I am always on the lookout for flowers . . . flowers for the note cards that I send to my mother, especially new ones, ones that I haven’t photographed before. Today I found these few stray flowers in a garden along my daily walking path – they have been there during all my walks, […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 21st OJAI’s FLORA Yesterday it was about architecture and the Ojai Valley Museum, today it is about the landscaping. There were so many different varieties of plants and flowers, grasses and trees along my travels that I decided to put them all together in one post. And, of course, I have no idea what the names […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 16th August 11th, 2009 | Category: Everyday Life, Photo of the Day HEROES I met a wonderful woman today, her name is Martha. Martha came to my rescue. Martha is truly my “hero of the day”! One of my errands included a stop at the Michael’s Store in Goleta, CA. I was fortunate enough to park directly in front of the store proper, which has a beautiful […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 11th August 7th, 2009 | Category: Everyday Life, Photo of the Day Not much to say about today’s photo except that I am so glad I bring my camera with me everywhere I go. People must think I am weird though, when I stop the car along the side of the road (safely), get out and photograph flowers or mailboxes or shadows – well, you get the […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 7th August 2nd, 2009 | Category: Cameras and Lenses, Photo of the Day A simple post today. And a single image. These were a bouquet of flowers on the table of a home I went to visit during the day. We were actually testing my new camera, the Canon 5D Mark II. This image was shot at ISO 800, f/4.5 at 1/15th sec. As you can see, even […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 2nd 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 […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 29th July 28th, 2009 | Category: Everyday Life, Photo of the Day 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 […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 28th July 27th, 2009 | Category: Everyday Life, Photo of the Day 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 […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 27th July 24th, 2009 | Category: Everyday Life, Photo of the Day 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 […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 24th July 21st, 2009 | Category: Everyday Life, Photo of the Day 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 […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 21st |
