Temporary Beach




The sunset light makes this look like Autumn.





I sometimes walk to a local public boat ramp nearby.  After lots of wind the last few days, the tides were extremely low and a huge beach appeared.  The first photo was taken April 16th, followed by April 26th both near sunset and the next 2 photos were taken a few days later on May 1st from virtually the same place.  Add a few palm trees and it could be from the Caribbean!

Tulip Still Lifes

I bought some tulips from the grocery store, not knowing what color they would be from curbside pickup.  Tulips don’t grow well in our yard, so I thought it would be fun to photograph some.  I played with still lifes using 2 flashes and a flashlight on black velvet.


This was about shapes.


I shined a flashlight on the tulip and tried to get a reflection in the lens ball.


I used a red flashlight pointed at the bowl.


And played with black and white.


Just playing with 3s. 3 groups, 3 books
