Dreams of Summer

Moments like this remind me that photography is capturing light as it interacts with the subject.

Split Palm in the Sun

The sun just caught the side of this palm at the Conservatory and it lit up so nicely. I love little events like this.

Photographers take over St. Paul Como Conservatory

The Camera and Artist Event at Marjorie McNeely Conservatory, St. Paul Minnesota - every few months the Conservatory opens early on Sunday and allows photographers to bring their tripods in. I felt so out of place, I decided to leave the tripod at home and just enjoy my time there. It was such a sunny morning, the tripod seemed unnecessary. If I wanted to use a tight aperture I could have brought the tripod, but if you are familiar with my style, you'll notice I really enjoy the shallow DOF of a big lens.

Fountain Sculpture

This is one of my favorite photos from my day at the Conservatory. The sun was out, not a cloud in the sky, so not only was the reflected sky blue, but with my f/1.4 lens I was looking at a very fast shutter speed. The layering of light, shadow, reflection and textures was an absolute delight to see through the lens. Today is my little sister's birthday, Happy Birthday Sharon!

St. Paul Como Conservatory Koi

After a long week with too much work, a trip to the Como Conservatory can be just what the doctor ordered. The little fishes seemed pretty happy to see me, but I think I was standing where the guy who feeds them does. I missed a few days last week, I've been really busy. Things should be back to normal soon.
