Lovin' La Jolla

A few months ago I was asked to participate in a portfolio review for the American Photographic Artists San Diego chapter.  I always enjoy these events because it's exciting to discover new talent and to offer up my 2 cents of advice.  Since the review was scheduled on a Saturday morning, Wendel and I decided to extend our visit and hang out in La Jolla for the weekend.  Neither of us had spent any time in the beach town so it was fun to play tourist.  We stayed at The Grande Colonial, a historic hotel overlooking the ocean.

Here are some photos from our trip....

Happy Friday, All!  What are your plans this weekend?  My boyfriend and I are going to a friend's wedding in Palos Verdes.  Should be lovely since it's being held at the Terranea Resort which overlooks the ocean.  Other than that, I'm going to continue shooting some more film.

I shot the image above with my Hasselblad.  Gotta love dappled sunlight and old benches.

TGIF

It's been a long week but I'm excited for the weekend.  I haven't been to the South Coast Botanical Garden in a while so I think that's on the top of my list.  Here are some photos from a previous visit to the Garden...

I recently started posting photos on http://jpgmag.com/, an online photo community that encourages folks to participate in weekly photo challenges that cover a variety of themes.  A week or so ago, they had a theme titled, "Grilled to Perfection."  Thought it was a great opportunity to try and shoot some grilled fruit as opposed to the tired meat shots I expected to see.  So here's my contribution...grilled peaches.  And I'm happy to say that it was a featured photo on their blog!  So exciting.
