PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 8th

Gerber daisies, a left over image from Melanie’s Birthday Party . . .

gerber daisies of the pink variety

But there is another story here that I just have to share. I was with her when she bought them, when she picked out these pretty pink ones – though you can’t really tell […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 7th

Got a little winded again yesterday!

Happy Birthday to my good friend Melanie.

I took pictures, a few, but mostly of Melanie and her friends. And currently I don’t have permission to publish them to the public – so you aren’t going to see any of them.

But Winnie, her most lovable cat, on the […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 6th

Hmmm …m …. mm, let’s see, where should I go today, what should I photograph? I am thinking sugar and sweets and the most decadent cupcakes you ever wanted to indulge in.

Yup, Crush Cakes of Santa Barbara – you guessed it. I am picking up a dozen of these delectable little […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 5th

Wow, long post yesterday – just to get to the images! I promise today won’t be so long – mainly because my time is running short.

Today’s post is about dragonflies! Walking outside this this morning to get some fresh air, I was almost dive-bombed by this little guy (yes, it could be a gal, […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 4th

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

. . . . . to everyone who reads this !

What other images could I post here except fireworks! First allow me to post a composite of a fireworks display I shot in 2007 on Kauai. It was a small private fireworks display that I was fortunate enough to be […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 3rd

From infrared to bright yellow. It would be nice to put a name with a face, or in this case a name with a flower. I can hear Ralph Clevenger yelling at me now (not that he would ever yell): you need to add the names of these flowers in your metadata.

He’s right of […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 2nd

Just because most of the photographic world has moved to digital capture and therefore digital processing of images, doesn’t mean infrared is gone forever.

Today’s image is a classic example of the effects that can be applied in post-processing to garner the same rendition of an image as one captured by infrared film.

The drama […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 1st

Today’s journey took me to a different street in Santa Barbara – finally, I went somewhere other than Cota Street! Today it was Arlington Avenue. My destination was Art Essentials (located on Victoria Avenue) for paper supplies, but I ended up walking around the corner to Arlington Plaza, Arlington Theater, and onto Arlington Avenue proper.

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 29th

Today is rather a bittersweet day for me . . .

First, it is my oldest son’s (David) Birthday – and this is cause for a great celebration – he made it to 28! Not that I had any serious doubts about this, but his humor and cynicism and opinions are very clearly stated at […]
