Happy Thanksgiving!!!

      Green Chiles                                                                                       by Sarah Brown

I am making my famous chorizo and green chile stuffing. Although this year, the Anaheim chiles were a bit spicy; so, I left them to the side. Before I brought them to my dad's for roasting, I had to make a few arrangements. Their fragrance is still lingering in my studio. I wanted to post some new still life images that I made for the Thanksgiving holiday. I took some time reflecting on a new Japanese saying, " Kusa no Mono." I added the rooster for longevity, the indian basket for our history, the bench for welcoming guests, the basket and apple for the harvest(personal memories of apple picking), and the squashes for color. The fabrics are from a box of my mother's that I found in the attic.

Getting in the Mood for the Holidays! I love the feeling that November brings around. Everyone is getting excitied for the one reason or another. I love the family getting together; everyone taking a break from the business of daily stuff. I find we all need a break from constant going, especially here in Southeast Florida. 

May you all enjoy being with family and friends over the coming weeks. Warm wishes for all.

Monarch Butterfly Begins Anew!

I spent the morning from about 6:15 to after 8am watching this amazing act of nature. The first frame is the initial exit of the chyrisalis; the wings take some time to unfold and stretch out; once flat, the buttfly begins to practice flapping and dry the new wings. Do I dare get metaphoric?

Halloween Portraits!

Is anyone else surprised that Halloween in almost here? I finally accepted this past Friday at a great party! Between the cute costumes and the candy, I had a great time. I am always available for that special event or even just because. Here are some photos:

Experimenting with HDR and Oceanscapes

I have a new body of work inspired by my childhood of growing up on the Atlantic Ocean coastline in PB County, Florida. There is something inherently beautiful about the ocean or any body of water within each state of being. One of my first memories of a significant body of water was in Vermont. I woke early and alone walked to the dock to watch the sunrise. I can remember the details of the water: her color, the water dew bugs, and the steam rising as the sun rose. I was only 12 or 13 years old, but the majestic presence and beauty left me in awe. This morning, over 20 years (wow!) later the wind was blowing and the ocean surf was ruff with rip currents. The power of water is amazing to me. I am experimenting a bit with HDR and combining multiple frames of exposures without any hint of being overly processed. As most of my colleagues and clients know, I am dedicated to creating work of photographic integrity, as I did in the wet darkroom.  


So, check out my new portfolio of work: Oceaneana:
