A beautiful watercolor painting by Tarkay

Day 95

I received alot of flowers yesterday for Easter. Some of them got bent while being transported. I don't like to waste things. So I thought, this Gerber Daisy was deserving of at least a photograph before discarding it.

Day 33

I've been working on which photos I should submit to the Greenwich Arts Council for consideration to get accepted to "Art to the Avenue" all day long. It is a very difficult process to choose 6 photos that represent my work. I've decided to go with my photos from Africa since that is what I have an abundance of, you can see some on my websight here....

However I am hoping that after 365 days of this project I will have a whole new portfolio or 2 or 3.
So for today's photo I just took a quick shot of some peacock feathers I had laying around and added a texture I found here

Day 24

My daughter bought some heart shaped cookies tonight, so that became my subject for today. After several failed attempts of just photographing the cookies I enlisted Kathryn to be my model. I really wanted to play around with adding gels to my flash to light up the background to be reddish to match Kathryn's blouse and cookie. After many attempts I finally got it. The problem is I really needed a flash for her too, but only had the one working. The pic came out kind of boring so I had to add some textures to make it a little more interesting.
