So, since I live in a little town...in the desert...and there are very few options when it comes to finding nice-looking locations to take pictures. Keep in mind I don't yet have a studio. Anyway, while driving down one particular street, I happened to turn my head and see this. Suddenly the subject of my senior session today had an exclusive "background" because she is the first and only senior whose photos were taken on this location. My thanks goes out to the property owners for being so welcoming about us being in their front and back yards today.

This particular version is my experimentation on high contrast and reduced colors. Find the corresponding photo on Snap The Planet's Facebook page for the full color version and one of the portraits.

The Gate

Shirley Howarth

This gate made me want to know what was up the road. I am sure it is something wonderful but alas, I will never know. I am pretty sure I had my picture taken too as there were surveillance cameras there.

This image was created with 5~ 30 second exposures merged in Lightroom CC....I definitely needed a lot of patience and time to create this

Filer's Gate

Sarah Williams (co-founder)

They lay us down in peaceful surrender,
behind iron gates or beneath marble stone
but we cannot be contained in death
any more than we can be corralled in life,
as we are the energy in the air
the static between the static -
and life always goes on

The sunset hit this gate beautifully. I could not resist this shot.
