Welcome to My View

Hello and welome to My View for Saturday, July 11, 2009.

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are having a nice weekend.

Today’s image is a another from Savannah taken in April of this year. After many days of rain in March and April, this beautiful sunset materialized over the Talmadge Memorial Bridge right outside of my hotel room. I’ve not seen such a lovely sunset from downtown Savannah before and ran out and down the street — barefoot — in order to capture a few shots before it disappeared.

It was a soft sunset. I followed the mood already set and softened it even more with use of the clarity slider in Camera Raw.

As always, your comments and critiques are most welcome. They make me a better photographer, aid my growth as a person and offer me new experiences.

Hello and welome to My View for Monday, July 14, 2008.

As most of you know, I spend a good bit of my time in Savannah in the spring and fall of each year teaching workshops. This lovely city has become a second home for me.

I’ve not been down for a visit since mid-May of this year. And, although it’s only been two months, I found myself sitting outside last night missing Savannah.

So many of the homes in the historic district have stairs that lead up to the front door of the home. As in most cities, sitting outside on the steps in the summer is a customary way to spend some time on a summer evening.

Looking through some images I’d taken on previous visits to Savannah last night, I found this one. I can easily imagine myself sitting outside on the steps on these summer evenings, soaking up the atmosphere that is Savannah. It’s not quite like being there, but I have an active imagination.

I hope that you are all enjoying your summer evenings on “your steps”.

Your comments and suggestions are most welcomed and help me grow as an artist and a person.

Thank you for visiting My View.

For those of you who are interested, I’ve started listing the 2009 Workshops. The Foundations in Photography for Women was such a success last year that I’m am offering it again for 2009. More listings will be posted in the next few weeks.

Hello everyone,

I hope you are having a great weekend.

Thank you very much for your patience with me as I’ve been traveling for the last week and a few days. I got home in the wee hours of the morning this morning. I managed to find a day or two to actually take a few photographs as we stopped for a couple of days on the way back.

In the next couple of days, I will process some of these images and have at least two posts for My View to catch up with the one I missed last week.

Have a great Saturday and Sunday!!!

Thank you for visiting My View.

Hello and thank you for your patience!!

Good Wednesday morning to you all,

I apologize for not yet posting an image this week. I just returned from the last of the spring photography workshops last night. The Street Portraiture workshop in Savannah was a wonderful experience and all of the participants made it so. Craig and I had a terrific time with each and every one of them.

I returned with a bit of a bug and am recovering from that. I will have a new image posted in the next day or two.

Thank you for your patience and for visiting My View.
