I'm so glad you found me! I'm a San Francisco photographer, and this blog charts my journey in the ever-evolving world of photography. One of the things I love about photography is that it's a journey, not a destination. I'm constantly learning and meeting wonderful people. Please peruse the blog to your heart's content, then check out my website and feel free to contact me! (I love hearing from you.)

Black and White

I recently downloaded the trial version of Nik's Silver Efex plugin for Lightroom (I have 4 days out of the 15 days left), and I have to confess to a completely new appreciation for the intricacies of a good black and white photo. I still have a lot to learn (and only 4 days to do it, better get cracking!), but there's something about the subtleties of the tones that just gets me. And I really enjoy trying out all the different color filters to see what kind of effects they might give me.

Anyway, here are some black and whites from a recent shoot, and then a few more color images to give a nice balance to it all.

As always, I am forever interested in your opinion. If you, like my boyfriend, 'don't really like the black and whites,' I won't hold it against you. I think.

Amazing dress, right?
