Lucille Station

I was looking for a quote to go along with this image and came across:

“Black people lived right by the railroad tracks, and the train would shake their houses at night. I would hear it as a boy, and I thought: I’m gonna make a song that sounds like that.”

Not knowing much- OK, not knowing anything at all- about Little Richard, I listened to some of his songs. And everything seems to sound like the rythm of a train running behind his vocals; Tutti Frutti, Long Tall Sally, Good Golly Miss Molly, Lucille, Rip It Up….

Here, just give a listen!

Finding Focus

The serendipitous acceptance of imperfection in a messy world, otherwise known as what happens when you forget to stop, stay still then shoot while chasing the crowd down the street.

From Le Flore en l’Ile cafe, Île Saint-Louis, Paris

It’s amazing the life post-processing can bring to old jpeg files. I took this photo in 2010 with my Nikon D90 and kit lens, before I knew anything about photography (can we talk about cutting off the steeple?). But as I worked on it, Paris came alive before my eyes. And I was transported to the cafe where we spent a wonderful mid-afternoon break people-watching against the backdrop of Pont Saint-Louis and Notre Dame. J’adore Paris!

In Your Kitchen

Kruunuvuori, Helsinki. June 2014. Scenes from a room that used to be someone’s kitchen. So fascinating but somewhat creepy also.

The Lone Cypress

SS 1/25 second, F 8, ISO 500

I was fortunate to spend last weekend at Pebble Beach with my husband, watching golf in sunny, glorious 75 degree weather while all of my friends on the East were shoveling in frigid temps! Warm hugs to all of you – and don’t worry, I wasn’t left out on the cold weather experience, as soon as arrived home to single digit temperatures it began to snow.

The tree in the picture is “The Lone Cypress”- the tree you see on the Pebble Beach Golf Links logo. I took the shot just as the last rays of sun were sinking below the horizon. You’ll notice in my settings that I used a long exposure. I wanted to freeze the water (bottom left is most evident). It was windy so there is motion blur to be observed in the bushes/trees.
