Baby Lashes
This month I am taking a class that has a daily shooting project. I am focusing on “details” for this, so expect a lot of close-ups and macros for the next few weeks. While I will surely shoot a lot of flowers, food and the like, I am also hoping to capture some of the bitty details of my babies, like Alexa’s eyelashes here.
Project 52: Playing with Shadows (3)
“How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow? I must have a dark side also if I am to be whole.”
― C.G. Jung
Once again, today’s post is for a long-term collaborative project I am participating in with several other talented photographers whom I have come to know and admire over the past year. This project concentrates on light and learning to master its many dynamic forms. We spend several weeks at a time exploring a common theme so we can really dig in deep, have fun, and take creative risks. Below is my latest take on this week’s theme, shadows.
Next up in our creative blog circle is my dear friend, the incredibly talented Stacey Vukelj. Please take a moment to check out Stacey’s creative play on shadows.

“Our job is to record, each in his own way, this world of light and shadow and time that will never come again exactly as it is today.” – Edward Abbey
Today’s post is for a long-term collaborative photo project I am participating in with several other talented photographers whom I have come to know and admire over the past year. This project concentrates on light and learning to master its many dynamic forms. We spend several weeks at a time exploring a common overarching theme so we can really dig in deep, have fun, and take creative risks. You can see my first photo for this project here. Below is my latest take on this week’s theme, shadows.
This was taken on Foster Island in the Washington Park Arboretum, not far from my home in Seattle. If you look carefully in the reflection in the back, you can see the new stadium being built for the University of Washington.

Adventures in Narcissism
In a photography class I am taking, I’ve been encouraged to get out from behind the camera and get into some of the photos with my kids. So I’ve learned to use my self-timer and have to admit that I am having a lot of fun taking all these self-portraits. Here are a couple I took with Alexa.
It’s Pretty Near the Hellmouth
When visiting my parents house, I was thrilled to find that there were some very cute fuzzy bumblebees around. I never see the cute fatty ones here in Seattle, so I wanted to get a few shots of them. While I stalked them with my macro lens, I happened to notice a few regular bees – what I thought were regular bees – buzzing about. After a few minutes, I saw that they were heading toward a hole in the ground, just to the left of the bush I’d been shooting. I saw a dozen or more of the little suckers flying in and out of the hole and ran off in fear. After looking online, I confirmed that they weren’t bees, but yellow jackets – the stinging insects most likely to be responsible for a stinging death and the ones to which I am very allergic – and that they had likely built a rather large nest underground. (Insert heebeejeebee dance here.) Never thought that this would be a risky hobby!
