Heh. Came across this really cool, rusty, old foot bridge in one of my travels with The Hubs. Not part of a fancy park or anything, this is just along one of the many walk/bike paths in the ‘Lou, but this section didn’t look particularly well-maintained. Parts of the concrete were all broken up and […]

So, my darling daughter dreams of being a working actress. She’s actually very good. I know, every parent says that about their child. LOL But, her directors and her vocal teacher have high regard for her talent and she’s racking up quite an amateur resume already. And so, she needed some headshots and I needed […]
Since Jay so frequently likes to play in infrared, I thought I would give it a go in this shot of the stairway just past The Victorian Footbridge. LOL How weird is it that? I actually kind of like it. IR is definitely Jay’s bailiwick, but every once in a while, it’s fun to try […]
This is the real deal. An actual Victorian footbridge. It is such a charming element in a park full of charming and beautiful elements. Much more after the jump… This footbridge marks the original entrance to Forest Park and was built in 1885. It was renovated in 1994 by the Forest Park Forever Women’s Committee […]
After having missed this little gem of a park for the entirety of my 4+ decades on this earth, I found Reservoir Park to be completely charming! But, like I said before, this particular day was drizzly, gray, chilly, and nothing was in bloom yet, although we did have the charm of a nice lady […]
I get on these binges sometimes…Right now, I’m messing around a lot with black & white again. And, more often than you’d think, a completely uninspired shot in color becomes not so bad in black and white. I love perspective shots, and this is cool old staircase, but the day I took this picture, it […]
This past March, I was accepted into MySLArt’s “33March” Juried art show at The Old Orchard Gallery. After the opening reception, The Hubs and I went to get a late night cup of coffee and I snapped this “portrait” of him at the diner. With that skull ring he likes to wear, I jokingly called […]
This is made from a picture I took last summer and decided to turn into an art piece. It’s just outside the Missouri Botanical Gardens’ Japanese Garden. I took several, but this lent itself to creatively blowing out that section you can see through the opening and going for a soft, dreamlike feel… I am, […]
In Memorial Cemetery, as much as I was interested in the smaller, seemingly overlooked graves, there really are some impressive, beautiful headstones, full of history and information of the people that once lived in St. Genevieve. I actually edited two versions of this shot. Ultimately, I couldn’t decide if I preferred harkening to the past […]
I love taking pictures. Love it. Obviously, right? But, one of the things I like to do is to make things with those pictures. Yes, I like to frame and hang them, but I also like to use photography to create things – items to sell, or even just to create the feel of a […]
