Meditation and thought for the week

I created this from a couple of my photographs taken last August (2007) out on a sunny day in my late summer garden. I played with type, style of a zinnia and cloud patterns to create a somewhat abstract, colorful, contemporary collage aimed more at women and their general need to find time to nurture themselves. It's kind of like laying on your back in the field or in a park with open grass, staring at the clouds -- dreaming of fields of flowers and all good things in life.

Take a moment to enjoy the beauty of nature around you.

Spring has Sprung

This afternoon, I took a brief break between burning CD's for a job just outside my front door and took a few shots of the newly opened Star of Bethlehem (white flowers in a cluster) and the different varieties of Crocus. Always one of the first signs of Spring!

Spring is on the horizon

It's A BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!

Girls, Girls, Girls......

Old Fashioned Fun

This evening's activities included a party of seven year old girls and a sleep-over beach party. I took Anna over to Zada's for the big party. The girls put their suits on even though it was sleeting and blowing outside. They put their beach towels and put them on the beds and pretended they were at the beach and had lots of fun jumping around for a while.

Earlier today, on a work-related topic.... I was also shooting pictures!

A Professional Portrait

Today at an undisclosed location, I attempted to shoot some portraits of a friend and colleague of mine she wanted to use for her new business materials. I took out the camera and got one shot of her before we were told "no photos allowed," so we ended up packing up - but the one shot did turn out to be good. This is a shot that will be used in her website and possibly other marketing materials.
