Your Daily Photograph! and me...
Just received notification that one of my images was selected by YourDailyPhotograph. Check out the site to see which one! I will post the image after they do.
This is a cool deal where the Duncan Miller Gallery sends out three images a day that are available at a special price for a limited time. Artists from Kertesz to Pafford ;-) - are featured. Incredible images that are so enjoyable to look at at 9:00 in the morning when the email arrives. I look forward everyday to the collection that has been chosen. I purchased one myself!

The pear farmer
Our road has a history that is steeped in the farming tradition, long before it was claimed by the vineyards. We have lived on an apple orchard that was probably over 100 years old. Eric's grandpa harvested hay. There are remnants of Italian plums as well. And the man up the road, John, had a pear orchard.
I loved his little old house and the old unkempt orchard. Always a cat on the porch and a vintage antennae on the roof. I have a VanDyke that I did a few years ago of the house, that I love.
He died some months ago and I was very sad. I think he was approaching 100 and lived by himself, with his daughter and her husband coming by daily to care for him so that he could stay in his house.
The family let me go in and take a few pictures. I saw his favorite hats. I saw his old claw foot tub. His numerous clocks all telling different times. And his windows, each looking directly out onto a tree. Like they were planted for that reason.
These images are to honor John and the beauty he brought to us.

La Piccola Raccolta - The Little Harvest
These images are now available through Saret Gallery in Sonoma. Amy Saret has an incredible collection of master works from iconic photographers. Visiting her gallery is like visiting a museum exhibition of photography.
My images are a few chosen from the series on The Little Harvest - or La Piccola Raccolta.
The small harvests in Sonoma Valley. Originally, these were part of a larger body of work artfully exploring the harvesting of grapes in a small vineyard. Available as a folio or as individual images in limited editions.

Life in a ball
He owned ball number 3. He desired a larger space to share with someone but the balls were only made so big. She would have to get her own.

8609 Vicki dr.
As promised:
This photo cracks me up. I think my Grams was turning her head slightly because of the sun (Gramps always followed his rule of shooting with the sun behind him) but it makes her look like she is being coy or flirty and that coupled with this classic pose is just very funny.

Garry Winogrand at the SFMOMA
My friend, Carol, invited me to go to this show with her and it was nothing short of wonderful. There were so many images on display, some I had seen but many I had not. Beautiful day in San Francisco. Great company with just the right amount of discussion about art and family. There were quite a few other installations and it was all free today.
Just a very enjoyable Saturday. Thanks Carol!
And thanks to the lovely couple for their contribution to this image.

Inn at the Presidio
About a year ago I created some images for Inn at the Presidio. Now that hotel is featured in Conde Nast Traveler as one of the hottest new hotels in America. Wow, great job you guys!
As a very nice perk, my husband and I got to stay there and it was indeed lovely. I especially liked the art ;-). But I must say, the comfy bed gave the art a run for it's money.
I had not posted any of the photos but here are a few just to get an idea. The first one is in the main lobby and is huge. So fun to see your work printed really big. Thanks to Julie and Michael at Art Brokers Inc!

The Photo Review 2011
Stephen Perloff's Photo Review publication is out, and I am so thrilled to have two of my images included.
There is a fantastic article about women photographers and an interesting interview with the artist who's work won first prize for this competition. I wrote about this and included an image of his here.

The VanDyke
These few images are some of the first from my recent printing journey. They are very time intensive:
Hand-coated watercolor paper (coated twice) with VanDyke Brown solution - dry that. Make a proper negative using transparency paper; let that dry. Once everything is ready to go together you will expose the paper and negative together and probably make 4 prints in a day. Hope your negative was spot on...
Here are a few that are lovely. Each printing will produce a slightly different result depending on many factors. These were uploaded using my iPhone - good scan later today. But you get the idea.
