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 13th, 2009 | Category: Everyday Life, Photo of the Day ASHES to ASHES Today is a tough day for me – it would have been Mark’s 51st birthday . . . I considered not posting any image at all, but then had to force myself to redirect my energy and understand that this photo-of-the-day project is not related to my emotions during the day. It […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 13th 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 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 July 15th, 2009 | Category: Everyday Life, Photo of the Day White Oleander – hey, at least I know what this plant/flower is! Not sure I will be using this one for a card for my mother though – just haven’t figured out whether I like it or not. Have you ever just looked at an image and felt, well, blah ! ? That’s how I […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 15th July 12th, 2009 | Category: Everyday Life, Photo of the Day Today’s image is one of intrigue. In color this image is kind of ho-hum, in Black & White it seems to have an entirely different appeal: the smooth flesh of the cactus, in comparison to the prickly spines, or thorns as it were, seem to mimic the effect of the muted lighting compared to the […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – July 12th |
