Black and White Photography Day 4

Day 4 of my Black and White Photo Challenge and I had to post a pic of some of the dramatic clouds that flew past my window yesterday. From warm sun and bright sky to deep dark clouds, rain and high wind, it definitely felt like November.

The B&W Photo Challenge consists of posting B&W photos for 5 days and each day nominating someone to join the challenge. Today I would like to nominate David M. Small who is a fabulous photographer... and has been a family friend for over 50 years!

Thanks to Joie Moring for nominating me and to Kenda-Lee Gaynham, Heike  Grodecki and Dagmar Fleuren for playing along!

Black and White Day 3

Day 3 of my Black & White Photography Challenge and I am drawn to this mass of bicycles atop a van - the sculpture set off by the white washed wall behind.

Whenever I see large numbers of bicycles I'm immediately reminded of the Netherlands and my dear friend Dagmar Fleuren who tells me the question in Holland isn't 'do you have a bicycle?' but rather 'how many bicycles do you have?'.

I am nominating Dagmar to join the challenge - she is a true master of photography (if you want some amazing eye candy, visit her website). 

By the way, know anyone getting married? If you want a truly creative touch for wedding photography, it is completely worth it to fly her across the pond!

Black and White

It is Day 2 of my Black & White Photography Challenge (challenged by my dear friend Joie Moring) and I'm posting a photo of my handsome cat who has very graciously welcomed in another cat to his domain. This is a big deal for Cat #1 who is extremely territorial, picking fights with raccoons and big dogs who stray into his declared territory... and winning!

After 2 months of carefully introducing them bit by bit, Cat #1 allowed Cat #2 to wander through our house - and I caught them curled up together on my son's bed yesterday!

The B&W photography challenge includes posting a B&W photo each day for 5 days, and nominating someone else each day to join the challenge. I am nominating Heike Grodecki, not only for her amazing photography skills, but also because she is a neighbor who quite possibly lives within the sphere of Cat #1's declared territory!

Black and White

Joie Moring has nominated me to participate in a Black & White Photography Challenge in which nominees post one black & white image and nominate another to join the challenge each day for 5 days. So today I challenge the lovely Kenda-Lee Gaynham who has an amazing eye for detail, shape and value. For my first photo I'm sharing a bit of shell/rock/seaweed conglomerate I found on the beach and am holding at arms length.

Art Show at Flying Apron

My car is loaded with paintings to hang at Flying Apron in downtown Redmond! Thanks to my lovely boys who are on hand to help me dash paintings through the rain, hammer in picture hangers and set up the display.

Watch out Flying Apron - your walls are about to explode with color!
