Photo shoot

When I can't find the right person to photograph, I step from behind the camera in front of the lens. Sunday after church I went to a location someone told me about little over a year ago. I thought it would be great to do some wintry scenes or use as a Christmas card. I am not a big fan of extreme cold for long periods of time. I have taken some pictures in the snow in Italy and Seattle, but you can't always go back to those places in a moments notice.

I decided to get an early start before the pedestrians were out with there dogs. I had planned this in my head for quite some time and I was able to get some good shots. The weather was great and the lighting was perfect. The sun came in just at the right moment. I like using natural lighting, but I will begin testing lights in a studio setting soon. It's been a while so I am teaching myself all over again.

I consider myself an artist that takes pictures and that's what I try to capture, giving my clients something they will be proud to show off.

You can find more images on my other blog.

Thanks for stopping by and do come back again. Keep an open mind.

Donna Summer the Artist

The passing of Donna Summer came as a big surprise.

 Although she hadn't been in the light for quite sometime she was still an integral part of my life and I always listen to her music.

 It's fun, energetic and inspiring.
 Donna Summer's music was a big part of the soundtrack of my life.

This is part of a drawing I did many years ago of the Legendary singer.

Aside from being one of my all time favorite singers, Donna Summer was a great artist.

 Her lithographs went for substantial amounts of money. Everything will be up in value now. Here are some of her lithographs.

Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind. Rest in peace, Donna Summer.
