This post is a bit of a personal brag for both of us. You have already read about the Mayor’s Gallery Art Reception this past Friday, and the Cuenca Art Walk 2016 that followed during the weekend. El Mercurio is a major Spanish Language Cuenca newspaper that we follow (usually from Jeanne’s daily English translations […]
Waterfall Moving From Still Image
You may have noticed that a couple recent blogs have had moving images in them (symphony and magic as examples). These are animated GIF images that I have been experimenting with. Both those were made starting with videos that I shot during the event. With some masking magic, I am able to obtain a moving […]
Evelyn’s First Solo Exhibition
Lynda with her new painting from the Parada de Bus series How many people will come to Evelyn’s reception? That was a question that plagued us for weeks. How much food and wine do we prepare? We have been to some art show receptions where only a handful of people showed up. We were advised to […]
Evelyn Solo Art Show Announcement
Evelyn is opening her first solo art show this week! Her first (and only prior) show was in July, 2014, where she exhibited with two other artists. 19 months later, she is having her second show, and this time as the only artist. Not only that, but she is exhibiting at Galería Larrazábal, an exclusive […]
Evelyn’s First Art Expo
After years of having friends try to convince her to have an art showing, Evelyn finally caved and had her first opening reception tonight. After weeks of being nervous and fearing nobody would come or like her work, she sold 6 out of the 14 she displayed within the first 3 hours — far more […]

Super Moon and Porch Sunset
This post is really just to show off a couple of photographs I took from our deck this weekend. Sunday was the official “Super Moon”, which means the full moon was at its closest to earth. This happens once every 14 months, so is not completely rare. However, it is a bit more unusual to […]
40 Years And Still Having Fun
40 years ago today, we drove to Kirkwood Meadows near Lake Tahoe, mounted skis and got married. Kirkwood Meadows was a new ski resort that we had not been to before, so we thought it would be a good place to start our new lives. We didn’t realize ahead of time that Dec 16, 1972 […]
[Brag] N4C Best of Show
I hadn’t expected to post again so soon, but we were notified of the latest round of N4C photography winners. I was pleasantly surprised that I picked up another 1st place and Best of Show at the Masters level of Pictorial competition: Brainwashed Each duck was shot separately with a syringe in its head, with […]
[Brag] Another Creative Photo Winner
Tonight at the Berkeley Camera Club, we had Creative and Nature category competitions. Creative has always been one of my favorites, while Nature has never really been my strong suit. Tonight’s results followed those strengths. The procedure for competition at our club is to have the photos projected on a screen one at a time, […]
