Well, I have branched out and I am looking to create an art magazine based on color. I have been in the planning stages of this for several months now and I have finally launched a campaign through GoFundMe. I have a large goal to meet to complete a series of 4 publications which will include concept photography by myself as well as numerous art and written works submitted by other artists around the world.
For anyone who can, please go donate and help this project get started. And for those who cannot, I understand completely, but I ask you to at least share the idea and the link to donate. The more people who know about this project, the better chance I have of raising the money needed to completely fund it!
Also, if you are an artist, or art lover, you can follow the Facebook page for 1810: The Art Digest to keep up with fundraising and publications.

Getting Behind
Look at me getting behind on posting already. So much has been going on lately with personal things that I haven't had much time to keep everything updated. So here is a quick overview on what's been going on and I promise to make more complete posts about each of these at a later date.
#1- Crochet Frenzy
I have been doing a LOT of crocheting recently. Mostly because several of my holiday gifts are going to be crocheted items. Hats, scarves, baby blankets, and more are available to pre-order if you are interested in purchasing something for a friend or family member. Just send me an e-mail.
#2- Run or Dye
Perhaps you recall last month where I had the opportunity to shoot a colorful 5K run. Well, I was lucky enough to find another one to shoot as well. It was fun to be there and I was able to get some of the color toss shots this time. You know, the ones where hundreds of people toss their color packets at once!
#3- Shooting my son
Most people would get in trouble for shooting their son, but for me, it just means we took a lot of pictures! I noticed I didn't have any recent ones of him so I figured I needed to remedy that. (Let me explain recent, for me if I haven't had new pictures taken in the last 6 months, they aren't recent to me.) We visited several locations and I am happy to say that I can now create a new collage of him to hang on my wall.
#4- Shooting my daughter
Again...with a camera! My daughter is usually the one that get stuck modeling for me when I get an artistic idea gnawing at my brain. (Which is why I had plenty of recent pictures of her to create a collage with.) This idea is one I have had for a while, but haven't been able to complete due to schedule issues between my daughter and myself. I was so happy to be able to do this one finally and I got some really incredible images. (You'll be sorry you only get to see one on this post!)
Well, that about covers the major points for the time being. Keep your eyes open in the next few days for more detailed posts on each of these. Feel free to get in touch and schedule a portrait session with us! The fall leaves make for some beautiful backdrops right now!

Color Me Rad!
I had the privilege of shooting the Color Me Rad event at Altamont Fairgrounds this last Saturday. Let me tell you my arms are killing me....still! It was worth it though. I shot for 8 hours (not straight through, I did have a little break), I was covered in pink dust (I had to be stationed at the pink area, of course), and I managed to capture over 6,000 images. I haven't managed to go through them all yet, but I have picked out a few favorites that I would like to share.
Before the first race began there was a lot of music and jumping and energy.
Pink dust flying everywhere!
I love this shot...can't explain why when the head is cut off, but I do.
This one has me wondering what her story is....why is she running with shoes in her hands?
I think it's a prerequisite to dress up in the craziest fun costume possible for these races!
I have a few others up on our Facebook page and I may add others as I get through them and find ones I really like. I hope to be shooting more of these events in the future, so if you're planning on coming to one, be sure to smile at the camera!
