Not strictly black & white today, this one is more of a sepia. I thought it fitting for a display of an old dry goods or hardware store. But, I just loved this big, bold word up in the left-hand corner. Something a little old-timey for Friday, hmmm? (I would love for you to come […]

I took these at the request of The Hubs, who is himself a musician, as you probably know. And, of course, we completely disagree on which is the best of the two. LOL First, my favorite: See, if you know, you know I would like my guitar surrounded by nice symmetrical lines and balance. Like so. […]
Last week, I did 34 headshots of the cast and crew of “Grease,” the fall musical being put on by The Girl Child’s theater arts department (she’s been cast as Sandy, thanks for asking. LOL Another step towards her career treading the boards, as they say.) The request was for the headshots to be in […]
This weekend, The Hubs and I went down to Union Station for The Strange Folk Festival. It’s one of my favorite festivals of the year. This year, however, the festival moved from a park in a small town in Illinois to St. Louis’ Union Station! Which gave us the excuse to not only shop our favorite […]
Sometimes, I just can’t resist playing with the vaguely Gothic architecture and details one can find in St. Louis. The Hubs really likes these street lamps and kept pestering me to get pictures of them. So I did. Heh. Then, of course, I just had to play with it. Black and white seemed right. A little […]
It’s been a successful week in my house already! And it’s only Monday! First off, I submitted and was accepted into MySLArt.org‘s ’33September’ juried art exhibition hosted by The Old Orchard Gallery! This show, I did a quadtych of black & white abstracts! These are the pictures I’m submitting! And, while I’m busy preparing for the art […]
(Note: I had this ready to go, but I forgot to schedule it to post! Brainfarts are bad, m’kay?)The Missouri Mines have provided some great shots to work on with various techniques and this is one of them! A little black and white work! So what do you think of this? Do you like it? […]
So, I’m in a bit of an artsy mood and I decided to pull out some of my old shots that I never did much with. This is one I decided to make an abstract. Can you guess what it is? Heh, it’s a detail of the exposed corner of a staircase at the St. […]
So, today, I’m going to be wading through a few hundred shots we took at the St. Louis Renaissance Faire this past weekend, but in the meantime, I thought I would share with you a barn I ran across after an engagement shoot we had a few weeks back. I have to admit, I spotted […]
I had two options with this shot. 1) Climb a hill that was way overgrown and probably infested with snakes and giant flesh-eating bugs or 2) opt for an “artsy” perspective, while staying relatively clean and safe on the gravel road below the mountain of death standing between me and said abandoned house. Sooooo yeah…I […]
