The Impossible Project

I was so excited to hear about the success of The Impossible Project that I went out and shot some outdated Polaroid film. Not the most exciting photograph but it was instant and fun. I am also anxiously awaiting delivery of my package of PX100 Silvershade film. Visit the-impossible-project.com for some really cool photos and a virtual tour of the plant in the Netherlands.

Fugi Transfers

Fugi has a line of instant film that works great at making transfers. I just have to learn to call them Fugi transfers and stop myself when I start to say Polaroid transfers. Look for a workshop soon at Samy's camera in Costa Mesa.

Vanishing Brides

I am excited to announce that my series "Vanishing Brides" will be showing at the Orange Coast College, Art Center Gallery from November 13 - December 3. The opening reception will be held on November 20th from 5 - 7 pm.

My first photo with my new Brownie Hawkeye.

New Series

These images are from my new series which I call "Vanishing Brides". It is a project that I had so much fun working on. My idea was to preserve images of wedding dresses worn from 1940-1970. I feel like life is so different from when these dresses were worn. I had teenage girls wear their grandmother's wedding gowns. They all had such a fun and memorable time modeling for me. I think it was a memorable time for all. See my web site for the complete series. Tootieart.com.

Summer 2009

I just found this photo that I took last summer and on a "June Gloom" day like today I am really looking forward to this summer.
