Moving grass....

Several years ago we were in Paris walking through one of the parks. I spotted a clump of long grass/weeds and really liked the color in the late evening light. I decided to use a slow shutter speed to add to the "look" of the image. As I was photographing it I was reminded of a shot I made in 1986 with my 4 x 5 on the Washington coast. It is perhaps the best reminder of time I have made. Once again a slow shutter speed with waves breaking over a fallen tree. The water falling off the log became a moment in time we never see............in fact, speaking of never see.... I had left my dark cloth on the end of the tree that I photographed .......and I didn't "see" it until about ten years later as I looked at the print.  ( Go Ansel....) I'll try to get the image scanned and let you see it.

Great lookin' Peppers

Love salsa...like peppers and these are going to taste great.........I really like the light.

Sleeping Walrus........

Another day...another look. I see what the problem was with the veggies that didn't want to be photographed. It was all attitude and perspective. I was looking at them in the wrong light....no pun intended. These are not zucchinis, OR cucumbers.....I lost the seed pack and really not sure, but leaning to zucchinis, these are Walrus's disguised as veggies. Case closed....

Maple Leaves...

As promised a couple of days ago the Bonsai Maple leaves. These are actually the Godzilla mutation of leaves. I have neglected to trim the branches of this tree because it was hidden under the wisteria and they just kept growing. Generally the leaves are small and petite but these got away. I promise to do better......

Black & White-Mushrooms in the yard

I had to mow the yard last week as we don't have enough goats to keep the grass in check. As I started, I noticed a mushroom that had sprung up a few days before in the front and decided that it would be a good exercise to check out my metering with the grey card. I picked it and photographed it in morning light the next day. I have a distinct love for the taste of mushrooms and like the look of them when exposed properly. Hope you enjoy the images.

Stay tuned for some Senior Portraits as the booking are starting to roll in. Enjoy !!
