Using a tripod I took this shot on Christmas Eve. Apparently the “star” is in a small room at the top of the transamerica building. Three or five people can fit into the space if they make themselves small. f/13, -1.00, 30/1 seconds, did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO 100, White balance Auto white balance, 50.00 mm . Canon EOS Rebel XTi
Drawing in my Moleskine
December 12, 2009
When we were in England, we went to a Point to Point Race. Sometimes the object I am drawing changes my story. One time I was drawing a little berry plant. I had drawn the leaves and glanced up to look at and draw the berry. It was gone! My three year old daughter had walked by, picked the berry, ate it and walked on. In this instance, I was drawing the horse and rider. I looked up to see what my next drawing stroke was going to be and saw the horse falling. With eye to hand coordination I kept drawing. The story had changed.

“Sculpture’s Shadow” placed in the top ten of BetterPhoto.com’s Masterpiece Membership entries. Masterpiece Membership is made up of a group of people from around the world who participate in monthly assignments, exchange of ideas and critiques. For this assignment, Visual Creativity, I worked with light, shadow and color. Instead of taking a photograph of the statue I took a photograph of it’s shadow. To me the shadow almost looks real.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid – Soccer
December 1, 2009
Do I want a beer at 9:30 in the morning? Nope. So what am I going to do while I’m with the guys in a crowded pub in Seattle watching live soccer? Well, I’ve got a lot of models to draw while I keep track of the game on the big screen. And I’ve got my iphone in my purse. That’s all I needed. There’s an application called Brushes which gives you the tools to draw and paint with your thumb. David Hockney has perfected the process. I’m working on it. Here you see the guys at the pub in the foreground with the TV screen and soccer field in the background. The Fullers sign is reminding me it’s time for a beer.
