sk8r’s as Art

Yesterday I posted a wildlife shot which was rare for me. Today my post is even more rare, pictures that I didn’t take! My friend and colleague Brenda Berry is crazy for skateboarding pics. To be fair her son Mason, “The Weasel”, loves to hit the park and Brenda needed something to do while watching out for him. Now she is hooked! Brenda took these pics and you can see the originals on her site. On a recent trip Brenda took me along to the park. The picture with the photographer in the foreground is Brenda and not me. I’m not quite ready to rock the tie dye T!

I was inspired by the Dave Hill look and so the grungy look of his work is what these pics are all about. That and Mason dropping in and stuff. Who knew sk8rs had their own fakey lingo?

Bobcat As Art

I don’t do very many wildlife shots, they just don’t work very often. I really liked this shot; the bobcat sitting up and posing so perfectly and the colorful mountain background, well it seemed that I had to add it to my portfolio of digital paintings.

I will be leading a photography workshop to this location at the end of October, check it out on the PAW website.
