollister Avenue, called Magnolia Plaza. I guess Ralph’s is the largest venue in the Plaza and there are a handful of smaller shops such as Supercuts there as well. What made me pull into the plaza is anyone’s guess, maybe because I had […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 29th

Can you believe this month is almost over? And what’s more, more than half of 2009 is behind us.

Today’s image is one I just printed and wrote to my mother (then forgot to add photos of my eldest son after I told her I was adding them!)

a beautiful rose for my […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 28th

I have noticed a trend emerging in my posts for this month with respect to this ‘photo of the day’ project – many of them contain more than one photo! Most contain multiple images. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I am not sure it is either; however, the whole idea of […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 27th

For most of the morning I have been editing wedding images from Bridgett & Ricky’s wedding in West Covina. It was 90˚ in the shade when I arrived there at 3:00 in the afternoon ! Hotter than I have seen it in Santa Barbara in at least 4 months – the Jesusita Fires caused a […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 26th

Today I had the occasion to go to the Goleta Beach State Park. It was all of a 20 minute visit, if that, and it was sandwiched in between two appointments in Goleta. Not that Goleta is so far away (maybe 10 miles max), I just don’t travel north out of Santa Barbara very often.

PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 24th

Today I get my Canon 5d back from Mack Camera and Video Repair in New Jersey – WOO HOO! I don’t think you can imagine how ecstatic that is making me! It’s like getting your baby back safely in your arms!

Meanwhile, today’s journey takes me to get my haircut in Ventura – that’s a […]

IN MEMORY OF . . . MARK D. LUNDGREN

This is a tough post for me to write today. It is the 6 year anniversary of my husbands death. So today, it is about him.

And can you believe I don’t have every single picture I have ever taken of him scanned and neatly organized in one digitally archived file? This should have been […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – JULY 22nd

My oldest son left today for Kauai, Hawaii. He is headed back for his 10 year high school reunion. That’s when you know you are not getting younger!

David doesn’t do ‘formal’ and really, Kauai doesn’t do formal – unless it’s your wedding day or prom night. One of the evening functions however, is ‘black […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 21st

I can hear Ralph Clevenger now – ” . . . never photograph your subject with a fully black background,” “move your point of view to photograph it with something in the background – it adds interest and doesn’t make the subject appear to be floating.”

Do I apologize? Or do I say this was […]
