Caboose in Black and White now Available

I’ve just added Caboose in Black and White to Etsy for digital downloads. This is one of my favorites from a few years ago. I’ve had it available for prints for a long time, but just recently realized it was not up for digital download. Now it is. The digital download is a large file […]

Title Suggestions?

I took this photo during the supermoon in March. Thanks, Alan, for the head’s up to go outside and get the shot! There’s something about this one that really moves me, When I downloaded it from the camera and could really see it, I knew my normal print size wasn’t going to work. I’ve been […]

Photo Stories: Endless Summer, No Parking, and the Challenge of Themes

Themes. I tend to bristle at them. I always feel like there is an unspoken challenge, that someone is going to feel entitled to interpret my work and decide their opinion is fact without consulting me on the meaning. I know that’s coming from a long history with this issue as a writer and from […]

Iris

This is from a session in between when I was working on getting Iris to get out in the light. Added this to my 365 Project, which I have not been keeping up on as much as I had hoped, but I am trying to get back into.

Great Lighting Doesn’t Always Work Out

In my last post I said I was going to try to get close-ups of Iris with better lighting. I had a plan, and it was a good one except for one thing I should have seen coming. Like me, Iris is very sensitive to light. One of the challenges I failed to mention last […]

Iris and the Articulated Screen

Photographing Iris is a challenge. She’s jumpy. If you look at her for very long, she jumps up and moves around. Trying to get photos at her level is particularly challenging. And, getting close-ups has been next to impossible. She doesn’t like it when I move much at all when she is close. I’ve taken […]

Photo Stories: Stash Stalking the Amazing Mr. Tom

This photo was taken during one of my favorite sessions. I was able to get some amazing shots of three generations of formerly feral cats – Mr. Tom, his daughter Stash, and her daughter Iris. All were successfully TNR’d long before this shoot, but when I took these photos, the only one of the three […]

My First Photo for The 365 Project

I decided to try the 365 Project. I was inspired by this post by photographer Frank Mckenna. It was one of those things I came across while looking for something else entirely, and I’m glad I did. I have done this kind of thing before, but only privately. This time I’ve joined the 365 Project, […]

Every Photo has a Story, But Then What?

Right now, I am working on fleshing out the website by adding more information about the photos. Telling the stories of the photos or something about their backgrounds. As much as I feel like the images must be able to stand on their own, and as much as I hope that each one does tell […]
