Another ARTpool Gallery shop window shot from Saturday. Normally I convert all my photos to black and white, with the exception of shots like this where the color becomes a statement. For some reason I am inordinately fond of umbrellas right now. I’ve bought some umbrella rubber stamps and always notice pictures that have umbrellas in them. The pink in this one is perfect, especially with the black and white polka dots which are a perennial favorite. Let your smile be your umbrella is a pretty good idea…I’ve heard worse. Have a happy one.

Modern shamaness with chandelier antlers and moon

I spent a very happy Saturday photographing the amazing shop window display at ARTpool Gallery on Central Avenue in St. Pete, FL. Marina Williams outdid herself with creative content spanning angel wings, the reindeer chandelier hat shown in the picture (I believe was made by the incredible Katie Hazzard who also is a resident artist of ARTpool), whimsical hats, jewelry and vintage fashion and shoes. The combo was a photographers dream. I love shooting evocative shop windows because I have a passion for reflection shots. This shot shows the massive tree that sits in front of the gallery, reflected in the window at the right height to turn Marina’s handmade tissue pompom into a gorgeous full moon to highlight our modern sunglass sportin’ shamaness. The whole thing is ethereal, surreal and wonderful all at the same time. I am a happy girl.
Happy holidays and New Year!

I hope everyone has enjoyed the season so far. The solstice here (Florida coast) was hot and humid but with a nice breeze and blue skies. This image is a solstice card I did for 2006, it is completely digital and the original photos were taken of an old church in rural Virginia. My husband Bob took the photo of the moon. The words “Is your life a channel of blessing?” were from an old hymnal. May 2012 be a year of blessings for you, yours and all of us.
Peace,

Shadow image, found birdy

A couple of years ago as I went through my Florida room I noticed this beautiful cast shadow on the wall. There was a bird knick knack sitting on a shelf and the sun was hitting it just the right way to cast this lovely shadow. I was lucky to find my camera in time to record it. Note: if you haven’t captured shadow images yet, time is of the essence. The little blurries around the bird are actually light moving…it happens that fast. I save all my found shadow pictures, even blurries and bad compositions. I do what I can to photoshop the formats but the haziness is left unattended. This type of photography brings me such joy.
