This is what I was hoping for today when the fog appeared earlier this morning but there was never any sun, even late in the day, towards sunset.

I made this image from an original that I took on Velvia, then scanned with my Nikon Coolscan 9000, and finally made some adjustments in Color Efex. What a great batch of plug- ins for Photoshop.

Good luck with your photography this summer. It feels like rain is the name of the game and you just have to work around it.

There are a lot of directions to follow in photography today. I have found it important to try to change and adapt. In this image, I took a photo of a road sign in Nova Scotia, then created the globe in a mapping software program and added the road sign to create a concept of confusion and direction. Which should we choose?

This is an image that I took on an assignment in Bristol, Maine last summer . I was just wandering around the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse when I noticed this garden of Lupines and the lighthouse fitting so nicely into a seam between the flowers. That is what I look for in photography. The cracks, the seams, the spaces and tiny places that get overlooked and abandoned. This time it worked for me.

Well, I just finished working with the SEO grader in Photoshelter. The constant updating of information and metadata is so important to the life of a photographer these days. At least it was drizzling this afternoon. I was very anxious with the beautiful foggy day along the coast of Maine and wanted to be out creating some new atmospheric images. But, I made great progress with optimization, so the day spent in front of the laptop was probably well worth it.

I did also manage to get into my garden and was scoping out all of the beautiful droplet images. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes were scoping me out. I had to treat some of the plants with deer and rabbit repellant (made of rotten eggs and garlic). I hope it keeps the varmits out of the vegetables because it sure is going to keep me away.

I plan to exhibit my images at the Lobster Festival in Rockland this month. Last year, I was the lucky person who got to name the new giant fiberglass mascot of the festival. i won a hundred dollars and some lobster paraphenalia (I can't wait to get my lobster beenie).

See you there. have a great weekend
