I spent the weekend attending a wedding and a baptism. Very festive great food and good company!
Merry Christmas

My son was in his first play this last week. He did a great job. He was channeling Connie Marshall I think

this is my niece that was a model for a day for me in a graveyard dressed as a bride. I have gotten some great stuff to work with from this shoot Thanks Stef

THis weeks photo is a familiar face I am playing with my new photoshop and filters some great possibilities!

My favorite time of year has come and gone I hope everyone had a great holiday!!

This weeks photo is me just working with the new filters I got for photoshop. They make terrific mask layers. This is from a wedding I shot in July. Have a great week

"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living my baby you'll be"

Its been a while since I made a post, I have been struggling with computer problems I think it has been resolved
at this point. This is a victorian farm house I saw in Freemont last week it is beautiful.

I have been having computer problems the last few weeks. ARRRRGGGHHH! The age of technology. I may have to change my photo of the week to photo of the month , until I can get things straightened out. I hope you all are a having a great summer. This is a modest grave I found in a Chinese cemetery in Daly City. I was sneaking around with my camera until I got discovered and thrown out. I guess the attendents of the cemetery don't appreciate art.

This weeks photo is dedicated to summer vacation To all you moms I hope you survive it!! Have a great week

I am getting a jump on this weeks photo. I needed some inspiration this week for my art so I took a walked around sutro baths so beautiful!Have a great week.

My photo of the week should be called Bi-weekly, oh well I'm not that consistent but Have a great rest of your week!

This weeks photo is just of some pretty dresses I saw in a window have a great week

This weeks image is from the Santa Barbra Fire. My cousin lives in the area and captured these dramatic images. She is doing okay but they have been on evacuation standby.I received and email from her today showing me these photo! Hang in there Cathy and Dave.

This weeks photo is another Vegas shot. In Vegas you can meet fall in love and get married all in one night if you like. I will be sharing my pictures of some of the chapels I saw while in town. This first image is dedicated to my lovely sister, who was so patient with me as I would yell spontaneously to stop the car while I jumped out into the middle of traffic to shoot a picture. I know she thought I was outa my mind. Thanks for understanding Les!

I have two images to share this week. The first one is of the beautiful Nevada desert near Las Vegas The Mountains are amazing in that area. They are striped! The second one is a work shop I went to over the weekend It was really fun and the models looked great with body paint on them. It lasted 4 and a half hours, San Francisco was having a heat wave that day so it was really hot. The models paint started to melt at one point but they never complained although I prob complained enough for everyone. At the end I was exhausted. I took 300 images. Who would have thought taking pictures could be so draining.

I went to Vegas this week. I will have some images to share over the next few weeks. This week's photo is dedicated to all those lovely Las Vegas dancers. They remind me of the beautiful desert flowers of Nevada. They burn brightly, beautiful and they die out quickly. Have a great week

This first picture is done by my sister Leslie she writes: I was up in Laytonville over the weekend visiting friends and he showed this grave to us. It is literally in the middle of the woods! It is the only one. She died in 1907, we stood around and comiseratied about why she was buried there of all places and what the view may have been.

I went to the Alameda flea market today it is a huge flea market with all antiques. Although I got blisters on my feet. I got some great pictures.

As John Stewart would say "Here is your moment of Zen" Have a great week

This weeks photo is dedicated to all the sugar I have to give up for my diet. Goodbye chocolate I Loved you so. Have a great week!

This first shot is done by my sister Leslie whom I am trying to encourage to take up photography she has a great eye she told me she calls this "beauty in chaos".

I was suppose to go to a photography workshop in a Victorian in Noe Valley on Sunday. The group didn't post the address so I thought I would just find it if I drove around the neiborhood a little I didn't realize there are a million and one Victorians in the area. Needless to say I didn't find the group, but I got some great shots of some beautiful homes from the turn of the Century. 

I enjoyed a walk on the beach with my son Michael the other day I thought with the rainy weather  lately we could all enjoy a bit of sunshine. Have a great week

This weeks photo is called "Roscoe"  Have a great week!

This is the image I am considering putting in an art competition. I have a real love for graffiti random artistic beauty

This one is part of the same series of photos I did in Chinatown in San Francisco. I love Laundry and the different methods people use to dry clothes. I would say that's the only thing I love about Laundry

Sometimes you can visit other cultures right here at home. San Francisco is a melting pot of people who come to live from all over the world they can immerse themselves in communities where they can speak their own language and live their own culture. Have a great week

This weeks Photo is the image I was going to use for an art exhibit. Unfortunately I didn't make the deadline to submit the art work in time. It is blurry but I happen to like blurry and the feeling of a dreamlike state that it creates. Have a great week Allison
