Santa Fe In-Camera Double Exposure

What fun, creating photo art compositions out of Santa Fe's sculptures, botanicals, rocks, walls, metal plates and wrought iron bars.  Doing double exposure in camera, you never know what you're going to get!

In Love With Double Exposure - Around the Neighborhood

High Noon Flowers

Yesterday I drove around and shot pictures in the late afternoon, seeking that special glow of the Golden Hour.  I didn't love anything I took.  So, today, at most photographers least favorite time of day, I took off again on foot taking shots in the neighborhood at high noon.  And, I captured a lot of pictures I like.  I guess I just prefer the glaring colors that are boldest and brightest when the California sun is high up in the sky.

Sometimes I just Love Weeds

Mothers Day Family Art Project

Mother's day was celebrated a day early in Walnut Creek with some group art
Top:  Redo of 4 square drawing, done by three sisters and one (nearly) 97 year old mother
Middle:  Original 4 square drawing; done with each of 3 sisters having a square and the mother filling in wherever (blue person, pink accents, etc.)
Bottom:  Diptych (ie art done in two pieces, no hinge) joined together here, of a green-headed bird, perhaps in flames?  The result of 4 sisters working together in harmony.

Shooting Into the Sun
