Caltech has an annual art show. Last year I was so excited to show my new scanography. Had my mentor Ed Martin and his wife Sandy there, my dear friends Michael and Irene from France, and my hubby. Didn’t win a thing. This year I didn’t make a big deal out of it. Just had Steve come for moral support, plus my coworkers, and hey, I won the judge’s grand prize. A very good day. Here’s a sample.

What’s better than one beautiful orchid? Several, of course.

Headed back to the photo trade show PMA today. Lots of cool new equipment and software coming out. Will share!

The intention of the day was to shoot winterscapes. But it was more like spring. Adapt, adapt!

Sometimes the best shots are the last shots of the day.
