I think this would make a divine portrait. Rocco's coat is so many different shades of interesting.

UPDATE:

What do you think?

Biking the Bluegrass

DSC05243, originally uploaded by aunt.meeb.

My husband and I decided to participate in this year's Bike the Bluegrass to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. Though we are not professional cyclists, nor are we exceptionally skilled at fundraising, we really enjoyed the trip and were able to complete the 125+ miles over two days without injury. I got into the habit of wearing my camera around me as I rode. I like how the composition is slanted - it represents my attempts to take pictures while riding. Dangerous, yes...but in my defense, the roads were all but deserted as we sped along from Louisville to Frankfort, and then from Frankfort to Lexington.

New Mexico

Don't let the chili peppers fool you; New Mexico was so much colder than we expected. But what an amazing amount of inspiration within a two-mile radius of our downtown Santa Fe hotel! Such a different climate, culture, landscape and color palette than Kentucky.

Scenes from California

I love the above picture. It captures, abstractly, two people I love: my husband and my good friend Karisse. Eric stands like that, with hands on hips, quite often. Karisse is doing what good "El Lay-ers" do and showing us around Hollywood. Her painted toenails show the vibrant nature of her being.

The other shots in this set are mostly compositional in nature. I hope you enjoy the bold colors and striking features of California as much as I did.

Out the Window

So many of these shots are experiments in composition, and are portraiture only in that they attempt to capture the personality of an organic being...in this case, Earth. 

These were taken on our trip out West to California and through Arizona to New Mexico.

Etsy-ness!

We'll see what happens, buuut...



I'm on Etsy now! Check it out and let me know what you think. Too pricey? Not good enough? Just right?

What else can I sell? I want to go to France this year!
