Lilies in the urban gardens - ready to take off into the Warp Tunnel : )

 

handheld swirl / circular ICM

(taken without a ND filter, thus the high aperture; I had accidentally only taken the ND 1000 filter (10 stops) with me and it was definitely too much as I couldn't see what I was doing)

What a morning! My husband and I took a trip to Moab last week to celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary. Only got to spend one morning shooting the sunrise while we were there but what a morning it was!

Just for fun - tying out Topaz Studio 2 (30 days trial version / using preset 'Starlight Glitter' here) on this lazy, rainy Sunday ... and it seems that I am already hooked :))

I had a some fun turning night into day a few weekends ago when I was kick'n it in Ocean Shores, WA.

 

Thats not the sun you see there, thats the moon! 30 second exposure as everyone chilled at BonFuego.

Christmas 2007.

My sister sent this pic to me, nicely framed, in our recent Christmas box. It's from the previous Christmas when she had her first dog mushing ride ! We had a total blast! It was so nice to share that with her. She added a note: "I tell the story so often , and never tire of it. Most people are awe struck to imagine mushing for real, and in the "real" chill (what was it, -22 degrees that day) of Alaska. I look forward to doing it yet again, perhaps next Christmas."

 

Bravo! Next year you might graduate to your own sled. I would hope it's a bit warmer and we can explore a bit farther on the trails. The dogs, and especially Sandy, send their greetings.

Thanks sis - your ever lovin' bro.

In line at the Con with Courtney and Heidi :D

Our fun day at BlytheconLA 2018 - just meeting everyone in person was so fun but meeting up prior just made it extra special! Looking forward to this group in Vegas 2024 - everyone's invited the more the merrier :D

 

And without planning and a happy coincidence we were all in black and white. :D

St. Maartens has one of the shortest run-ways and the planes come in very low.

This is taken from Sunset Cafe as the planes are landing. So cool to watch. I stayed away from the beach side because of the amount of sand that is kicked up by the jet engines. I still got sand but not as much.

We went over here several times and it was always a "blast".

My first ever emulsion lift courtesy of the Impossible Roadshow and I'm in love with the simplicity and ease of the process.

when the tide is low it is perfect for cruising. i got up every morning to greet the sun...very unusual for me.

This is Haley. I went shooting with her and Dee yesterday<3 Somuchfun. And peacock chasing. But this was taken on March 26th. The ones from yesterday are still being edited, if I post them at all.

 

I had so much to say.

 

I guess not.

from a solo coast trip earlier this spring… (2/2 for today)

 

i miss posting my film photos here. i've got so many to share and scan that it is overwhelming. the best way to remedy that is to share more and scan more… let's get back to it, shall we?

We went Go-kart racing today...I wasn't allowed on with the kids in case I ran them off the track;-) I had to go on with the adults!!

 

It was sooooo much fun. My fastest time was 52seconds around a 2 km track. What a hoon!!!! lol

@ Kamakura, Japan, by Lomo LC-A

A Flickr contact made a great suggestion. Take a crop of my previous photo and create an abstract. Then he really knocked me out with the idea to turn it upsidedown!

 

I guess it makes sense that a crop of an {explored} shot does the same... ;)

my fun new project with Steph Parke.

 

check out my blog post here or go straight for the gold here!

after i finished the first bird, i immediately worked on the second one.

i want to carve more and more. still thinking what should i carve next........

So for this theme I had to use 3 pictures and it still doesn't sum up the one of the best dolly memories.

For Blythecon LA I had my lovely friend from AU come out and stay about a month and we did so many fun things and saw so many fun places. One of the things I planned was some of the gals going to the Con came over to my house for a big dolly pool party. So I got to meet Jeds123 - Mandy and her lovely cousin from England. That was so fun, then later that weekend we all went to the Con and had a blast!!! I would love to do more times like this. Getting to know people and seeing their fun dolls was a blast!!!

i had "first date jitters", skyping a flickrfriend, but kristin is SO lovely, the nervous went away. straight away you're talking and in each others homes. the boys made faces, enjoying looking at themselves more than anything, and casey is a cutie-pie.

 

it's been so wonderful to make a connection through our photography, and now we've "met" each other.

 

thanks k, have a great day.

 

i couldn't wipe the smile off my face doing this, and it will remain there for the rest of the day.

  

**** i've been skyping all afternoon.

 

22/31 - january grateful

Nikki and Roz suggested a group shot of all the happibugs in attendance, so they all obediently gathered for a quick shot before running out across the grass to play again!

 

It was fun to see them all together!

there are more over here

 

there are loads so i promise not to bore you with them all!

This over-the-top, wildly pink & gold ballroom is located in the famous Madonna Inn San Luis Obispo, CA. Mrs. Madonna loved pink and incorporated into every part of the hotel & restaurant We took our granddaughter their for lunch on Friday and she loved it!! There are 2 bars and a large dance floor and it really is something to see. I thought this would work for the split tone challenge.

Of course I did it OVER THE TOP to match this OVER THE TOP ballroom.

**Side note: I have a friend whose father was head carpenter at The Madonna Inn and she celebrated her 16th birthday with a big private party in this ballroom.

 

Don't be afraid, take a peek, the guest rooms are each decorated with a different motif. Just click on "Rooms" at the top of the page. It is a beautiful property!!

Hey my great flickr friends ;-)!

It has been awhile... somehow all my attempts to end my "ghost state" here have failed ;-) and I'm very sorry about that!! I definitely miss you and your work! And I always learned so much from you...! Therefore I'll try to appear at least from time to time, probably it won't be possible to comment on your work and to post my stuff regularly - or as regular as it has been in the past - but we'll see ;-)...

I'm going to post two iPhone videos, one (mostly) of SF, one of AZ (Phoenix, Sedona, Flagstaff...) where I've spent 2,5 weeks in May.

And I definitely left my heart on this side of the world.......... (and 3 min. aren't long enough for sentimental memory videos, btw. :-))..!!).

Thanks a lot to all for watching and for your patience in general! I'll try my best to visit your photo streams asap! ;-). P. S.: Just looked at the videos on flickr and am definitely shocked and a bit frustrated and sad about the bad quality! Not sure how much they have compressed them, but the difference to the original ones is immense... I'm very sorry... I wouldn't have posted them in such a bad quality, especially the time lapse parts are totally blurred... thanks a lot for your kindness and encouragement despite that, my dear flickr friends... how good that I've taken more than 2000 pics with my camera during my time there :-)...... :-))

Just Enough, just enough for you to want to touch his hand or steal his cookie..I don't think he would let you though.

Ok, I had a great day!!! I went to the barbecue and caught up with a friend, then afterwards I went to dinner with several friends... The conversation was great, but the food was mediocre, still a lot of fun though! After dinner we bowled and I did pretty well. I bowled 4 games:

 

First game: 175

Second game: 136

Third game: 202

Fourth game: 157

------------------------

Total: 670

------------------------

Average: 168

------------------------

 

Hope that everyone else had a great day!! I'm going to bed now... We got home late and it's now almost 6 am... I'll catch up with you all later on today!! Take care!!
