Foxfire – Gray Ghost

This starts my posting of the Foxfire portfolio. It will be part of a group show at Modern Book Gallery opening on March 2nd.
Uvas Canyon#3
 |
This was taken on our New Year’s eve visit to Uvas Canyon. Although our weather has been very warm, it was cold, damp and chilling in the canyon. We had very limited time because we had to rush back for an appointment to adopt our new little dog, Maizy Girl. I was chatting on the phone with Mother today and she says "Where is my picture from Uvas Canyon?" Ok Mom. here it is. I have two different versions of this photo. One is smiling and the other is frowning. I posted the smiling version.
Uvas Canyon #2
 |
This is another taken during my brief visit to Uvas Canyon. I seem to be going back to infrared photography.
Way Back
 |
Given that I barely did any shooting over the holidays, I decided to do a little archive raiding. This image was one of my first images taken back in 2003. I had owned my digital SLR for about 6 weeks and was attending a weekend workshop up in Point Reyes with Chip. We got up insanely early for sunrise on Drakes Beach. This was the first time that I had used a tripod.
Uvas Canyon

This one has sat in the camera for a few days. It was taken on New Years eve. Later that day, we adopted a new little dog named Maizy Girl through the wonderful Ohlone Humane Society. She is about 2 years old and is mostly black with white socks on her feet and a white chest blaze. She has silky longish hair, standup ears and a curly tail. We call her Monkey Face because of all her expressions. After a little review, I am almost certain that she is a purebred Papillon although she was labeled a Pomeranian mix. Her pictures may be up for a while on Petfinder.
2006 Year in Photos
 |
I decided to create a slideshow of all the images that I posted to DorothyPhoto in 2006 on Flickr. Even though I say I am a photo a day blog, I ended up with 458 images. To see the slideshow, click here. Given the length of the slideshow, I suggest you set the time between images to something 1-2 seconds.
Backlit Oaks
 |
This is the last of New Year’s Day photos from Sunol. Earlier in the day, I was remarking that all my infrared photos were taken in soft light (open shade). Mainly because I go out to Sunol after work and the valley is already shaded by the time that I arrive. Well, this one is very different and shows dramatic backlighting.
Magic Tree
 |
This is another from Sunol of New Year’s Day. Mother and I met up with Doug and Aphra. Together we hiked out to Little Yosemite. I detoured along the way to visit my favorite tree and Mother’s favorite. On the way, Mother did not know which tree I was talking about. When we approached, she says "Oh, the magic tree". It is actually a Live Inland Oak. It is up on the bank of the creek but when the creek is really flowing some water and boulders get deposited around it.
Sunol New Year's Day
 |
Today, we went out on a hike to Little Yosemite in Sunol. There were a lot of folks out probably for their New Year’s resolution and the beautiful weather.
