Violet!

On a recent Saturday, I spent my morning with Violet, the adorable daughter of Sam and Wendy.  Violet definitely knows what she likes.  On this particular day, we practiced getting Thomas the Train to shoot bubbles from his smokestack and perfecting the sand-to-water ratio for her castles.  She barely even noticed the camera.  It was perfect.  But Violet definitely knew just how to turn on the charm for the lens when she wanted to.  Thanks to Wendy and Sam for inviting me into their home and introducing me to their beautiful daughter!

Moab with Tyler Stableford: Day 1

Two weeks ago, I published a few teaser images from a recent workshop that I did with Tyler Stableford in Moab, Utah.  And I’ve been pretty much bursting to share some more from that weekend.  So, here goes.  On the first day of the workshop, we had the chance to work with the cowboys and cowgirls who staff the ranch where we stayed.  I’ve never photographed anything like it before.  Stampeding stallions, steer roping, and a little downtime made for some pretty incredible scenery.  Devon, Jake, Melissa, Jill, Monty, and Chance (yeah, that’s right) were our models for the day, and they were naturals.  Or at least we were bossy.    I’m still cleaning the dust out of my gear, but it was definitely worth it.  Not only were Tyler and his assistant, Draper White, fantastic as usual, but I also learned plenty from the fellow attendees….a seriously talented bunch.  Thanks for another great time, Tyler.  Coming soon….Day 2 at Arches National Park!

Alex’s First Birthday

Alex and her guests had a great time celebrating her first year.  Big brother Ben showed off his new tricycle (which also belonged to mom when she was his age!), and the cupcakes were a HUGE hit with the birthday girl. Thanks for letting me be a part of your big day, Alex!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Getting Around in Palo Alto

I haven’t been in the best spirits lately, and part of why is that I haven’t been shooting very much.  This afternoon, I forced my way out the door and down to Palo Alto to meet up with some fellow photographers for a photo walk.  I ended up walking alone and, using one wide-angle lens, I focused on capturing symbols of how people get themselves from place to place.

Nice theme, Dana! I especially like the bike detail shots, zipcar, and the blurred traffic.

Makes me miss Palo Alto a lot! Great captures Dana – love the movement in that final shot.
