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.

I Always carry a camera with me -- and it's not always the same one (however I do love my Nikon D90!). For me... capturing moments is often about being at the right place at the right time -- with a camera on hand!

                    Original File Metadata: 
F/22, 1/160 sec, ISO 200, -2 EV, 18mm focal length, centered metering, fill flash, WB daylight, aperture priority, 350 dpi, 3.24MB.

The Boston Harbor marina deck is a best kept secret for being lazy in the sun, meeting friends for beer, chowder, and you-shuck-'em oysters.  The area reminds of my childhood when we boated around the sound, and stopped at mom-and-pop marinas for gas, 7-up and chips ---and the spare boat part.  There was always time to poke around on the docks, say "Hi", and put the pole in for the biggest bullhead.  Time has stood still in this cove which sits in the lap of the Olympics.

The photo style isn't unusual, though it captures my sunny moment of pleasure.

And yes...I did hear "will you take my picture?, and I met three very nice people from Pennsylvania.  One, the mother of an MIT rocket scientist, and whose father was a professional photographer who studied with Ansel Adams.  Small world.
