Spring Flowers

Spring Flowers in Descanso Gardens. 

Two Dogs

This shot was caught at my local dog park.  I went there intending to shoot in black and white.  When I got there a large majority of the pups in the park were black or white.

This Italian Greyhound again...looks like I shot it in black and white.  I love how she blended into the background.  She's 10 years old and so very friendly.  Loved her.

Bridal Shower - November 2010

so in November I attended a bridal shower.  I took my camera mostly for my own practice.  I walked in and asked the bride's mother if I could take some photos.  She was so excited that someone brought a camera to the event and asked if I could take photos for her daughter.

Unexpected, about a week later, I received a $100 gift certificate from the Bride to be and her mother to the restaurant where the shower was held.    I think I had my first photography job!

afternoon lensbaby shots

Still practicing with the Lensbaby.  Since I was home today and it was another beautiful day, I took advantage of some afternoon sun.

Lensbaby

A friend from work, as seen here--rob castro--let me borrow his lensbaby this weekend.  I had the a large part of the day to myself, so I went outside to my front lawn where there appears to be a crop of mushrooms growing. 

These shots of Savannah are her on the couch being a perfect blurred model for me.

just a series of black and white

I love black and white.  It seems, to me, so exposed; so simple.  It's there in front of you without color or distraction.  Simplicity in it's true form.
