when i took this - i had no idea the reflection would come out since the light level was so low. this wasn't a bad test of my digital camera setting knowledge. people must have thought i was crazy - but i am used to that!

jpeg magazine has a new challenge!


jpeg magazine (jpegmag.com) has a new challenge . . . . couples on their sofa. so my friend said - hey, you have a photo or 2 for this . . . and you know what, she was right. i think i have a very good one too! what do you think?

New Show!

well, you'll never guess where my next show is . . . . New York City! can you imagine?!??! One of my painting with light pieces was selected by the show's curator, Karen Florek, to be part of the "Women Shooting Women: Contemporary Interpretations of Formal Portraiture" show. The show will be up at the Roger Smith Hotel from April 4 until June 29. If you are in the NYC area, stop by!

this one is from last year in san francisco at the presidio in the rain. this lonely chair haunted me. for some reason it made me think of compton unified . . . i did some work there in a fire damaged building and the haunting nature of the abandoned lockers, gym equipment . . . it had the same sense of loneliness.

i really like this silhouette shot - the very last shot of the day. there were so many peacocks at the arboretum, they were calling out to each other in that melancholy way that they do but none were showing off their beautiful feathers.

capturing beauty as it walks away


is there anything more beautiful than a peacock tail . . .
