Tango at Mammouth Lake

The water is calming.
The sun's warmth soaks into my back.
Blue lines of infinity.

Pacifica Pier

I have not been inspired to want to pull out my tripod in years until a few mornings ago.  I have been passing by this pier blanketed in fog and not stopping until now.  I didn't have my tripod than however I will next time!  I just held my breath and rested my camera on my car etc.  I like the way this one turned out because it is so painterly and muted

Update blog......




I love the fog.  There is a muted color palette fog creates.  I am honing in on what I want.
There's nothing to soothe the soul like a full moon at the beach with good friends.

William Albert Allard is one of my favorite photographers.  His use of light is absolutely beautiful.  He says he "feels" light.  Here's the link to some of his images.  Please scroll down to the bottom and download the "info".  This will give you a chance to look at the other images.

Water, dogs and letting go.




I find solace by and in the sea, I always have.  Here are the images from Wednesday Sept 10, 2008.  I decided to shoot that day after seeing the photos of the dogs and the sea on our new blog.  I felt inspired and happy to just walk out and see.  I have included an image of my dog Alex who passed in October 2007.  I miss him everyday and he is the reason I am in San Francisco, surrounded by dogs and surf.  My heart is in all of this so deeply that I couldn't shoot for quite some time without falling apart from the inside out.  Now, I am seeing differently as I lost a companion who kept me walking with a sense of innocence and joy.  I see through different eyes now and have lost a best friend and gained a world of knowledge.
