Just a few shots along the way…
I just signed up for a new micro stock place called Fotolia which supplies the stock images for the images available to Creative Cloud members using the Adobe products. It’s a subscription based service much like Shutterstock but the assets are easily maintained through the cloud membership.
I have to say since they liked my chibat photo I kinda like them too! They accepted this and few other photos that I submitted as well. Click to visit the gallery if you want to see more.
I was visiting the state chancellors website for some information and was greeted with one of my images from this last graduation on their home page. I thought it was cool too 🙂
Just got a couple more images approved for sale in my Shutterstock account under plants. The bottle gourd I actually grew myself. I was quite proud of it actually since dealing with the aphids and powdery mildew (here I blog about that) was a LOT of work.
The elephant ear I wish was my plant but it was taken in a greenhouse in Golden Gate Park. It was pretty humid in there. I took the picture and then want bursting out so I could breath!
It’s been a while since I posted anything to do with my garden. It’s been a little unloved lately but I was pleased it gave me this little harvest. I was testing one of my flash heads and noticed this palette of earthy colors pegging to be photographed.
I got published in a little book called The Optimist. It was funded by an innovation grant by the Contra Costa Community College district open to staff and students. I created the logo, a poem was selected and they selected one of my photos for the back. That was kind of a nice surprise.
You can flip through the book here 🙂
I had a little fun with trying to shoot the moon near the water tower in Brentwood Ca. The color purple I think was a mistake but I kinda like it. I guess Bob Ross was right when he said there are no mistakes, just happy accidents 🙂
This is my first time on display at the Brentwood Community Center Public Wall Art Exhibit. They have such a nice brand new building with a big hook and wire area to display art. I currently have 7 pieces on display.
There will be a light reception with refreshments on Thursday March 10, 2016 from 6:30 – 7pm at 35 Oak Steet.
There will be four artist on display, Cheryl Breitenbucher, Jerome Gibson, Annette Seabury and myself. The display will run through the end of March. I would love to see you there!
