Golden Gate Bridge and Coit Tower
It’s the getting up at 4:30 am. That’s the hard part. But it’s worth it when you see the sun come up and bathe it’s glorious light on the view in front of you. All those nondescript buildings at the base of the monuments, so uninteresting during the day, turned into magical shapes in the early morning light. Photography. It’s all about light.
Playground at 3am.
On BetterPhoto.com I take a class, Masterpiece Membership with Jim Miotke. He posts an assignment once a month. When I started this class I needed some kind of creative outlet while I was not able to go to the studio regularly. What fun this course is! I’m hooked. The assignment for May was to shoot a single scene or subject in as many ways as I could. The assignment read, Look for a subject or scene that has great potential and then see how many different “right answers” you can create out of that subject.” I chose a playground. Above is one of my images.
He paused for a moment.
I asked if I could take his picture.
Oh no, don’t take off your mask!
The next day I brought him a print.
But he had finished his job and was gone.

Possible fracture of the fibula. That’s my reward for trying to get to a seat where I could take a picture.. On the way up to Seattle somehow I injured my leg changing seats on the plane. It got worse. I ended up at the hospital getting an xray and coming out with crutches and a boot. “Keep off it and go to your doctor when you go back home.” Crutches are a pain. You start hurting all over from the damn crutches! Thank heavens for curbside no curbs for people like me. Came back here to construction problems. My husband worked on that - I worked on a hospital visit. Went there today and the doc wanted me to put weight on leg – didn’t hurt – walked out of there a little embarassed. Tomorrow I have to go rough plumbing shopping without boot and crutches. Hopefully the pain won’t come back. Not sure how many days I need to stay ahead of the contractors. Excuse me for not getting back sooner. It’s been busy around here.

Great news from Colin’s website! I’ve been waiting for this. Now we can add our own recipes and no one can change them.
http://www.foodista.com
We’ve got our noses to the grindstone working hard to make things even more fun for you at Foodista! Our newest feature is the ability to make a recipe Personal – meaning no one but you can edit it or make changes. We still believe it’s valuable for a recipe to be editable – and, honestly, we’ve found that most changes are simply to correct spelling or make other minor adjustments that don’t fundamentally change the recipe – but if you want to add your Grandma’s super-special pie recipe or you created a blow-your-socks-off casserole and don’t ever want it to change, make it Personal! Here’s how to do it: when you add a recipe simply select “Personal Recipe – Only I can Edit” before you click “Save”. Only you will be able to make edits (except for Foodista editors), however, once you make a recipe Personal, there’s no turning back, so make sure you really want to do it! Pretty nifty, huh
It’s hot The sprinklers are on. I hear Pan playing his flute.
Here is one version of the inserted painting within the light box. The light boxes within the painting held two layers of mulberry paper. Abstract transparent paintings veiled ink sketches of the animal gods of Egypt.
