On Dec. 4, 2016, I had the privilege of participating in a workshop called "Cameras and Dancers" where photographers were paired with dancers for the opportunity to shoot them in a myriad of poses. The location for the shoot was Union Station – a marvelous, historic building and the hub of Los Angeles's metro system.
This is Haylee Nichele.

I never thought about how Brussels sprouts grew until I walked into the grocery store a couple months ago and found a barrel full of stalks of Brussels sprouts. Of course I had to buy a few to take photos of ;-).

Created for TMI's challenge: In the Style of ... ICM (Intentional Camera Movement).
I was shooting on a bright day and with my camera set for ICM effects, but without a filter to compensate for the bright sun. The result was a number of overexposed photos. This one, however, turned out to be one of my favorites, especially when I decreased brightness and contrast, which brought out those lovely pastel colors.

Created for TMI's July contest: "ROCKS that ROCK".
Morro Rock stands at the end of a narrow spit of land in Morro Bay, CA. It's what they call a volcanic plug or volcanic neck – hardened magma formed within a vent from an active volcano.
Created for Hypothetical Awards' "CHIMNEY SWEEP "Mini-Challenge.
Morro Bay on the central coast of California is famous for the enormous volcanic plug known as Morro Bay Rock as well as for the Morro Bay Estuary, a natural preserve for birds and home to many endangered species.
Directly across the bay is the anything-but-natural Morro Bay power plant with its three enormous smokestacks. Despite its negative environmental impact, there's a beauty in this landmark which I capitalized on in this imagined scene.
See my original photo HERE.
See a panoramic view of the entire bay HERE.

CHEF Beth challenges us to create an architectural, urban artwork. Here are the ingredients:
➤ The focus of your image must be on urban architecture.
➤ It must include at least one reflection.
➤ And use light in an interesting/creative way.
➤ Your use of color, in general, must be subtle, not bold.
➤ NO REAL PEOPLE (statues and mannequins are okay as long as they're of minor importance).

CHEF bethrosengard encourages us to be homebodies!
➤ Build your image around a common household object that is small enough to fit in a microwave (spoon, light bulb, vase, towel, salt shaker, TV remote, bar of soap, mug, flashlight, etc., etc., etc.).
➤ Let this object be the inspiration for the whole image, which must have either a comedic, dramatic, tragic or melodramatic overtone
➤ Place your object in or on a background that’s unexpected. In other words, don’t depict a pillow on a chair in a living room. The background could be as diverse as a simple texture or an urban night scene.
➤ Use text somewhere in your image.
➤ NO ANIMALS.
