A Ritual

Very early every Saturday morning, I go to the Santa Monica Farmer's Market. It's heaven all by itself. Before I buy anything, I walk through the market and down to the beach. I have been shooting from the same vantage point for the last several weeks, and am amazed at how different the same shot looks, from one week to the next. This morning it was slightly cooler and everything was super dreamy.

Another Bed

I continue to be fascinated by images of beds. I don't know why, but I pretty much love shooting them. Made, unmade and anything in between. A friend told me that she thought this frame looked like a topographical map. This only made me like it more.

A New Year

I cannot believe that another year has come and gone so quickly. After swearing to myself, that I would shoot more, I simply did not. I have tons of excuses to offer, but will save you the misery of hearing them.

New Years Day is my birthday, and this year I went to LACMA to see the William Eggleston show. Seeing the work of brilliant photographers is pure soul food. I have long admired his work, and the show did not disappoint. His work captures the beauty in the most ordinary of places and objects. A master to be sure.

It was a beautiful cool day with bright blue skies. The cold weather amplified the jet trails in the sky which made for beautiful patterns. This shot was taken outside the museum as I was leaving.

My New Years Resolution is to be inspired more, shoot more, and share more. That's it. I can do that.

A Rose

Another simple shot of a rose. As I watched this flower blossom and then quickly fade over several days, it reminded me of the fragility of it all. Here today. Gone tomorrow. I have lost two good friends this year, and I miss them so much. This is for you Randy and Michael. Love you always.

A Summer Day

We have finally had some summer weather after our June gloom carried into July and August. I spent the afternoon at the beach and watched the sun set. It was a perfect California day. Sunny, but with a cool sweet breeze. The sky went from bright blue to a soft pink in minutes. As I was admiring the light, this girl on her bike whizzed past me. I only managed to capture this one frame. Lucky.

A Step

I must confess to something. I have fallen head over heels in love with my iPhone. I loved my Blackberry, but had no idea what I was missing out on. Apps. There. I've said it. I adore the Apps. Most of all, I am crazy about the Hipstamatic. I am addicted to it. I may be headed to Hipstamatic rehab. Today I am sharing the first of many images taken with this new found love. Hope you like it.

A Lovely Dalmatian

This is my sweet Zoe. I adopted her from Dalmatian Rescue in Miami nearly twelve years ago. She was left in a crack house when she was a tiny puppy. She has been the most wonderful dog and loyal companion I could ask for. She is always happy and is usually "smiling". This is a rare moment where she is not doing her Dalmatian grin. She was laying in my bed and the morning light through the white curtains made a perfect soft box. I snapped 4 frames. This was my favorite.
