Our Backyard
I was surprised to find as many things as I did in the backyard to photograph with a macro lens. A macro just opens up so many possibilities that you’d never know about until you get up close. The grass shots were just sitting the camera in the grass, all of the shots were really…

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…

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.

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;…
