After last week's theme: Minimalist, this week we are presented with Black and White.
And we have been explicitly asked not to do any kind of color pop - keep it all in whites, greys, and blacks, please.
I can't photograph another Calla Lily; I won't.

This week my photography challenge is "Hello From…" which is a way of showing where all 2000+ of us are from.
So what says San Diego without being cliche? Or without being something I've photographed a dozen times already?
Another sunset? Groundbreaking.
The SD skyline from across the bay? Again? Read More…

Self-Conscious

Starting off another year with the 52Frames weekly challenges.
They do get a bit repetitive, and we start of the year with one of my least favorites: Self Portrait.
I absolutely love being behind the camera, spying the world through my lens; but oh how I hate being front and center, the subject of the image, the entire purpose of the picture. Read More…

I've decided to begin a photography blog this week to talk about ongoing projects and share some "runners up" images from the weekly challenges that I'm doing. Read More…
