Silky Waterfalls Melt my Heart

There’s something magical about the silky softness of a waterfall, shot with a slow shutter speed! While it’s very easy to do once you know how and have the right equipment, it seems just like pure magic before you master it! In this blog, you will learn how to capture water flow with a silky…

Open your Heart to the World

One of the most powerful and impactful art pieces I saw at Burning Man last year [2018] was this driftwood robot with an open heart. [“BARE HEART” is its name and it was created by Trevor Twist of Oakland, CA.] Of course the theme last year was “I,Robot”, so there were literally thousands of creative…

The Holidays Blurred By…

Well, I started writing this… and then the “crazy” of the new year happened and before I knew it, the 4th, then the 5th and then the 6th had rolled up…. is it too late? Not relevant? (mind races thru scenarios of Christmas activities for a moment we could have squeezed in one more thing…)…

Capturing Joy at the Speed of Life

Capturing Joy at the Speed of Life

Life goes so fast, that sometimes the details of life are not clear in the process of rushing by to accomplish all we need. On the one hand that can feel sad, and one can mourn the loss of experiencing everything fully. Like on your wedding day—there’s just no way to see it all or…

The Road Ahead

Thinking about the coming year…the road directly at your toes may look bland- just an everyday road (the same one you’ve been on) but if you look up, and see the distant horizon, you can see the bright opportunities, the painted mountains [@ Jamie Steeno] the dramatic sky, [@ Kenneth J Martin] the bushes turning…

Starting off the year, I just want to proclaim Fresh Vision.

FAST LENS=Blurry Backgrounds, Tack-sharp Eyes, Depth-to-die-for….. What does it mean to have a “Fast Lens”?   So many photographers long to shoot images with that super sharp focus on the subject, falling off quickly into softness and glorious glows in the background. I’ve had a few ask me how to get that look. Well, it…

Feature Product: Press Printed Greeting Cards

There are few things as fun as getting a photo Christmas card in the mail from a loved one! Not just a typical card or a luxury card, fully embossed and even 3-D with embellishments or foil, but a card that shows the faces and personality of your loved ones! That seriously surpasses the nicest…

Creativity on Wheels- BT is a Mobile Gallery!

Creativity on Wheels- BT is a Mobile Gallery!

  Well, Bubble Trailer is the apple of my eye, and we have dreams of traveling across- country with her next year. We have been brainstorming on how to decorate her, too, like maybe big circles or even painting bubbles on the fiberglass shell, — but really didn’t want to give the illusion we did…
