Simple

Rugged

This is an oldie - taken about 6 or so years ago. I've learned alot since then, but still love the simplicity of this shot.

Beautiful Glass

As long as I can remember I have always loved everything about coke - the shape of their glass bottles, the beauty and sentiment of their commercials. I do love to photograph my extensive coke collection.

Soft Flower

Again, taken in my backyard on a rainy morning.

This one is for my mother. She has always loved the beauty of nature. I hope she enjoys the photo as much as I enjoyed taking it.

Rainy Day and Beautiful Trees

Okay, so we don't get very many rainy days where I live. And usually when we do get them, they are pretty miserable. The past week it was rainy all day long, and cold (which we aren't used to either). Although, this time, the rainy days have been pretty fun. It's been a steady rain. This particular morning, I was up, going through my morning routine when I looked in the backyard and saw these beautiful yellow trees showing up so brilliantly against the blue and stormy sky.

Surrounded by Light . . . and hay

Bright & Early

Thanks to the great guys at The Haybarn for letting me follow them around one very cold morning.

Reflections

Since I am going down memory lane . . . here is one from a few years back. This was an assignment from a class. We had to shoot something dreamlike. This was a fun one to shoot. Getting the focus just right was a little tricky.

Moon

I dug this out from the archives. Taken in my parents backyard.

Weeds can be beautiful too

This is an old photo - taken on an evening in my parents backyard.

Beautiful Sunset

This is why I live in the Southwest - love these sunsets!

Well, that and no snow!

Beautiful Glow

The Mesa Temple all decorated up with Christmas Lights. It's a Beautiful Sight.

View from the Top

This is an old photo I took many years ago. I like it as much today as then. It is taken with 35mm black & white film.

Lighting the Way

Mill Avenue

This little staircase was tucked at the end of the building. After a fun time shooting on Mill Avenue, we passed this staircase on the way to the car when it was time to go. I liked the way the ray of light hit each step on the way down the stairs.

Contained Vines

Standout Stairs

I loved this hidden staircase. The color really jumped out from the brick wall.

Leading to the Hay

The Haybarn

Thanks to Nate, Scott & all at the Haybarn for letting me have such fun photographing things I see at the Haybarn. I look forward to more great projects!!!

Beautiful Sky

I couldn't resist taking this photo. I was on my way to do some shopping on Black Friday. This was the beautiful scene in the late afternoon sky. I pulled over and took several shots with my trusty old point & shoot camera that I always keep in my purse for these occassions.

May the Force Be With You

Another shot from our family shooting night. At first, we were a little disappointed at the blue light that strayed from the light saber. After looking at it on my computer, I really liked the way that it gives the lightsaber action as if it had just been moved from that spot. This is a fun technique with lots of possibilities!

Star Wars Battlefront

This was a fun family project. We all contributed to this painting with light technique to create an interesting Star Wars Battle.

Having fun with color

Just finished "tweaking" the photos I took of Annie. I had fun adjusting this one - removing some elements and adding others in.
