My iphone came in handy to take this shot of Frank Gehry’s Rock Temple. It’s shining undulating candy colored forms were quite a contrast to Seattle’s public library where Rem Koolhaas designed a stacked multifaceted form out of steel and glass. The weather was spectacular - clear and sunny. We ate salmon. We spent time on the water. We had nice walks and talks. Life couldn’t have been better.
Happy 4th of July!

We met at a cocktail party that I didn’t want to go to. He told me about leaving home at fourteen, being in South Africa where he was a lifeguard, meeting twin girls in polka dot bikinis and waiting on tables in New York. (The Mafia and Marlene Dietrich came in for breakfast at 4 AM.) He drove me home in his British racing green Austin Healey. We ran out of gas on the Bay Bridge. As we walked across the bridge he said, “Stick with me kid and you’ll never be bored.”

I took a couple of courses from BetterPhoto.com while I was away from my studio. It was fun. People from different parts of the United States and from other countries were in my classes. Each week we would get an assignment. We’d work on it for a week, submit it and then get an online critique from our teacher. Besides getting feedback from our teacher we learned from each other. Some of my photos are there. Try googling http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/gallery.asp?mem=275274

I don’t know why the lines are going through the picture. They don’t seem to be going through the dove image. I wonder if somehow the camera picked up the grid of the cage and the colors in the garden.

In September 2007 our destination was the drugstore which was located in Mugabe’s casino in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Passing a huge statue we entered his casino where we saw stores selling American safari clothes, a Pizza Parlor and more places to eat, drink and buy tourist souveniers. The place was empty except for a little school room where the children were singing Christmas carols. We crossed the border into Botswana where we camped in the bush and lived with the animals for a couple of weeks - a very special experience, beautiful. ” HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe’s justice minister lost his seat on Monday and first election results showed the opposition level with President Robert Mugabe’s party, but counting delays fuelled opposition suspicions …..”‘

I went into an aviary with the birds yesterday and took this picture in Tv or time value mode on my camera. I chose a slow shutter speed because I wanted to show the action of the dove’s wings, Aperture: f16 Shutter Speed: 1/6 ISO 100
