Just One Week to Workshop

Are you wanting to take great photos with your smartphone? I’ll teach you the secrets of capturing great photographs and simple photo editing techniques to make them stand out from the crowd. 

Join me in Corvallis, Oregon in the afternoon on Saturday, September 12 with your iPhone or Android phone, and you’ll learn some skills. More details and registration links are available here.

Today I’m sharing some recent images of my kitties, created using my iPhone and the techniques and apps you will learn in the workshop. These are a great example of the immediacy the phone camera enables in my imagery. If I had to run off and get my big camera, these images would not exist.

Bath Time!

We are back from our lovely week in England, where we visited Bath, York and London. What a beautiful country! Buildings out of children’s story books, the fastest moving clouds I have ever seen, and everything was in English. Imagine! That might sound silly, but I wasn’t quite prepared for “foreign” travel in my own language, after traveling so much where the languages are different. The English language is the same yet so different in the UK. And some of the accents – they might well have been speaking a foreign tongue for what we understood!

Of all of the places we visited, Bath was our favorite. I loved the Bath stone buildings, the interesting doors, windows with flowers, rows upon rows of chimneys and the town at night. So much great history, from the Romans and earlier, to Jane Austen (I have to go re-read some books now).

When we found out the Roman Baths were open late I knew I wanted to visit in the evening, for the lights on the water. It turned out perfect – good light, fewer people – much better all around for me. You can almost transport yourself back in time with this image, imagining the baths in the Roman times. But not quite. The windows of the building behind, the signs, the walls – all subtle elements of modern day. An interesting juxtaposition of old and new, coming together in one pleasing composition. Hmmmm, that might just describe England as well!

Walking through Time

Brandon walking on a Roman road in Nice, France. Two thousand years ago, other kids walked on this same road. People came and went on their daily lives. So many people, so many stories, so much time.

There is such a different concept of time and history here in Italy and Europe. When we see and experience things like this road first hand, it makes me feel like we are such babies in the US in a historical sense. Makes me wonder what will last of our country and culture that we have today. The Romans were such a mighty empire, and now all that is left is the remnants and rocks. When you think about it, we wouldn’t even have that much left of our everyday lives. Our building materials are much less permanent. The knowledge that has been gained through generations of human history could easily be lost completely, if some gigantic natural or human disaster occurred across the globe.

We are but a blink in the eye of time. Isn’t it interesting, what a different perspective just walking on an ancient rode can give?
