Sharon shared some still life/storytelling images this month. Her series of a bowl of limes aging over months during the Covid lockdown are storytelling still life images and are relatable. Her muted, wonderful wilted flower image reminds me of a favorite New Order album cover or a renaissance still life painting – beautiful.
Sharon shared a photo of the de Young Museum in San Francisco. A very polarizing design with its wire cage and fits the summer vacation and geometric themes. Her other photos could fit next month’s theme of still lifes, some wonderful macro flower photos. Here’s what she shared:
Sharon shared some sporting images from the family album and as usual a humorous image of the family pet ‘enjoying’ the pool.
Sharon has been sharing some wonderful photos of prints she’s made. Although many fit the monthly themes, they definitely stand on their own. She shared an original image, image inverted, and the image processed with salt & sugar crystal technique. We miss the film and darkroom days…
Here are what she shared this month:
Our resident iPhone photographer shared some wonderful, colorful flower images. She’d be a great ambassador for cell phone camera artistry.
Sharon visited the Carlsbad Flower Fields and got some great shots with her iPhone of butterflies from their Butterfly Encounter.
With the recent wildfires around SoCal, protecting your photographic memories is important. Sharon, during a recent potential evacuation order, found some old photos she printed when she was in college. She photographed the old matted prints using her cell phone camera and shared these wonderful images. Protecting and preserving your photography is something we photographers need to focus on.
Sharon shared some of her favorite images from 2024 and some extras that she hadn’t shown before.
Sharon has a flare capturing images with wit or that tell a story or pose a question. Her “below” eye-level photos this month do just that and they always spark conversation. Her “above” images of the Blue Angels fly-by taken by her iPhone show the wonderful image quality that cell phone has. Freezing a Blue Angels jet so you can read the wing is an impressive example of computational photography. The images an iPhone can capture, whether its freezing time or long exposures of Comet A3, never ceases to amaze me. Here are her photos:
Sharon’s collection is probably the best group of color-themed shots. She’s got a great eye and there’s always a little mystery or wit to the photos she shares. Guess what subject is the the green/yellow/orange/red photo is of.
