Old Mama Dog, New Tricks: 24 Frames in May
http://oldmamadognewtricks.blogspot.com/2015/06/24-frames-in-may.html
24 Frames in May. All in all a good month and lots of fun! I wish my eyesight was better. I really don't want to get rid of this beautiful camera. I'll be shooting lots more film in the coming month. I love not editing! I love thinking carefully about what I shoot and learning how to use it well. I love showing people the backwards view in the viewfinder and talking shop with fellow photographers who admire it. Maybe I'll try a viewfinder with a diopter and keep it after all.

Recovery is the Mama of Reinvention. I've seen lots of reasons for people starting over.divorce, laid off, disaster, sickness, getting well. Sometimes it's simply a change in circumstances. An empty nest, you tried something and it just didn't work out. For me starting over is the fun part. It's like seeing an old house and imagining it all fixed up or an empty field and seeing the garden. Starting over is imagination and dreams! I've made my share of mistakes some big ones! A spot to put the plan in pla...

Old Mama Dog, New Tricks: Never to old to learn...8 week Portrait Class - Lesson One is Skrebneski!
http://oldmamadognewtricks.blogspot.com/2015/02/never-to-old-to-learn8-week-portrait.html
Never to old to learn.8 week Portrait Class - Lesson One is Skrebneski! I have a mentor of sorts in Donald Giannatti of Lighting Essentials. He is a commercial photographer who loves to share (as Wizwow on social media) and teaches workshops. He is currently teaching an 8 week Portrait Class. And each week features a different photographer to study and learn from. Inspired by Skrebneski's shot of Andy Warhol lit by a silk Japanese lantern over a bare daylight balanced fluorescent bulb. So google Victor S...

Styling a Photography Session for a Wedding Blog Feature. Such exciting news today because my styling work has been featured on Green Wedding Shoes today! My job was to create the setting and the flowers for the session. It is something I have done as an event planner. So excited to do this because I feel like an elopement can be a wildly romantic thing to do without Las Vegas or an ugly courthouse. I have done these before, they are so much fun for a few close friends and family to share in! Subscribe t...

Other People Say Such Clever Things! So I am back to blogging because I am a pretty sick puppy and can't sleep with the growing sack of concrete in my abdomen. So I read posts in photography groups. Yeah, there are lots of groups. On the internets but I have to say.photographers are a funny bunch of people. The crack me up in the middle of the night while I sit perched on my swivel chair listening to the rythmic snoring of my old man. Now I find this even more perversely funny with the recent controversy...

So Life Is Just Too Much Fun! I have been absent from my blog planning my youngest daughter"s wedding and recovering from my middle daughter's wedding three months ago. I immediately posted the few photographs of Samantha's wedding (which was yesterday) on flickr. To share with friends and to post anything other people may have taken. It was an unbelievably wonderful day and I don't want to go back to regular workaday life just yet. Challenge called "Bust a Gut" on Monday November 28! Links to this post.

I saw this article from Gawker posted on my fb page today about "The Problem with Humans of New York". No street cred like the suffering of others. Hasselblad 500c Ektar 160. It's a thing now from photography workshops to Facebook groups to flickr meet ups .street photography is cool! Photograph a stranger and prove that you are a storyteller, a photojournalist! If it's a homeless person then it proves your street cred! If you're shooting film.wow, then you're old school cool! It stopped being real.
