2010.5.31 I’m not good at holiday photos. I should use the day for a theme, but I never do. So, today’s is another example of me laying on the ground after working out at the gym next to my car. This is a picture of the curb, with some flowers and a tree. But in…
2010.5.30 One more from the Getty. I’ve always wanted a get a photo of the “planters”, but I’ve never figured a good angle. I tried this one yesterday. These always stop people who see them for the first time. Unexpected materials holding flowers.
2010.5.29 I spent the morning yesterday at the Getty Center here in LA. One of my favorite places. Perfect location, great gardens, and lots and lots of art. What could be better. This is an outdoor portrait of Emily, my daughter in law. Most of the Getty is built with very white granite so if…
2010.5.28 I know, I fell back to flowers quickly. Don’t judge me. It is Friday night, lots to do, my kid is coming to town . . . so I ended up shooting my driveway again. But it is a very nice driveway. I love flowers just as they are breaking out of they buds….
2010.5.27 Skateboard wheels are always so cool. This one is shot with a Lensbaby. I got in the lensbaby mood again and broke it our recently. I like using the macro kit with it better then shooting straight. Big weekend coming up and I have some portraits to shoot. So I will try to blog…
2010.5.26 (Street Fighting) I’ve been subtly, and not so subtly, accused of becoming a “flower guy” with my recent shots. So, I was thinking what is very un-flowerish?? Street fights! Coincidentally I came across one tonight. Don’t worry, no one was harmed. This was just a couple of high school wrestlers practicing in the wrong…
2010.5.25 (Ring Pop) Ring pops are yummy. Not much to say tonight with this one. Even the post processing was very simple. Went to black and white emphasizing the reds and yellows to give it a nice smooth, high key, child’s face. The put the two images together. That is all really.
2010.5.24 If you don’t look closely, your driveway may just be your driveway. But if you get down on your hands and knees, or occasionally lay down like I did, you will see it is a wild kingdom. Just because you are not looking, doesn’t mean that all the beauty around does not exist. Take…
2010.5.23 (Rose’s Behind) I’ve been working on a slide show/video for my parents 50th wedding anniversary so not much time to shot this weekend. That being said, I’m not going to try to make up for yesterday’s missing photo. I will make that up at some point in the future. For now, just ponder if…
2010.5.21 This is another one of the around the office series. The parking garage where I park was pretty empty Friday night as I was leaving. That must mean I was the hardest working in the complex. The post processing of this photo was mostly done with Topaz detail. There are some nice effects that…
2010.5.20 The college grad. Yep, my wife took her first step to the rest of her graduate type life. She will be moving on for further study at one of the UC system schools soon. So more classes to come. Isn’t that the story of life??
2010.5.19 I’m cheating just a little big tonight. I’m not really breaking my own rules, but for those of you doing the formal 365 you may think so. My own rules for this is I shot everyday, I process everyday, and I post everyday. I try to have all of those match up, but…
