Well, at least those flowers, spoken from a workshop attendee today. I was visiting my neighbor the upholster and he mentioned he just donated a lot of fabric to Salvation Army.   What!?   I thought I was going to get all your scrap fabric, hummmm.    A couple of days later a dozen bolt ends were sitting […]

My peony tree is in bloom this week, the flowers are as big as saucers.  They last such a short time it’s a shame.  So once a year I can get this shot. When workshop students ask my advice what to shoot I always mention high key.  I find it so refreshing and so do […]

My mom called me from the local summer flea market trying to explain what she thought was a great find.  I couldn’t really picture it so I got in my car and drove over.  What I found was a dealer selling all kinds of belly dancer belts for $5..  It just seemed like a lot […]

Your light is in the shot!?  Ahh, yes? And your point?  I realized when I had another photographer drop in while I was shooting that the idea of shooting with lights coming into the image was so foreign to his style of shooting.  As a portrait photographer there are formulas that you just don’t break.  […]
