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.)

Phoebe, Part 2

I just loved shooting Phoebe.

I'm pretty sure that you can see why!














Thanks Phoebe. What a great, fun shoot.

More Cats from the ACC

More cats from the shelter. This was an exceptionally sweet bunch.

This one's Sparta. He was so fun and playful, and purred almost the whole way through the time we were taking photos of him.




And this is Greystone. He was quite playful as well.




These two lovelies are Chloe and Judah, a super sweet brother and sister pair. They were just loves. Hard to photograph because they just wanted to come hang out with us. So friendly.



It wasn't easy to get them in a shot together, but we did it! Aren't they cute?



This one is Judah.



And this lovely is Stat Cat. Quite a name, and quite a cat. Also just a love. Whoever adopts him will be pretty lucky.



The last one was little Gracie. She's tiny, and what a sweetheart! Such a great poser, too.






So, feel like adopting anyone today?

Phoebe

Phoebe, you're so beautiful it kills me.


More coming soon!

Blossoms: Black and White vs. Color

Usually I prefer color. I've heard it said that film photography did black and white better, but digital photography does color better. Your mileage may vary, of course, and I'm no expert at film photography, but the fact is, I see in color.

And so usually I like color better, and I don't even think about black and white.

But I was playing in Lightroom and I happened to turn these flower shots into black and white and something about them grabbed me.

Of course, I like the color too.



For me, the black and white feels completely different. Colder, lonelier maybe, but no less beautiful for all of that. And the color is just kind of flaunting.





Technically this last shot isn't one to write home about, but I'm also enjoying it right now.

So which do you prefer? Black and white, or color?

A Shelter Menagerie

Something to start your week off with: a mixture of cats, kittens, bunnies, guinea pigs, and hamsters.

More than you could ask for, I know. Enjoy the fluffiness!
