It's Been a Busy Summer!

Wow, can summer be ending already? I've been back to work at LSS/MSS for two days and I've hardly had my toes in the sand all summer. It's been busy, but all good. PHOTOGRAPHY has been this summer's theme for me. Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Fuller Gardens, Pemaquid Lighthouse, Ocean Point, Coppal House Farm Sunflower Festival were allon my radar. Still having fun with my Color Sketch effect on my Nikon d750.

This "I'm not a wedding photographer" had a blast photographing Molly & Bryan Ender's wedding on Sawyer Island in Boothbay, Maine on July 30th. They had the BEST weather of the summer, the most photogenic bridal party, a cannon shoot and a spectacular sunset over the water! It was so much fun that I've booked another wedding in October! :-)

I sold cards, postcards and calendars at Ocean Point Inn and had my photos, cards and calendars at the Hampton Arts Network Summer Gallery at Hampton Beach. I also went to Boothbay to do a Family Photo Shoot for the Lunts while their daughters were in town with their families. Mid-day sun and a beautiful, active five year old were the challenges of that shoot. Great practice and so much FUN! Ha ha, I didn't want to work at the Inn this summer because I didn't want to drive back and forth each week, but I've been to Boothbay four times since June 3rd and will go back Columbus Day weekend to pick up my cards and calendars that didn't sell this season. I always feel like I'm home when I'm at Ocean Point!

Day #12 Part 1, Fri. 7/13

Friday the 13th was an AWESOME day! Started the early day off with a Chobani raspberry yogurt before taking the 7:04 Amtrak Downeaster to Boston for my PhotoWalks Tour of the Boston waterfront. Packed some water because it was going to be a hot one! Got into North Station around 8:20 and my tour wasn't until 10. I just HAD to have a few last photos taken with Ray Allen in the TD Garden before they take him down! I had plenty of time to get to the Old State House Museum to meet for the tour so I walked over to Quincy Market and then up to State & Washington Streets. There was a sweet man sitting on the bench with his dog playing some sort of French percussion instrument. He had a little dog on the bench next to him . I asked if I could take some photos of him and he gladly obliged. I told him about the upcoming Hearts & Hands Show and he asked if the doggie's paw counted! :-) I took several photos and then Saba, the tour leader arrived. There w...

Birthday Blog

On April 19, 2022 a t 2:35 pm, the exact time of my birth 68 years later, I was at my very favorite place, Pemaquid Lighthouse! It worked out perfectly; I had planned on photographing sunrise, but it was raining so I went later in the day. THIS is 68! I left on my solo secret birthday road trip on Monday April 18th. I made a pit stop at the Yarmouth Information Center to pick up some brochures. A guy in the parking lot saw my CELTS-6 license plate and Celtics hat and started talking about how great Sunday’s game was! :-) Once a year, I always like to go somewhere I haven’t been before. I took a side trip to Land’s End on Bailey Island. Just sorry I never made it there before my friend, Dan Millar, passed away. I want to go back for photos of The Giant Stairs, Lookout Point, Cribstone Bridge and the little lobster shack in Mackerel Cove when it’s a little warmer. When I lived in Maine I would go to Tortola in April. Now I go from NH to Maine! LoL I arrived...

Day #8, Mon. 7/9

Well I am bound to have one of this days! My friend Eric, who owns and runs 'Evolution 180' in L.A., is a lean, mean (and I mean that in the nicest way) machine. I have to say that he is THE BEST personal trainer I have ever met! He practices what he preaches. He eats clean for 5 days, fasts for a day and then eats whatever he wants for a day. So I would have to say that Day #8 was my "eat what I want kind of day." But getting back to Eric. . . Back in February 2011 he came to Boston for the Celtics-Lakers game. Eric had never been to the Right Coast and it just happened that we were having one of our coldest, snowiest winters EVAH! He arrived on the red eye and came up to NH to catch a few hours of sleep before I dragged him around Boston. The snow piles in our yard were over his head and his comment was, "Do people live here voluntarily?" I gave him the full Boston experience. We drove to Sullivan Square and took The T into Boston. We went ...
