I’ve recently added a new photograph – Kodak Girl BlueRiverDream – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/kodak-girl-blue-river-dream/

In the first decades of the twentieth-century, the Kodak Company ran an ongoing advertising campaign designed to encourage women to become photographers and recorders of their family’s travels, activities, milestone events and every day occurrences. Inspired by these ads, I’m creating photographs showing women as active photographers rather than the passive subject of a male photographer’s work that we so often see.

In the photograph, BlueRiverDream is a pre-World War I woman out photographing in the woods with her Graflex camera.

In From the Garden – New Photo

I’ve recently added a new photograph – In From the Garden – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/in-from-the-garden/

As I created this still life, I imagined a women just in from her cutting garden with a basket full of fresh flowers, settling down with a cup of tea and the latest issue of her favorite magazine. After all, she deserves a break after being out working in her garden all morning.

Summer’s Bounty – New Photo

I’ve recently added a new photograph – Summer’s Bounty – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/summersbounty/

As I created this still life, I imagined a women harvesting fresh vegetables from her garden, bringing them into her kitchen, and planning the evening’s dinner. Based on the tomatoes, garlic and basil, I’m thinking Italian for dinner.

Two Sunflowers – New Photo

I’ve recently added a new photograph – Two Sunflowers – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/two-sunflowers/

Every summer I love to photograph local sunflowers. This year, I bought some from a local farmer and brought them into my studio. At first, I was a bit frustrated since I couldn’t get the flowers to open up and face me the way I wanted to. And then I looked more closely at what was in front of me – and was amazed at the contrast of colors between the bright yellow and soft greens, the contrast of the soft petals and the spiny hairs along the leave and at how the flowers popped against the black background. All of a sudden, I was really pleased that I couldn’t photograph the sunflowers the way I wanted to – and instead photographed them the way they presented themselves to me.

The photograph is available matted to 11 X 14 or 16 X 20.
