In the last post I suggested that you think of a color and then focus on it for the week. Sometimes the color just comes to me, and the fifth week of January was about seeing red. Maybe it was … Continue reading

December week 1 – First Light Tribute to Creative Freedom
The interplay between lines, curves and light is the basic ingredient for photography. One of my favorite locations to work these elements into an engaging composition is San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts. Dawn is a good time to begin … Continue reading
