While taking some Autumn leaf photos in the park recently I noticed this woman walking two Dalmatians.  Being I am a dog lover I had to stop her and play with the dogs before taking a photo of one of them.  This little girl is 10 years old.

Frosty morning mood at the station.

Cowboy Up!  Believe it or not you can find cowboys in L.A.  A ranch hand relaxes after a hard day’s work at Sunset Ranch Hollywood.  Out of Sunset Ranch Hollywood you can take horseback tours through Griffith Park with a view of the Hollywood sign.

This image has appeared twice already- on November 5 and just just this past Sunday, November 9 as part of Robyn G’s One Four Challenge– one image processed 4 different ways and posted, one each week through November. As soon as I chose the image I sat down and did 6 different takes on it. I like the b & w version so thought I’d use it here. Joe, I hope you don’t mind!

After the long warm summer, a thin crowd potters at peace under the dark clouds of oncoming autumn along the boardwalk from Brighton Beach to Coney Island.

Firstly let me explain the title for those not in the know. “Skin and Blister” is Cockney rhyming slang for Sister. Meet my Big sister Eunice.

I find you have to work at getting a relaxed shot of people even if it’s people you know well. This time I think I nailed it. There was lots of light from behind streaming through the windows of the café. I took the camera and metered away from the light . As it turnrd out I got the shot I wanted 1st time . The lightmeter on my Leica maybe a simple centre weighted  type but if you know how to use it it’s easy to adjust for such scenes..

Try some portraits this weekend. If you are shy ask people you know  to pose for you. Have a great weekend
