Off to a fresh start


Well, first work day of the new year and I've been organizing, catching up on updates from my some of my favorite photographers, and just generally looking out to the year before us. As for traveling, we are planning a trip to the beach in a couple of weeks. What, are we nuts? Winter at the beach? Well, we thought it would be a good time to do a little real estate research and perhaps get some innovative new photos. I did well last year selling my beach pictures at the beach, so perhaps I can get a new perspective in January.  So, I'm looking forward to our beach trip.
 
In February we're going to visit Austin, Texas. Hopefully we'll find a kinder, warmer climate. Again, we're researching where we'd like to live and Austin will bring us close to our first Grandchild.  Right now we're having fun exploring all alternatives. I can wear my "Keep Austin Weird" t-shirt and fit right in. After 18" of snow last week, Austin is looking better and better.

I'm thinking of trying out Savannah in March. Stay tuned.
All in all, I'm looking forward to new photographic opportunities and the chance to experience life at it's fullest. Meanwhile my husband is researching cruises where you save money by deciding last minute to take off.  Looks like this just might be a real great year!
Happy shooting!

Day Trip with my Daughter

Image
Between Covid 19 and moving from Texas to Maryland, I really haven't seen much of the world this year and that is hard on this travel-loving girl.  Here I am living an hour away from Baltimore and Washington, DC and we are stuck in an unending state of quarantine.  I needed to break out so I asked my daughter if she'd take an early morning trip to Annapolis with me. "How early?" she wanted to know. She is not normally a photographer and, with two young children, unaccustomed to our "pre-dawn" starts.  "As early as you can," I tried and she and the kids showed up slightly after 7 am.  Popsie stayed with the kids who grumbled that they just wanted to go back to sleep, but Nova was game for a new adventure and we happily drove 35 minute southeast to the beautiful city of Annapolis.  Court house showed some signs of life. Mask covered guards stood at the door. Maryland's capital city, located on the Chesapeake Bay is a lovely, his...

Visiting Switzerland - Zurich

Image
My husband and I recently had the opportunity to join a group of photographers, led by Joe Brady and his wife, Diane Bollen , to visit five different cities in Switzerland - Zurich, St. Moritz, Zermatt, Grindelwald and Lucern.  Despite never hearing of these places before now, we had such an enjoyable trip that I want to share this experience with you. I plan to write 5 blogs, one for each city, to show some of the beauty we encountered and remember this wonderful trip. We arrived in Zurich very early on a Saturday morning in June. We chose to go straight to sleep in an airport hotel, to ward off jet lag. When we woke in early afternoon, we were right near the trains which were in a giant "mall" building with all kinds of shops. We asked which stop we needed to get off, and proceeded to navigate the train system to see some of Zurich's sites.  The streets were festive with vendors and people shopping.  After walking around and trying to figure out where we needed to meet...

Doing my best to capture Austin's weirdness

Image
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. I discovered an awesome PhotoWalk yesterday thanks to Photographers Adventure Group and Trover . The concept of Trover was brand new to me - it's a phone app that helps you share life's hidden gems, through photography, with others, and it is evidently very popular in other places in the world and is becoming a hit around here. So, the walk encouraged me to use my iphone as a camera way more than I would normally use it. That didn't stop me from taking close to 300 images with my camera - but it did open my eyes to the social networking capabilities of iphone photography and one of my fellow walkers also showed me some outrageous editing capabilites it has as well. We were instructed to upload our photos as we took them, giving a bit of a description and posting them to the Trover site. This was a technological challenge for me, but I love a good challenge and, at the end of the day I actually won a pretty cool p...
