I Looove this shot.

Like,

Love. It. Dusk in Sonora, Ca

This image just does it for me. I enjoy the peaceful feel, the colors, the glow…I even like tracing with my eyes all those spindly plant stems bending every which way up into the sky. sigh… It’s so beautiful.

I shot this back in Sept 2010 one night as I was listening to the breeze and watching the sun set. After that, this image literally sat on my harddrive, untouched, for over 4 months until I realized the beauty of it a few weeks ago. And even then I didn’t tweak it until last week. For the first time I actually changed my laptop’s background image instead of using the Apple-provided ones. It looks sooo pretty on the laptop. Every time I turn it on and see the photo I just gaze at it and smile. Deep sigh…ahh….

Lights at Night

Like many creatives, sometimes I get burnt out on photographing the same thing. It’s good to just play and recharge. The following is just that. Playing. This is a continuing series that started one night on the island of Oahu in 2008. The images watermarked with “Holland” were taken by either me or Jon. Can’t remember. The ones marked “Melinda Holland” are definitely mine.

I really like the following shot. Wish I could definitely take credit for it. But for some reason, I really think this one is Jon’s. Beautiful. Looks like an abstract landscape painting.
