Preparing for Open Studios
Posted in Photography Exhibits, tagged Photography, Somerville Open Studios on March 29, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Somerville Open Studios is only one month away! I spent the weekend doing more prepatory work. One of the items I’ll have available are notecards. They are A7 cards with 4×6 images affixed. Each card is signed. Last year I had cards in a basket. This year I’m hoping to have them in a card holder, either a table top or floor model.
I’m also sorting through my inventory to put together a Clearance Box of “as is” items from last year, mostly small matted prints. My next big decision is what prints to frame and at what size. Hmmm.

Nature in Black and White
Posted in Branches, Inspiration, Nature Notes, tagged Ansel Adams, black and white, edmands park, Photography on March 10, 2010| Leave a Comment »
During lunch, on a bright sunny day, I went for a walk through Edmands Park with camera in hand. Inspired by Ansel Adams, I decided to shoot in black and white. I’m quite excited to see how the pictures come out. Mr. Adams was on my mind because of a recent blog post I’d read about some of his photos held at the National Archives. In 1941 he was commissioned by the National Park Service to create a mural that exemplified nature in the national parks. When the U.S. entered World War II, the project was halted. You can read more here on the National Archives website. The following picture in particular lit the creative spark in me.

The Good Stick: Portraits
Posted in Inspiration, tagged Photography, portraits on March 4, 2010| 1 Comment »
Right now I am stuck in a wonderful creative space pondering portraits. Not so much traditional portraits, though with the help of friends, I do enjoy challenging myself in that arena to capture the uniqueness of individuals. Here’s a friend and her daughter.
But what if you can’t photograph someone’s face? Maybe the person is shy. Maybe the person has passed away. Using photography, how do you present a picture of that person to the world?
A 2-Chipmunk Day
Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, On the Road, tagged chipmunks, Photography on March 4, 2010| 2 Comments »
On the way into work this morning I saw not one but two chipmunks. They raced along a stone wall surrounding the school where I work. I just stood and watched them for a bit. No reaching for the camera. I’ve learned I have limited skill and luck in taking pictures of chipmunks. Though I did have this lovely moment one autumn.
Here are a few fun chimpmunk facts from National Geographic.
