MOVING!

Just a quick note to say my blog is moving! New address:

Come by and see me there. I've made some changes which should be fun!

Lightbox fun

The other day I was playing around with photographing random household objects in my lightbox. This is one of my favorites! One of Adam's black and white espresso cups. I framed it so the white interior would merge with the white of the box.

Photo of the Week

Well, it's not Friday, but we're close. In honor of valentines day I've chosen this picture taken in our backyard last summer. Have a Happy Valentines Day!

Tulip Photo Shoot

A few days ago I was admiring the form of a dying tulip from Jasmine's birthday bouquet. It had such a beautiful simplicity of form that I decided I had to take pictures of it. I had so much fun that I had to force myself to stop b/c I was taking the same pictures over again! After playing around with them a bit (I've been experimenting with custom blends for black and white) here are a few samples.

Full color beauty.

Photo of the Week

I have decided to make Friday "Photo of the Week" day. Heather and I were taking pictures of the birds frolicking in the sunshine the other day and I particularly liked this cardinal.
So, here is this week's photo!

Pop Art

Today I thought I'd post my newest art form. I've been experimenting with heavy editing of my photos to transform them into a totally different type of art. Here are a few of my favorite and most successful results so far.
