Perpetual TV pilot (re)writer, photography dabbler, life, travel, whatnot.
When taking a photo class awhile back, I learned of a photography technique called ICM - intentional camera movement. I saw an opportunity recently - cloudy, dim skies, and contrasting colors. I gave it a quick try.

52Frames- Shoot From the Hip: Fun in the Food Aisles. I had my camera on me while running errands. I don't typically snap " street pics", but I gave it a try for this challenge.

52Frames - Shoot from the Hip, Counter Conndctions. It was back to the Waffle House Museum for this challenge, where I held the camera close to my waist and hoped for the best

52Frames: Architecture - EC - 10 - 18mm lens: Shapes and Colors. The artistic environment of Pasaquan, envisioned by folk artist Eddie Owens Martin, also known as St. EOM. Much of the property is more art than architecture, but still pretty cool.

52 Frames: Black and White Minimalism - EC: Bodyscape - "Foundation". Not a typical bodyscape - the foot, but I wanted to pay homage to the much overlooked body part.

52Frames - Show Us Your Toys, Extra Challenge - Flat Lay: Feeling Fancy.

This challenge was quite the learning experience with more adjustments to be made in another "go around."

Now to go write something. Does anyone do that anymore?

A wind through the veil to the spirit world, whispered of a place that went above and beyond decorating for Halloween this year.

52Frames: Center Composition. I overthought the exercise too much this week, so ended up with this glowing pumpkin in honor of decorative gourd season.

Sharing the great work of a friend who has tapped into these "trying times" to create a powerful show on exhibit now at the Library Gallery at Sacramento State University.

52Frames: Soundtrack - Gate to Home. My soundtrack - The San Francisco Bay. No matter where I'm living in the world, I always return home. I get a bit out of sorts if I'm gone too long, so I had to go home and dip my toes into the Bay and Pacific Ocean to recharge.

52Frames - Texture: Powder Avalanche. A little something silly: I feel like we are inundated and buried by health information trends - this time around, it's protein. Here, Lego ladies is buried in an avalanche of sticky, gloopy, gritty protein powder.

52Frames: Out of Place - Happy Hour. I'm very grateful to the models @roseriotphotography on Insta.

On my computer, the bright jewel-colored version looks great. On the phone, the muted-colored version gives a cool vibe.

52Frames: Shoot From Above - Toot My Own Horn.

I don't know what about "shoot from above" made me think of a bean mosaic, but here we are. The beans are cranberry beans, yellow-eyed peas, calypso beans, red lentils, black beans, and Peruvian mayocoba beans.

52Frames: Reflections- Psychedelic Bubble Mushrooms. The camera didn't like focusing on bubbles. I ended up with psychedelic bubbles missing their middles or bubble mushrooms launching into space.

Peace!

52Frames: Abandoned. I didn't get to do the big shoot I had planned for this theme, but lucky me, I found this abandoned wasp nest in a doorway. Thankfully, no one is home.

52Frames: Macro - Catching Rays. I don't have a macro lens, so I used macro filters. The filters got me closer to the subject, but not a lot, and sharpness was a challenge.

#3 - playing with floor tile.
#4 - focus stacking on Sony.

Still lots to learn.
