Long Exposures
Long Exposures
I am really enjoying playing around with long exposures. It just creates a totally different mood in a picture.

Lodi Community Art Center Spring Show
2014 Mondavi Winery Spring Show
I entered these 3 pictures into the upcoming spring show, which is the largest juried show in Northern California. I am happy to say that the picture on top and the bottom both made it into the show this year. So wish me luck, I will let you know how judging turns out.

Almond Orchard
I was lucky enough to get out to the beautiful almond orchard before the storm hit. This has to be one of the best manicured orchards I have ever seen. My daughter received permission from the owners to use if for a photo shoot with some of her clients and she brought me out to do some landscape photos. Thanks Mary.................great idea!!

Aptos, California
Aptos, Calif.
I was able to get away this weekend to the coast only to have it rain the whole time we were there. But I managed with some help from my friends and a BIG umbrella to get a few good shots that I feel were keepers. Here they are. Thanks for looking.

2014 Photography Show
2014 Photography Show
I have been the chairperson for my local art center's photography show for 2 years now. I submitted 11 images this year and these 8 were accepted by our 3 judges. Sadly I didn't place with any of them but they are for sure a few of my favorites from this past year, with the exception of the hot air balloons I did that a few years ago. I had some tough competition for sure, there were so many beautiful entries. I was excited that my daughter placed in the "Faces" category. Win or lose I will continue on and hope to get better and better with my photography. Thanks to all of you for your input and comments.

Bridges, trestles and piers
I am not sure what my attraction to bridges, trestles and piers might be, my only guess would be that I love leading lines in pictures. Here are a few shots from my travels around California.
