where I’m at

I’ve finally had a chance to slow down on framing and hanging new shows. I do still have work hanging in several places: the Libation Station and Gretchens in Mount Vernon, The Art of Food show at University House in Seattle, Picture the Musician in Wenatchee, and next month I’ll be filling the display case inContinue reading “where I’m at”

calendars

‘Tis the season to get holiday gift shopping taken care of! For some time I’ve enjoyed putting together a calendar of photos I’ve taken during the past year to give as gifts. This year I decided to put together several different calendar options, and make them available for purchase over at my Qoop store. You can chooseContinue reading “calendars”

Rexville holiday show

The annual holiday arts and crafts show at Rexville is coming up this weekend! I’ve been participating in this show for years as a musician and handweaver, but this year I will also have an assortment of framed photographs, including a number of small vegetable portraits, perfect as gifts for the kitchen. The show runsContinue reading “Rexville holiday show”

zooming

I seem to have been neglecting this blog – probably something to do with trying to participate in NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) by posting once a day over at my other blog. Whoops. In any case, I haven’t been completely neglecting my shooting – here’s an image I’m particularly pleased with. A simple parkContinue reading “zooming”

katsura

I adore katsuras in all seasons, but particularly in the fall when the foliage turns color – anywhere from deep red to butter yellow, depending on the tree – and takes on a rich butterscotch scent. I was shooting this tree in Hillcrest Park and trying to capture some of what makes katsuras so magicalContinue reading “katsura”

bees

My sweet autumn clematis is just coming out of full bloom. We had quite a few beautiful sunny days this month, and there were dozens of bees making good use of the white honey-scented flowers. I went out with my macro one day and got as close to the bees as a I could – theyContinue reading “bees”

The Art of Food

Tomorrow night is the kickoff party for a group art exhibit in Seattle that I’m very excited about. Called “The Art of Food”, it features work by fifty different artists, all themed around food from harvest to table. I have five photographs in the show, which will be on display at University House in WallingfordContinue reading “The Art of Food”

by the water

I love going out to the water to shoot, but it’s hard to come up with an image that isn’t a complete cliche. We drove out to Deception Pass State Park at Rosario Beach last weekend, and I have shots of cliffs, islands, pretty clouds, green water…all lovely, but really rather boring. I ended upContinue reading “by the water”

beyond Main Street

Another show coming up! This one, which will be hanging at the Heritage Gallery in Mount Vernon for a couple of weeks, is a selection of my photos taken in downtown Mount Vernon, through the alleys and along the river. The official reception is this Thursday, October 7, from 7-9 pm, and coincides with various festivities celebratingContinue reading “beyond Main Street”

colors of late summer

The other day I needed to get the tripod out to take some pictures for my other blog, and while I had it out I decided to play around with some macro shots. My husband bought me this gorgeous bouquet from the farmer’s market for my birthday, full of dahlias and statice, and I experimentedContinue reading “colors of late summer”
