October 18, 2009 I am sure you are wondering why I called this California Adventure Abbreviated.   Two years ago I took a 15 day road trip through California.  I drove down California along the Sierras through Mt Lassen, Lakes Basin, Tahoe, Yosemite and Kings Canyon then onto San Diego for 5 days.  I drove [...]

October 17, 2009 This is a shot of some detail work on Vikingshlom a summer home at Emerald Bay on Lake Tahoe.  Vikingshlom is considered one of the finest examples of Scandinavian architecture in the western hemisphere.  Mrs Lora Josephine Knight started construction in 1928 and work was completed on the house in 1929. 200 [...]

September 27, 2009 Sorry Carmen but I wanted a face with your jewelry.  Plus this is a good photo of  Carmen.

I have known [...]

I had to add these shots.  These rather politically incorrect scrubbers were a gift from me several years back.  I saw them and knew that Carmen would love them.  They were just to inappropriate to pass up.  Now they are featured on my site for all to see.

The shot of the earrings is a great shot but has a flaw that makes it unusable for Carmen’s website.  The clasp is twisted on one and the other shows that the clasp was not attached securely to the earring.  These were later fixed in another shot of these same earrings.  I learned a lesson [...]

This was a lot of fun.  I spent time in two gardens.  I started to focus on small details and interesting shapes.  The wrought iron and wood created excellent backgrounds to show of Carmen’s work.  The photos were taken a few hours before sunset.  It gave them the great texture and warm tones that make [...]

The clasp in the fist shot is the focus and that second necklace shot very well.  Carmen has put a lot of energy into her pieces.  I love the detail in these two pieces.
