Visiting Roan Mountain | northern California landscape photographer
Several summers ago was a whirlwind. And, it all started with a trip to North Carolina to visit and photograph with my friends Kathy Roberts and Jennifer Carr. Kathy opened her beautiful home to us and created a photographer's dream schedule for us beginning with Roan Mountain on our first full day there.
Seven Recommendations for Beach Photography | Northern California fine art photography
The beach is one of my favorite landscapes to visit and to photograph. I've been shooting there since I first began learning photography. Here are a few recommendations for things I've learned about photographing at the beach.
Learn Photography | Sacramento photographer
I can help you with photographing your intended subject, teach you a few editing skills, and/or help you pull a portfolio together. To learn more about my photography mentoring, go to my page on Personalized Mentoring. Take a look and then contact me with your questions. As a trained educator with years of experience, I'm sure I can help you with your photography.
Cemetery on the Coast | Sacramento Fine Art Photographer
Toward the top of the rolling hills near the coast, my friend and I discovered yet another cemetery that had been part of the community for a very long time. While the sun was shining maybe a bit too strongly and the breeze was blowing just perfectly, I felt such peace in this lovely location. The headstones in the cemetery were modest although there was plenty of evidence of love and remembrance. Many of the headstones were handmade/carved; some were painted, some were not. I don't usually convert my images, but this set seemed to tell the story best in black and white.
Forests of the Northern California State Parks
Surrounding oneself with nature is a sure way to renew, de-stress, and relax. That is exactly how I felt while visiting the beautiful coast and forests of the Northern California State Parks last summer. Because it is a bit remote in many areas, there is no cell coverage and no internet.
