Different Angles on the Same Bouquet

Photography is all about the light as you know

Recently I photographed the discarded Christmas Tree along the sidewalk and the direction of light made a significant difference.

Found these two photos taken in NYC at my sisters apartment which illustrate the exact same concept. Moving around for the overall light is one result but the first one in the mottled light gives a dramatic shadow and a whole different feel.

Snow Shoot in Sunshine and Shade

It was about 14 degrees but my app said it felt like 2 degrees and yet the sun was out and the sky blue.

I’d just arrived from Pittsburgh. The roads were clear so I made it in about 3 1/2 hours to Clintonville Ohio for lunch with Charlie and Laura.

They’d just pulled into the driveway and we were going inside to warm up. He loves the snow.

Just noticing the difference in the light in full sun and then on the back porch deck in the shade.

Gingkos in Cloud and Sun

These ginkgos are the most wonderful color.

But look how the light changes the very same trees.

18th Art All Night 2015 Pittsburgh PA

Just got back from this wild event, the 18th ART ALL NIGHT in Lawrenceville.

Saturday morning I went down and registered a photograph that is hanging there now and I’ll pick it up Sunday afternoon. This is the first year I’ve participated. What a crowd!

Here are some of the patrons waiting to get into the warehouse to see the hundreds of artworks displayed. There are artists creating “LIVE ART” that will be auctioned or sold at noon Sunday.
