October is Breast Cancer Awareness

2008-10-21T10:23:00.004-06:00

I am aware that breast cancer can strike women in their twenties, thirties, forties, fifties and sixties. Early detection through our yearly mammograms are so important to our well being.

My mother is a breast cancer survivor, and was diagnosed through her yearly mammogram.

I am part of an organization to help women and their families have memories through photography. Our mission is to support the cause and celebrate life. We are celebrating life through charitable photography sessions for survivors and their supporters. If you've been touched by breast cancer please contact me for your free session... If you choose to donate to this fabulous organization you can go directly to their website at http://www.thinkpinkphotography.com/.

Beautiful Colorado!!!

2008-10-08T15:45:00.003-06:00

Well, friends, I haven't posted any new pictures lately, but that doesn't mean I haven't been taking any... I have!! Lots of them, in fact I just bought myself a new lense; 28-135mm... Fabulous!! It's been fun and entertaining to see what this fast IS lens can do. For some, it's a lens for portrait photography, in my case that was the reason for the lens. A picture of Ashley is posted; beautiful Ashley. A senior with an attitude; gotta love that...

Flowers hang along the fence at the townhomes in Rockrimmon that had burned to the ground. Ashes lye where homes were. Burned mattresses and a lone cell phone are present in the rubble. Families homeless due to a tragic event not known to the public. Memories lost in the aftermath. Families having to make other arrangements in hope of their home being rebuilt.

These were material posessions, but for some, memories... It can all be taken within seconds; for these people 1 hour. How sad and for what? We'll never know...

A white swan swimming in the lake at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. Graceful elegance is what I think of when i see this swan.

Beautiful, mysterious Colorado sky... A storm rising around us and passes over... The result - a sky with shades of gray and pink; framed between the trees.

Design Happens

Design has become a passion of mine... Bedrooms, living rooms, guest rooms... I am pledging to make good design happen in my home as well as others. I am learning to be an interior designer and will be able to make an impact in the design world..I've discovered design and am inspired by those already doing it in the industry.

Flowers

2008-03-21T23:47:00.001-06:00

I love to shoot pics of flowers; any flowers.... Here's a few...

It's March... Can you believe it's spring already? What do we think of when we think of spring? Birds, snow melting, things budding, grass turning green... any other thoughts?

We recently had a discussion on expressing ourselves through our lenses. How can you express yourself through your lense? When you take a picture how does it make you feel when you look at it? Excited, passionate, beautiful, joy, in awe.... Try capturing an image that makes you feel something when you look at it.. Here's mine.. I am in awe of this beautiful little granddaughter of mine...

Decorating Project

2008-02-21T21:04:00.007-07:00

Well, I have finally redecorated our guest room, formally our daughter's room... I spent the morning painting the room a refreshing green color, then went shopping.... Fun? Yes, it was. We decorated it in green, brown and gold... I have added pics so you can see this room.. Let me know what you think. Pictures say 1000 words, don't you agree? We decided to go downtown and took a picture of a street lamp attached to the side of an old building. Perfect! I needed that one element for my room. A Black & White shot it became, dressed in a black frame and a black mat, against the green wall. Pop, it went....

I challenge you to to take a picture and make it part of your special room... How artwork adds drama to a space is what photography is all about.

Winter Scape

2008-02-04T21:24:00.001-07:00

Well, here we are in February already, can you believe it? The snow is so beautiful; it creates quite the picture when resting on the branches. This was taken right outside my window.

When taking pictures where the sun is harsh, remember your images will appear overexposed. So I try to take advantage of the overcast days where the sun isn't so obvious.

Enjoy!

Our Starbucks Terminology

2008-02-03T22:50:00.000-07:00

Ok, this doesn't really have anything to do with photography, but the picture sums up where we were...

My honey and I decided that a trip to Starbucks was in the agenda for the day. As we mosied up to the counter, we ordered our favorites; a soy chai for me and a non-fat, no foam latte for him. We found our table to enjoy our beverages at when Dale looks at me and says, "Did I just hear him order a Vroom?" A vroom? I said.

Next time you find yourself in the mood for some great coffee at Starbucks, order yourself a Vroom; Verona coffee with room for cream....

Enjoy

January 1st Picture...

2008-01-20T22:36:00.001-07:00

January is a cold time of year where we find ourselves wrapped up in blankets by the fireplace. A hot bowl of oatmeal, snow covered pinecones hanging from a pine tree, and animals that linger in the new fallen snow are all a part of winter. The sun can be pretty harsh at times during winter due to the glare of the sun against the snow. These images will appear overexposed. So, I like to take advantage of the overcast days where the sun isn't so high in the sky and the glare isn't so bright.

The photo I chose was of a pinecone, covered with new fallen snow, hanging on a pine tree. I love this picture and seem to take a new one each year; of course, it doesn't change any because it comes from the same tree.

Always remember, when taking pictures in the snow, keep your camera away from the moisture; a great way to ruin it. Also carry extra batteries with you because the coldness will run your batteries lower than normal, very quickly.

Enjoy ....
