Photographing Blackberries | Sacramento Still Life Photographer
I love this time of year in northern California for many reasons. But one big reason is because the farmers' markets are stuffed full of all the fresh, yummy produce you can imagine!
Disappearing into Still Life
The calm of feeling unattached to the sense of self while so absorbed in the work becomes a creator's persona. I am not aware of myself nor my surroundings when I am immersed in the frame I am laboring over. I mentally disappear into Still Life photography.
Milky Way and Waterfalls | Northern California
A few years ago on a road trip north, I managed to stop to photograph the Milky Way and a few waterfalls. I was on my way to attend a workshop in the Mount Rainier National Park in Washington. Despite there being so little rain and snow in northern California the previous winter, the waterfalls did not disappoint. And, the Milky Way, well, it's always awesome!
Bachelor Buttons | Dried Purple Flowers
Fresh in my garden, bachelor buttons self-seed every year. They make beautiful subjects for still life when fresh or dried.
Visiting Roan Mountain | northern California landscape photographer
Several summers ago was a whirlwind. And, it all started with a trip to North Carolina to visit and photograph with my friends Kathy Roberts and Jennifer Carr. Kathy opened her beautiful home to us and created a photographer's dream schedule for us beginning with Roan Mountain on our first full day there.
