Amy's Wedding Dress

Amy's Wedding Dress was photographed in Florida over the Memorial Day holiday. She truly was a beautiful bride in every sense. Mr. and Mrs. Kimberly were married in an outdoor wedding. This image is Sepia toned because the available light emulating from the window adds that old fashion feeling.

Titusville Marina

Getting ready for the regular afternoon showers on the east coast of Florida.

Our Little Princess

Here is our little princess Wendy. She loves having her picture taken and does she know how to pose or what. This image was captured at the Titusville Marina in Florida's Central East Coast.

Sunset City

Sunset over the Indian River in Titusville, Florida. We finally found a home on the river can't wait to take sunrise pictures as they are as spectacular as sunsets here in Central Florida.

Florida Babies

Our beautiful grandchildren at the Titusville Marina. Vacation is over and back to Denver tomorrow. We did find a house in Cocoa.

Angel in Waiting

 

This image of a little angel sleeping was taken in the studio and then I painted it in painter IX. I thought it might look better as a black and white but decided to keep the color because of the rose tones in her face.

Dawn's Early Light

The rowing team at Rollins College, sunrise at Kraft Azalea Park in Winter Park, Florida. Will be visiting Florida and the kids at the end of the month. Photographing a garden wedding as well, along with an engagement portrait and a family portrait on the beach. I love photographing on the beach can't wait to try out the techniques Cynthia taught us in Portraiture.

Fourth Place

I attended the 4H Gymkhana in Bailey, Colorado on Saturday. Lots of young kids riding for ribbons and prizes, had a great time. Contestants rode in the barrel, poles, flags and key hole races.The people were wonderful and I captured some great images of the best riding in this area.

Chess of Glass

I photographed this chess set using a large format camera for my studio class. It not only represents opposites of the King and Queen but from frosted and clear glass. The black and white is only coincidence but it adds another opposite attraction. I kept the plane of focus in the very front allowing the depth of field to fall off towards the background and cropped in as tight as I could.

Walking Woods

This image was captured digitally and after making any corrections is Photoshop I then opened the image in Painter and painted this photograph leaving the fence less painted to allow the light to be the focal point. I took this photograph in Austin, Texas.

TEA

The image was captured digital using an alternative darkroom process called VanDyke processing. I set this up in our dining room to represent a quite moment of the day. The brown range of tones completes the mood. This 11 X 14 image is on display at the Turnverein Cultural Center in Denver.

Coming Up Daisies

This digital image of three year old Christopher was taken at the park on Saturday, May 1, 2010. Here Christopher is watering daisies he planted for his mother who LOVES daisies. Howard the duck wasn't crazy about the daisies but really enjoyed the water.

Me and Howard the Duck

This black and white digital image was taken today

at the park with Christopher and his duck Howard.

It was such a tender moment when Christopher gave

Howard a kiss and a hug.

Union Station

This image of Union Station, Denver, Colorado was captured digitally using my 35mmSLR. I used an alternative process called Cyanotype in which I applied the emulsion selectively and then exposed the image to UV light for about 18 minutes. It is on display at the Turnverein Culture Center until May 15, 2010.

Rojas Tulipa

The red tulips photographed in this image were placed on my light table.  I used a bounce card for a little fill light and positioned my camera from above. I was hoping for a little more transparent feel from the tulip but was happy with this result. I love flowers any time of the year and tulips are one of those flowers that arrive in spring for such a short time. Even though I don't usually photograph flowers this was an experiment in lighting.

A DucK Out of Water

This image was taken in Ft. Worth, Texas at the botanical gardens. I painted the water in Corel Painter IX, something I like to do from time to time. I am feeling a little like a duck out of water. We have had an offer on our home-an insulting offer so back to showing it again today.

Monday Morning

Good morning World! Have a Photojournalism (one word) class first thing this morning so have to run but just wanted to say to all the Photojounalist out there you have my respect and admiration because doing this type of photography is the hardest thing I have ever done!

My Very First Post

This is my very first post on my very first blog. Now that I have figured out how things go I have a great fear that I am all alone out here. What I mean is, what if no one thinks my blog is worth blogging? What if no one ever enters my blog, what if I don't ever get one viewer. This would be the worst thing that could ever happen to a blogger - to never get blogged. What if my children or husband never lift a finger to my blog? I'm beginning to think this wasn't such a good idea.Well since I went through all this work to put my work out on the whole world wide web I should at least give it a take, so here it is world, I'M ALL YOURS!
