When we got to our condo in Depoe Bay, OR, we walked out onto the balcony and the first thing we saw was whales about 50 feet from shore! There were four in the cove. Here are two of them.

As many of you know, my heart is in street photography. But hey! Cameras and lenses are expensive and street pix don't pay the bills. So sometime ago I decided to start doing head shots. I was taking some respectable photos, but not getting the look I wanted. I had the opportunity to take a workshop with Lisa Pane this week. Lisa is one of only 120 Peter Hurley Headshot Crew associates in the world. If you don't know who Peter Hurley is, Google him. We are fortunate that Lisa has decided to move from West Hartford, CT to Boise. This is a photo I took of one of the other photographers in the workshop, Michelle. Still not quite where I want to be, but a definite improvement and headed in the right direction.

Thanks J.

I love the geometry and symmetry of shadows.

Thanks Bill.

Thanks Matt.

One last one for this challenge

I LOVE black and white. Thanks for hosting this.

Looks great! No worries this winter. Did Bill get the ice dam problem fixed?

On the larger picture, you can see that Grandpa Pierpont's tie matches Grandma's dress. He was always a class act. Is that Billy or Karen that Mom is holding?

Oh, I remember it well! I think this photo was taken in the spring of 1968. I broke my nose in high school on the floor exercise in gymnastics. I lived with that broken nose until about five years ago when I finally got it straightened. For those who might think that I smoked and participated in gymnastics, I didn't. This was a parody of a popular commercial at the time.

Thanks for the memory.

Congratulations. Thank you for displaying the Flag.

Thanks Photogirl. Trapped in a clean room wearing that bunny suite for hours on end didn't lend itself to the most comfortable of conditions. You learned real fast not to drink a lot of water! Think about all the poor folks who make memory every time you turn on your cell phone, computer, or put a memory card in your camera.

I much prefer the work I do in the second photo.

From one job to another.
