Kid Pics

I photographed my grand nephew and niece this morning and it was quite an interesting shoot. It started out well and then the fun began as you can see in the last photograph. Can't wait to do it all over again. Yikes! What am I saying?

Photoshop 101 - The Class

Today was the second class meeting for Photoshop 101 at the Beloit Fine Arts Incubator. I have 12 students with one more to join us in February. Class is going well from my perspective. I'm happy to be in front of a room full of students again after eight years.

Art is What You Make of It

Trying a new filter in Photoshop today on an older image.

Yo-Yo Ma

I photographed two of the four musicians who preformed at the Inauguration today; Itzhak Perlman and Yo-Yo Ma. Yo-Yo looks much older now. Itzhak was doing a bit for patients at Strong Hospital when he was in town for a concert at the Eastman Theater. I didn't get a good photo of him but here's one of Yo-Yo-Ma. Yo-Yo Ma was there for the same reason and was conducting a master class at the Eastman School of music.

Banjo Girl

Another photo of DeeAnn taken in my "studio" in Arkansas.

Still Not Shooting

Still haven't pulled the camera out as I'm working on my Photoshop 101 course material. The first session was this past Saturday and I had nine participants. It was GREAT! I really like being back in front of a class.By February I'll have 13 participants! So here's a photo from my time in Arkansas of my friend DeeAnn, a great fiddle and banjo player. I did this shot in my so called studio, a small, narrow room off the garage.

Not Much Photography

I haven't been taking a lot of photos recently. My time has been spent working on the course material for Photoshop 101 which begins this Saturday, the 17th, and runs for six weeks. Here's a screen shot of the presentation I'm working on. Can't wait to start the class.

Jelly Fish for Emily

Emily is headed out to Cal State Monterey Bay for the semester and we were talking this morning about the Monterey Bay Aquarium so I dug out these photos from a visit in 2000.

Baby Brayden

My friend's new grandson Brayden. He's happy about the New Year!

The Opening

A few photos from last night's opening of The Magic of Light exhibit at the Image City Photography Gallery. These were taken before the crowds showed up. It was a successful opening night and at one point was elbow to elbow. Had a great time and saw some Rochester friends who showed up. I was the center of some attention because I came out from Wisconsin.
