Loved the Sessions

                 

The Sessions tells the story of Mark O'Brien, a California based journalist and poet, who is confined to an iron lung, who is determined at age 38, to lose his virginity. This is a creative story told in a touching way. Two thumbs up. See it.           

Happy Thanksgiving Week

I have a great respect for family and friends that attack that big ol bird. They grab it. Clean it. Baste it. And Cook it. Some stuff it. Some cook the stuffing separate from the bird. Some use bread stuffing and others cornbread. The there are the side dishes, green beans, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, and cranberries. Then dessert. Pumpkin Pie. Apple Pie. The there are the others that escape the big day for a non traditional T Day. What ever you did. Whatever you believe. Happy Thanksgiving Week.

Louie On Fire

                              
 
Only an abstract painter could paint an image of a  ragdoll in this image. This is one of the abstract paintings that is for sale at the M2 Gallery in Little Rock. I love how artists see the outside world. They have the ability to turn a docile ragdoll cat into a ferocious creature. M2 is currently having their Holiday Show.

Glass Designs By Melissa

This is the storefront of the Glass Designs by Melissa at 908 E. Grand Avenue in Arroyo Grande. I love to shoot store front windows. I do use a light meter but usually begin with the sunny 8 rule, F8 125. Works all the time. Big Hassey was made for shooting storefronts and people. I have the feeling some art is happening behind those doors.

Lorie's Cards Hit Vintage Etc.

Lorie's Beach Hand Embossed Cards have a life in the store Vintage Etc., at 800 Palm St., San Luis Obispo. Her cards have had a life of their own on the Central Coast. I was so taken with how the store keepers placed her Beach Art Cards. I am honored to shop where people care about what they put out on their shelves for us shoppers to carefully pick out. Lorie's Beach series is a marriage for Vintage Etc.

The Amazing Lotusland

            

                   

Lotusland is an amazing place in Montecito, California. I love to take family and friends to Lotusland to see the marvelous gardens. It is a photographers dream to walk through the gardens and take in this magical place. Ganna Walska was ahead of her time. You will not regret this trip to Santa Barbara, California.    

Mirror Mirror Tell Me More

I love to take photographs of mirrors.  They add dimension to photographs. My eye goes back to that mirror in the frame. I walk around the subject until I am comfortable with where the mirror is located.
