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…

French Doors
I am obsessed with the doors in France. I have no idea why; I’m not that interested in them in the US I don’t think. Those and cafe chairs. And that’s probably because we don’t even have many (or really any) of those. But the doors, I don’t know. I remember being fascinated by them…

Seaside in Bretagne
We visited the coast twice this trip. The first time, we picnicked at a beautiful spot that we had not been before, and then on another day, we walked GR34 again; same section, still as beautiful. The picnic day was pretty cool, but it still was so nice eating our baguettes with prosciutto and cheese,…

Quimper, France
The last of the Brittany cities we visited, but it’s a favorite. And SO MANY creperies! But we enjoyed walking around, visiting the Quimper Cathedral. So many old (like 1400s to 1800s) saints, I guess, there. Also we stumbled across a tropical botanical garden, Jardin exotique de la Retraite right in downtown Quimper. Very interesting…

Lorient, France
We went to Lorient this trip so it was our first time there. It was a typical city but had a nice waterfront area where we walked and came across le Tour de la Découverte, a lighthouse that was reconstructed between 1785-1786. While we were walking by, a man was playing bagpipes outside of it;…

Concarneau, France
We really enjoy visiting Concarneau. It is a city with two distinct areas, and also with a lot of interesting things. I’m sure we just scratched the surface but we visited the Ville Close, which is a walled town on an island in the centre of the harbor. This area was a shipbuilding area and…
