Happy Easter!

Yeh!  It’s time to decorate the eggs!

Photoshop is fun, but it does lack the great smell of vinegar and messy color play that goes with dyeing eggs with food coloring!

Have a creative time decorating your eggs with your favorite technique!

Here is a half dozen decorated photographs from our Easter Egg series:

Happy Father’s Day!

“First Camera, a gift from ‘Santa'”

Our first, and constant, Photography Teacher was, and is, our Dad.  Those early lessons taught us to see the world around us, instead of only looking at it.

Later, as young teens, we considered ourselves lucky to have a darkroom in the tiny basement bathroom.  That experience also helped create our notion that any space can become a studio!

Today, color digital photographs can become black and white with a toggle in the camera menu or with clicks of a mouse on the computer.  It may be faster, but somehow a little something is missing with sunlight streaming through the office window instead of working by the glow of the red safety light of the old darkroom with Dad’s help.

As we work on this post, Dad is busy at his computer designing with Autocad instead of the old drafting table and mechanical pencil way he started his design career.

What a gift these modern tools give us, a chance to continually learn and grow at any age.
