abstraction...

Here is just ONE shot from our Grounds for Sculpture field trip...I will upload more soon. This reflection image is shot with my 7 year old point & shoot camera. That day I also used my cell phone for a bunch of pics. I had to carry a lot of things and really wanted to be there to help others and did not want to be bogged down with my heavy camera - also decided to leave my pro camera on bus at last minute because it really looked like it was going to rain - it seemed like a miracle it did not - we were so lucky to have GREAT weather - we had it all, cloudy interesting sky, good shaded light, a drizzle of rain, and bright beautiful sunshine! I got some good photos there, hardly trying and using tres low-tech cameras - shows it is NOT the equipment, but the pure intent and knowledge of composition & design....

Let's see if this link works a place to view ALL! the photos I took in Turkey - there are over 2,000...I was there for almost 3 weeks. I was with a large family group the whole time, so my pics are okay...I did not have the creative time I would have like to really take a closer, slower, quieter look with my camera that I like to do when I am not traveling with crazy, (but cute!) 3 year old and lots of other family trailing ahead or behind me....

ps-
It will say "Erol" when you get to page to join Snapfish, for my husband posted all the pics for the rest of our family to view.

9th Year with the Cherry Blossoms

I have been photographing Isobel Rose here for 9 years - since she was 6 months old. This is the 3rd year for her and sister, Sasha Violet, to be photographed together. You can tell a lot about their relationship by this particular shot. This image is not posed. I tend to like the surprises that happen for me as I photograph people. I always go to this site with "good" ideas of what I want and I always walk away surprised by the "magic" that happens in front of my lens. The experience of shooting people on location always leaves me feeling greatly rewarded - the gift of getting to know the person(s)...in this case growing closer to my daughters, and the most precious gift of "going with the flow" and cherishing the moment.
