Fall haiku

Her tan lines fading,

Summer, boards the hayride and  

blows a kiss to fall

The colors of Mexico

Hola! I'm in sunny Mexico where blue skies and sunshine are plentiful. This is a nice switch for a Seattle girl used to gray on gray. I spent a week in Puerto Vallarta and wandered the streets taking pictures. I also enjoyed some really good food which I'll tell you about in coming posts. Today I headed north to the small town of Bucerias. It has miles of unspoiled beaches and big waves with surfers. I'm having a hard time getting used to the lazy pace here after frenetic PV. A few days here will slow me down.

Repetition

Photography

I was just looking at a set of photos I took in 2011 while I was in NYC for three weeks. There are some good ones, I think.

If I win, I get a show in NYC and a one week all expense paid trip. That would be rad.

Random Picture Day 1

I'm going to post one random picture a day form my iPhoto archive...Here is today's photo.

Abstract art or painted over graffiti?

I've taken a series of pictures of walls that have blocks of painted over graffiti on them. They look like modern, abstract art to me. I've posted one set over on my flickr site. You can go there to view them all:

Drifts of Cherry Blossoms mean Spring in Seattle

Evidence of the Hand

I'm starting a new series of photographs called "Evidence of the Hand" and eventually want to do a show on this subject. It concerns looking at the handwork involved in making whether it be a sweater, or a piece of art.

beads and threads

Here are pictures from the first series in Evidence of the Hand. I found a beat up sweater at Goodwill by the pound. The lining was shot but I decided to upcycle the beads and save the beautiful beaded handwork for use on something else. I even love the label inside the sweater.

San Francisco, Chinatown & Pink Fur Funk

Fire Escape

I call her Dragon Lady

Diner Door

Parasols in Chinatown

These pictures make me happy. Taken about six years ago walking around San Francisco.

Virgins a hand and a mannequin

I'm going through some of the pictures I took on my trip to Paris in November and this one popped out. I think it was at the BHV department store? or Bon Marche? At any rate, I like it.

Raindrops and blossoms

Been gone too long! Sorry for not posting. I got a job and guess what? No free time. I'm adjusting but have to be more organized with my time. Today was rainy and cold but I saw blossoms and flowers at the warm and humid conservatory in Volunteer Park. I saw some amazing plants and colors only mother nature could invent. Enjoy

Leaf study

Looking up looking down in Autumn...this is what I found. Each one as different as a snowflake.
