In my retirement, I’m enjoying many of the things I’ve waited years to do. Not to be misunderstood however, I greatly enjoyed business development; especially the creative implementation of them (and friends I've made along the way!). I occasionally miss the business world, until I remember the taxing hours developing a business demands. I’ve been brainstorming, “What can I do that would combine my passion for business and fill my creative soul?”. Oh my gosh, the answer has been in my face the whole time, a career in travel photography. So, to fill that void I now have (this) website that offers a printing service. You can follow me on Facebook and Instagram (look for their links at the bottom of each page). The photographic industry has changed so much (since I had my photo lab and studio), that I have had a lot to learn. I really enjoy the challenge though, and the creative results are (personally) rewarding. I know I’ll be continually challenged but what a great way to keep both my brain active, myself active and my creative soul engaged. ABOUT THIS PHOTO: This photograph contains 14 photos (Yes! ...14, all layered on top of each other), as well as HOURS of tedious work to set it up and a lot of time post processing. LOL, I quickly discovered that the water droplets had a mind of their own! I can’t tell you how many times I had everything just .....perfect, when a droplet would drop off, roll together or, or, or! :-) *FYI: The droplets are ONLY 3 mm wide.
The highly decorative Columbine flower grows wild in many parts of North America; this variety happened to be growing near my cabin in British Columbia. They grow in poor soil conditions and they’re generally found in shaded areas. The eye-catching red and yellow flowers hang down from their stems (I had to lie on the ground to get this photo), and are composed of 5 distinct red petals and upright red spurs. I named this photo “The Courage To Endure” because the Columbine flower is sometimes given as a gift to provide courage and endurance in one's endeavors. That said, this flower also has the “courage to endure” in its growing environment.
