Day #11 Just passed through Reno on our way to Bozeman, Mt. The moonrise was spectacular and the lights of Reno were perfect for a few drive-by shots. Now, here I am in the car. Husband is driving and I have the full moon over my shoulder. The shots tonight are without any post-editing —…

A Photo a Day: What good is a challenge if it doesn’t challenge you?
I almost missed it. But if you’re on the West Coast, today is still: DAY #10 I’ve been so upset and heartbroken since the news out of Nevada hit yesterday morning that I couldn’t get my brain wrapped around taking any pictures. I kept wondering what images ground us, what do we do that centers…
One Photo A Day: Peace
Day #9 Peace Heed Sunday evenings ~ Peaceful stretch of body, mind ~ Quiet reflection. I was ready to post this as soon as I got up, but my phone announced the news out of Las Vegas and I am brokenhearted and sick over how broken and sick we are as a country. May…
A Photo a Day: A Tree Mystery
Day #9 We have a large tree outside that, every day for the past month, looks like it has been through a terrible storm — branches and leaves litter our driveway and fall on our cars. Thing is, we’ve had no storms — or wind, for that matter. Meanwhile, our driveway and our cars are…
A Photo a Day: Finding Autumn on the Ridge
Day #8 Our Friday night choice was either taking in a movie or taking a hike — and after a long, emotional week, hiking our nearby ridge was just what the doctor ordered. The trail was steep and the skies were clear (even if the sunset was not as glorious as I’d hoped for). Autumn…
A Photo a Day: In between cake and song
DAY #7 Don’t have much time to write anything clever or heartfelt or funny this morning. Busy sometimes takes over. But as I mentioned in my Day #6 post, it was my daughter’s birthday . . . and so, we had the requisite balloons and flowers and cake. Mostly, though, I put aside the camera…
A Photo a Day: Playgrounds and heartstrings
DAY #6 Today is my youngest daughter’s 17th birthday and I miss my little girls. They just arent little anymore. One is in college and way too busy to call and the other is a HS senior, getting in all the lasts of everything she can before she heads off to school herself. This letting…
A Photo a Day: Finally seeing what I don’t see every single day
Headed home to grab some lunch, but I don’t have much time today before I have to be back at school for a meeting — but with my camera slung over my shoulder, as I climbed out of my car, I suddenly saw the basketball net . . . the fire hydrant . . ….
A Photo a Day: My classroom supplies in black and white. Mostly.
Day #3 (and let’s face it . . . I’m really not taking just one shot a day because once I have my camera in hand, it’s kind of irrisistable . . . but I’m not knocking the idea because heck, it’s only Day 3. I might need a few single shot days!) Today, I…
A Photo a Day: a few minutes in the garden for a delicious blast of color
Day #2 I knew we had tomatoes, and maybe some greens, in the withering vegetable garden, so I grabbed my camera and a bowl. The zucchini and the eggplants were a surprise — as were all the green lemons weighing down the branches of the tree. Only one is just about yellow, but the rest…
A Photo A Day: MOMA, cityscapes, and a walk back home
Day #1. My challenge of a photo a day started with an easy day. Who doesn’t take their camera on a trip to the City, let alone a when you’re spending time at a museum? We had tickets to the Edvard Munch exhibit at MOMA and then took some time to peruse through other galleries….
A Photo a Day: Another 30 Day Challenge
I bought this book, The Photographers Playbook, at the Oakland Museum not too long ago in the hopes that it would give me some creative ideas for my photography. It is chock full of imaginative and inspirational ideas to expand how I see the world. There is one thing that I must do more often…
