PHOTO OF THE DAY – September 1st

COLLECTIONS: LAMPPOSTS

There are times when I think my head is in the clouds!

I have this tendency to look up – a lot! Not only as part of my outlook on life, but when I photograph as well. Why always look straight ahead when there is so much to see above? Of course, for […]

I finally heard from Mack Camera and Video Repair – my Canon 5D is on the way home once again, and should be in my hands by Friday of this week – WOO HOO ! ! !

Meanwhile, I had to rent one for Donna and Alex’s wedding on Saturday. […]

CLOUDS at SUNSET

At the beginning of this month, I shared some photos with you that chronicled the formation of clouds over the course of one very special day (August 3rd’s post). Santa Barbara does not get a lot of clouds during any given day, so it is a rare thing to observe.

Today was […]

MORE LENSBABY GOODNESS

Just a quick post today . . . but here I am back at Calumet Photographic, Inc. of Santa Barbara.

Today’s event? A travelite demo with models – and a free t-shirt, to boot! And I have no images to show – at least not for the demo portion of the day.

LENSBABY FUN

Sometimes you just have to mix pleasure with business!

I attended a Canon Owners Workshop at Calumet Photographic of Santa Barbara today – more to learn about calibrating my lenses to my cameras. A Canon rep was on hand to walk us through this process and answer any and all questions we may […]

RENAUD’S PATISSERIE & BISTRO

What a delightful surprise I had today when a meeting with Art Suwansang of Wedding 64 found us at a small bistro in Santa Barbara. The delight was not with whom I was meeting (sorry Art), the delight came in our meeting location . . . . Renaud’s Patisserie & Bistro […]

THE GETTY CENTER

What a great day! And I hate to drive in LA traffic!

But today’s mission was twofold and pleasant: one to deliver print ready and web ready jpegs of the dance studio open house I shot on Saturday; and two, to explore the Getty Center on my way home.

The first mission […]

GROCERY SHOPPING

There are not many times I choose to travel all the way to the corner of Los Positas and State Streets to do my grocery shopping, after all it’s a full 3 miles away from my house!

But at this corner is a newly renovated strip mall/shopping plaza, Loreto Plaza, that is home […]

ANNIVERSARIES

Hmmmmm . . . today I would have been married 29 years!

What can I say that could compare, except that the love Mark and I shared was stronger the day he died than the day we were married! and that I am reminded of a saying that my son David found shortly after […]

OPEN HOUSE at DANCE STUDIO NO. 1 in LOS ANGELES

I love to photograph dancers! There is a magic inside of them that speaks to my heart. Call it grace, call it balance, call it focus, call it what you may . . . to me it is a special characteristic that I can’t quite […]
