2011 Arts Walk
Theme: Off the Beaten Path
Hello Photographers! This space is dedicated to a group of photo enthusiasts who will be diplaying their photography at the Fall 2011 Olympia Arts Walk. We have all studied under the guidance of Barbra Kates, and this will be our first public display capturing our learning, for some, over the last year and a half. Our exhibit is being hosted by Don's Camera, which has so graciously donated the front of the shop for our work. The Blogspot is for all committed entrants to post weekly images based on the weekly photo assignments.

Laura Cameron - Exhibit Photos
These are the finalists, but of course I still haven't entirely made up my mind which three -- so I sprang for an extra print, just in case the song sparrow comes out blah... (The captions weren't appearing in the preview screen, so I've repeated them above and below the pix.)
Sunspot in the Procession of the Species, Olympia. Seed Exchange Barn, Iowa.
Spring Singer, Nisqually NWR. Bowsprit of the Lady Washington, Olympia.
I've also posted Tim's three photographs, since I happened to be online.
This is Dragon in the Orchid Garden, National Botanical Gardens in Washington DC. Also from DC is The Wall. The black and white image is The Trail.

Try at a Wedding Photo
My nephew married this beautiful Northwest lady in August, which gave me a first try at photographing the "white". For two days I captured candids and made fast friends with Ms. Sony. The pooches were the ring bearers - bow-wow lovely and dolled up. F/9, 1/160s, ISO 200, 18 mm, fill flash., auto wb. PS'ed the people out of the background, flash tones as shot.
The groom's big girl, ready to trot. f/8, 1/160s, ISO-200, 35mm, fill flash, auto wb. PS'ed the color definition, and the walkway shadows.
Earth, Wind & Fire -- Terri Perkins

This summer, my dear mother-in-law passed away after a 2 year battle with cancer. She was an inspiration to me, her family and all who knew her. On September 1st, her devoted husband, her son (my husband), and I hiked up to the top of Mt. Ellinor to spread her ashes. It was her wish to make it to the top -- so we took her there. It was a beautiful day and the mountain goats followed us up to the top of the mountain and gathered with us as the wind and clouds whisked by. I want to share with you some of my favorite images from that day...
