Crocus is the third of the spring flowers to bloom. And the last one we count. From then on it’s just full steam ahead.

Sharing work from my portfolio.

These little yellow flowers, ‘erantis’, are the first flowers to come up in the spring – from the art project Signs of Spring (follow the link to see the artist statement and all 21 images together).

Sunset at Mount Shasta, CA, 2014

I think this image has the potential to be one of my favorite shots of the whole trip though of course it’s hard to say when we’re still at it.

Taking an evening walk at sunset by Mount Shasta I noticed two kinds of people. There were most of what I termed ‘yoga people’ but there were also two photographers – easily distinguished from the yoga people by the lack of dreadlocks and the use of shoes and vests 🙂 I noticed what they were shooting and quickly followed their lead before the light was gone with this result.

“You can always find something to photograph…”

Does that sentence also make you want to say something obscene? Yesterday, though, I had to very reluctantly agree as a little piece of magic happened.

I was asked to take some shots of the very first spring flower. It should be in the small patch of green surrounded by buildings and it was raining so no light to speak of. There was only a drizzle left when I ventured out with my non-weather-proof camera. Below is what I found. First straight out of the camera, the images are only compressed. Nothing else. Next you’ll see the result of a bit of Lightroom time and a vignette preset. Not exactly original, not even completely sharp but a whole lot better than what I would have thought after 5 minutes of shooting where there was nothing to photograph and no light.

While most people have at least seen pictures of the amazing San Francisco, let me share with you now some images from Marin – the county just north of the Golden Gate and our favorite place to stay.

Remember spring? 10-2013

You know, I like spring better than summer. I love the promise of things to come, of days being warm and not hot – and of hoping for sunny days rather than rainy days! This is, after all, Denmark with our costal climate…
