MWCA Photography 101 – Class One

MWCA Photography 101 – Class One – I just finished teaching my first photography course at The Monroe-Walton Center for the Arts. It was a 4 week course in the month of February that met on Saturdays from 11:00 am to 12:30pm. We used the art center facility classrooms as our meeting place. It started with learning the basics of the photography triangle of exposure. We focused on aperture, shutter speed, and ISO and how they interact with each other. I encouraged my students to move away from Auto mode…

Salinas Park Pier

Today’s featured photo is “Salinas Park Pier”. Salinas Park is located in Gulf Co Florida on Cape San Blas. We used to be considered the “Forgotten Coast”, but since Cat 5 Hurricane Michael hits us directly we are now on the map. The area is probably about 75% recovered. All new construction has to be rated at Cat 3 to hopefully prevent the destruction we saw with HM. We lost the old Florida feel, but are still a coastal community of richness in many ways. If you ever venture our…

Durango/Silverton Train 473

Durango/Silverton Train 473

Today’s featured photo is “Durango/Silverton Train 473”. The hubby and I enjoyed our visit to Colorado in October of 2021. One of our stops on our ten day trip was in Durango, CO. We spent three days in the Durango area and one of the days we rode the Durango/Silverton steam locomotive train from Durango to Silverton, CO. As the day went on it became colder and colder and snowed on us most of the way to Silverton. It was a winter wonderland and we had a blast though it…

She Sells Seashells

Today’s featured photo is “She Sells Seashells”. Cockle shells are very common in our area of the panhandle of Florida. This one was found on our beach in St Joe Beach, FL. Honestly I believe they are common to all areas of FL. This beauty was waiting on me on my morning walk to have it’s picture taken. I’m an avid shell collector, but left this beauty for someone else to collect. Please note you can purchase my work by using the “Shop For Photos” link at the top of…

The Mighty Redwoods

Today’s featured photo is “The Mighty Redwoods”. The hubby and I enjoyed our visit to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks in CA in August of 2021. This was our first trip via airplane since the COVID pandemic began in 2020. We are lovers of all National Parks and honestly Kings and Sequoia NP’s did not disappoint. The wild fires made for a very smoky visit which I always have issues with, but did manage to survive even though it took me several weeks after our visit to finally clear…

Fire Tree

Fire Tree print for sale

Today’s featured photo is “Fire Tree”. This tree is very significant for me. It still stands after a fire that ravaged 20+ acres beside our neighborhood in St Joe Beach, FL in April 2017 and if that wasn’t enough Cat 5 Hurricane Michael blew through in October 2018 and destroyed our area. It still stands and I know that one day it will be gone, but until then I will continue to draw upon it’s strength to stand tall. Please note you can purchase my work by using the “SHOP…
