New Cyanotypes
These turned out pretty well. I maybe could go a little lighter on the exposure, I don’t know. The blues are just so vibrant and nice. Had an interesting double exposure, I had no idea I had two negatives stuck together. Not sure if I actually like it but I’m going to post it anyway.…

Polaroid Image Transfers
I honestly don’t really remember a lot about how to do these. I don’t think you can get the film I used anymore. You had a machine that projected a slide onto a Polaroid and then you took the top off and transferred it to other paper. It was a lot of fun and you…

Not much going on lately…
I haven’t gotten a whole lot done lately. I did a few more cyanotypes (will share those later), did my 52 Frames submission and started drawing for another Portes de Pont-Aven painting. I dug out some old Polaroid Transfers from 2001-2003 and may list them on Etsy. We will see. I have a pile of…

Ricoh Neighborhood Photos
I haven’t really gone anywhere interesting to take photos so took the Ricoh on a walk around the neighborhood; I can’t go far because Gary is recovering from extensive bladder surgery (he’s doing great!) but he can’t walk far. So, we just ambled around the house and neighborhood. I love the Ricoh, and it’s a…

Action Pugs
I had to do a fast shutter speed for 52 Frames and of course, it was going to be action dog shots. Only my dogs are awkward, so they just turned out to be funny. Oh well, it made me laugh and they’re super cute. Nikon Z50ii, 70-200 2.8 lens.

Watercolors
I’ve always loved watercolor painting but it’s something I haven’t really kept up with. When I was in France, I was so enchanted with all the doors and took tons of pictures of them. I had the idea there to do a series of paintings of them. I finally got around to doing one. But…

Cyanotypes
I started seeing these posts on Facebook or Instagram or somewhere – you know, the ones you didn’t ask for and they just keep spamming you with it – of a person doing cyanotypes with digital negatives and a UV light. So, after seeing so many, I decided it might be fun to try it…

Farmer’s Market
I had a 52 Frames assignment to photograph in the style of another photographer, so I chose Elliott Erwitt. I love his dog photos and his juxtaposition and humor. I am definitely no Elliott Erwitt but I set out at the Farmer’s Market to find some dogs to photograph, trying to emulate him in some…

Just Random Stuff
The 52 Frames assignment a week or two ago was “what is it?” and I used a macro lens to try to get something. Here are a few outtakes from that assignment. It was fun! All images taken with Nikon Z50ii and Z 105 2.8 MC lens.

70-200 Practice
Gary and Hazel got to practice their modeling skills and I got to practice my shooting skills with the Nikon Z 70-200 2.8. Not the newest model of the lens, of course, but this lens is a really beautiful lens, and yes, heavy, but takes amazing action photos. We were just in the backyard so…
