last summer, we did a "happy widow" theme in the historical part of the Rouen cemetery with Ajna. Despite the topic, it was fun!

It has been quite a while since I have posted a photo from Europe. We try to get there every other year or so, but we had to miss last year because of illness. There are so many places to see and never enough time or money. The architecture there is so different from the United States and I love learning about it and documenting it through my photos. The architecture is not limited to mainland Europe and can be found on its many islands. Up near the top of great islands and architecture to visit is the Greek Island of Santorini. Famous for its blue-domed churches, it is a mecca for photographers and vacationers alike. A great place to see them is in the town of Oia. If you are simply looking for the blue domes though, you would miss out on some terrific scenes in other parts of town. After I shot the domes, I walked around town to the other side and was able to capture this scene. The uniqueness of the architecture is still apparent with the two unusual windmills in the distance. You can also get a great appreciation of how tightly together people live on the island.

On our Alaskan cruise a few years ago, we spent some time exploring Denali and taking the a full-day train ride to our cruise ship in Whittier. It was an awesome experience, but all good things come to an end. On our last morning at sea, we pulled into Vancouver Harbor to dock and disembark at Canada Place. It is one of the main sailing ports, where a steady stream of cruise ships can be seen coming and going. Canada Place, with its iconic white sails, is located in the heart of Vancouver's downtown harbor front. The only thing that made the end of the cruise palatable was that we were staying for three days in Vancouver, which is a fantastic place to visit. I shot this photo as we approached the end of our cruise.
I always enjoy looking back through my thousands of photos and taking another look at some of the places I have been. More importantly, I remember the people I was with and the fun we had together. When I came across this photo of Wilson Mesa ranch outside of Telluride, the memories of shooting with Rick Louie and Chris Nitz came back to me. Rick conducts a photo tour in Colorado, and, if you are looking to catch some Colorado foliage, look him up - you won't regret it.
If memory serves me right, this shot was taken near the end of the tour and we were sort of outrunning a storm. We spotted this scene from the road and spent quite a lot of time shooting it. After taking quite a number of shots, I didn't feel like I was capturing the full scene, so I shot this panorama that better captures what my eyes were seeing. It was a great end to the day, although when we got to Telluride, we took an interesting gondola ride through the rain and lightning, but that is a story for another post.
Yesterday I was nominated as the "Maid of the Day" at a facebook-group. Also visible on tumblr: cindytvcaptions.tumblr.com
Gestern wurde ich bei facebook als "Maid des Tages" nominiert. Das Bild ist auch auf tumblr zu sehen.
So there’s this campaign in Brantford to spread kindness by painting rocks and hiding them around the city. When you find one you’re supposed to post it on Facebook and then re-hide the rock. My neighbour’s kids found one by my yard today while walking their dog and it says HOPE! I asked if I could take a pic of the rock to share with my sister, as she lost a granddaughter at birth named Hope. When the kids came by a second time they said they wanted me to have the rock! So I guess now I’ll have to hide it somewhere!
Last week I posted a photo of a scene from the backroads of the Palouse and compared the golden colors of the harvest to the green colors of spring. I won't retell that story. Instead, I'll take you to the number one destination in the Palouse of every serious photographer who visits -- Steptoe Butte State Park. It doesn't matter at all what season of the year it is, the views from the top of the butte are simply outstanding, particularly at sunrise and sunset. From the top of the butte, you get a 360° view of some of the most fertile farmland in the world. Your first temptation is to capture all of the scene that you can, going as wide as you can. In my opinion, the beauty of the surrounding landscape is lost shooting wide. Shooting a panorama is even worse. The best bet and my favorite way to shoot there is to put a long lens on the camera. Then pick out sections of the landscape, trying to capture the undulations and details of the scene using the golden hour light to accentuate them. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of compositions that can be captured that show the beauty of the Palouse. This is one of my favorite compositions, showing the Whitman County Growers building in the distance.
Last week I talked about working the scene and trying to get as many unique views of a subject that you can. The funny thing is that when you think you have photographed it at all possible angles, you see someone else's photo and you realize you missed some. That is why I love shooting with other photographers. Back in April on our Maine scouting trip, Jeff Clow posted a similar composition to this that I had failed to see. The second I saw it, I knew that I would be shooting it the next time I visited Marshall Point Lighthouse. For those of you who think you may have not seen this lighthouse before, you are probably wrong. It was featured in the movie Forest Gump when Forest ended his cross country run. I can just picture a video camera from this vantage point filming the end of his run.
I met this old lady during Annapurna Circuit Trek in Nepal, April 2015. She was 94 years old. This was only a few days before the eathquake struck.
Some compositions seem to just speak to me. I love leading lines and roads are the easiest leading line to photograph. Of course, leading lines alone do not make a good photograph. The hard part is finding one that leads the viewer's eye to something special. Another element of a good photograph is adding three dimensionality to a two dimension medium. This can sometimes be achieved by layering of subjects in the distance. When I stood on this dirt road off on River Road in Professor Valley, I realized that this scene had it all. A colorful dirt road leading to three distinct layers: the sandstone buttes, the snow-capped peaks of the La Sal Mountains and the great blue sky with the soft clouds in the distant background. With the sun directly behind me, I knew this would be a good one.
This pic is for me to advertise my live performances on Facebook. Facebook doesn't display shadows very well, and so I've had to leave it a little flat as I'll be using it there mostly.

Yosemite is situated in the Sierra Nevada mountain range and is one of the most famous and most visited national parks in the US. For those of us that love the outdoors, Yosemite has everything: granite cliffs, waterfalls, rivers, streams, lakes, mountains, meadows, glaciers and sequoia trees, Yosemite has enchanted many for a long time. Galen Clark first championed the protection of Yosemite Valley, leading Abraham Lincoln to sign the Yosemite Grant in 1864. He was followed by John Muir, whose efforts helped establish a larger area beyond the valley to be included in what was to become a national park. The park gained even more acclaim through the photography of Ansel Adams. Adams' photo of Half Dome in 1927 named "Monolith" and his subsequent amazing black-and-white photos made Yosemite a must-visit location to the public. Yosemite's popularity continues today as more than 5 million people visited the park for the first time in 2016.
On the way to see Glacier Bay National Park, one has to navigate through the Alexander Archipelago. The archipelago is 300 miles long and is made up of about 1,100 islands. The islands themselves are really the tops of submerged coastal mountains that rise from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Between the islands and the Alaska mainland there is a series of channels, fiords and straits that are collectively known as the Inside Passage. It was so cool to be standing on the deck of our cruise ship and realize that we were sailing between mountain tops. This particular stretch of water is known as the Icy Straits and is near the entrance to the National Park.
