Now that I've completed my year-long voice teacher training, I decided it's time to get back to my photo blog. I've been posting daily on Blipfoto but it limits me to one photo a day and so I'm finding my creativity a little boxed in.

I've created some sections on this blog for categories of photos - the tabs above are pretty self explanatory. You may choose what interests you this way - if you don't want to scroll through photos of toddlers to see macros of flowers, you don't have to!

This home page will still be a mix of things - or maybe I'll change it up too, keep you on your toes!

Grand Reflection

At Michelle's Pianos one August evening, the sun shining through the window created this amazing reflection of the piano "guts" on the lid. (This grand piano goes for around $125K.)

Tree Shadow

It's seldom the street is empty enough for a full-on shadow of a tree!

Whale Bones

Whales have been here
forever. Their flesh has fed the
people and been the occasion
for celebration and feasting.
Their bones have been made 
into tools and objects of status
and ceremonial importance.
The sighting of a whale still
thrills all who see it.

May it always be so!

Still Life with Gourds

Gourds on the windowsill. I love the way mono makes the textures pop.

I also had fun with some post-processing filters. This is pencil drawing applied to B/W version.

Pumpkin curls

I just love the little curlicue on the stem of this pumpkin, and the shadow it creates.

Mr. Key

In Rejuvenation Hardware, it's sometimes hard to tell what's reflection and what's window.

Busker

Not all of the street musicians in the neighborhood are as engaging and enjoyable as this young man.

Drop Shadow

Sometimes shadows show up in surprising places. I don't expect shadows from water droplets.
