This is just a good story – emailed to me by a friend in NY. No politics, no religion….enjoy! I did. ************************************************************************* This wonderful piece by Michael Gartner, editor of newspapers large and small, former president of NBC News and 1997 Pulitzer Prize winner for editorial writing is well worth reading. Here goes…. My father… Continue reading A Good Story

I was turned on to an Korean artist recently whose photographs are at a gallery in SF right now. His work is rather amazing: http://www.kimjoon.co.kr/. Apparently he paints all the pieces first, then arranges and photographs them. Sounds easy enough – until you look at them. Wow!
Thanksgiving Tributes
The November show at the SF Women Artists Gallery is, not surprisingly, themed “Thanksgiving”. My two entries above were juried in. Thank You Notes (11×14 with black mat) was renamed for the occasion, otherwise seen on my website as “Music In The Air”, shot outside the Taste of Rome in Sausalito of the SF Medicine… Continue reading Thanksgiving Tributes
Harvest Show
Two new pieces juried into the SFWA gallery October show: The Harvest Bowl was shot back in 2005 in London (at my friend Lindsay’s house). I retrieved it from my disk and ‘worked’ on it, cropping, moving, and finally adding some detail. It’s printed at 16 x 20, unmatted, in a really nice gold frame.… Continue reading Harvest Show

Half Moon Bay Hike
From a sunset hike out to the Mavericks last weekend. Nice evening, nice people, good excercise, photos, seafood and dancing. Doesn’t get too much better.
Award
So, my photo, Piano Hands received one of two Merit Awards last night at the San Francisco Women Artists Gallery. The jurist was artist Joan Finton (see her art here). She’s done some wonderful drawings of musicians – maybe why she liked Piano Hands! I’m planning to go to an opening of her new show in Berkeley next… Continue reading Award
Two photos in SFWA Show
I was very pleased to have two of my photos accepted for the August Show at the SFWA Gallery (3489 Sacramento Street, SF). There’s an artist reception Thursday night (8/12/10) from 5:30 – 7 so if you’re in the area, please drop by.
Photo Contests
I like EASY photo contests – and of course ones that don’t break the bank. I just found out about Travel & Leisure’s monthly photo contests which have no entry fees. I put up a few of my favorites – we’ll see….
Photocrati Recommended
Finally finished updating Wendell Shinn’s website (streetsofsanfran.com), using a pretty neat WordPress theme, Photocrati. It doesn’t look like a blog and can be customized to suit. The really good part is that once the site is set up, the owner can update it on his/her own. Recommended for any photographers out there who haven’t already… Continue reading Photocrati Recommended
