Yep! I did. I’m pretty much an introvert, but I did finally enter three of my pictures into MySLArt’s “33February” juried art exhibit and the opening reception was held this past Friday, February 28th! Originally, the show was supposed to be on the 20th, but the winter storm warnings we were under had the organizers […]

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, […]
A week ago yesterday, we were in the midst of a sleet and snow day, so, of course, I grabbed the new lens The Hubs got for me for Valentine’s Day, pulled the four-wheel drive out of the garage, and hit the streets. It certainly wasn’t a wasted day, though, since I got this! Seriously, […]
Sometimes, on a freezing, snowy, dreary winter’s day, you have a total brainfart and think that it’s a good idea to jump in the car, drive for an hour, go take pictures along the banks of the Mississippi River. On the upside though, if you can keep your hands still enough, you find neat old […]
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 […]
A couple weeks ago, we had our first paying gig of 2015 – and a returning customer, at that! Not a bad way to kick off the year! I am going to take that as a harbinger of good things! One of our favorite clients, this family is always fun, gracious, up for anything, and […]
In St. Louis, it doesn’t get much more Gothic than the Lemp family and their brewery and mansion. The history of the family, their haunted mansion, and their brewery reads like Gothic fiction. The Lemp family name still towers over St. Louis today, although the family has long since passed into history and mystery. If […]
Today’s Gothic installment is of the cemetery nearby to yesterday’s Gothic gates. Perfect pairing, isn’t it? This is from the national cemetery. The symmetry of the rows of historic – and heroic – graves is simply breathtaking. You can purchase prints of this work HERE. (I would love for you to come back to visit, […]
Today’s Gothic installment is a gorgeous gate that located in Jefferson Barracks National Park. I love these old gates. So, of course, I Gothic’d the heck out of them! Admittedly, I edited the very dickens out of this to get the effect I wanted. The gates themselves aren’t actually in use. They are historic and […]
This picture almost got tossed. I’m sure there are some out there who think it still should be. It’s imperfect. The focus is sketchy. But, there is something about it I ended up really liking, after messing with it for several hours to see if it was even salvageable. This is one of those times […]
