An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.

In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

Macro photography is a unique form of photography that involves photographing small objects to make them look life-sized or more significant in the photo. The usual subjects include flowers and small insects, which we don't normally get to see up close with the naked eye.

Title or Location: Enchanted Loupe
This piece was created after a representative from St Vincent de Paul contacted me asking if I?d like to donate to their annual fundraiser. I chose this with the idea of possibilities that are presented when volunteering your time as does this charity. The butterflies represent freedom with encouragement as the glass is a beginning for flight

This is my granddaughter who plays the oboe in the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony. She's about to leave in a couple of weeks to study music (oboe) at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Here she was playing a piece of music in her mind before playing it on the oboe. She was a delight to paint.

Title or Location: Her Charming Glade
Her charming Glade was created solely based on the image of this wonderful woman searching for love. The elements of this three dimensional piece, subject, background and floral foreground, all came from different sources. Each piece is hand, cut, and layered to create three-dimensional depth and realism. She is looking for magic, so I found an ethereal background that looked as if magic could be found. I pictured a Glade with a beautiful garden where she feels loved. The piece is meant to insp

Title or Location: Don?t give up
Events occur early on in life. Children process these events in different ways and they become overwhelmed. My grandson went through a difficult period in his family that left him sad and withdrawn. I wrote this poem and painting to let him know he would be okay in time, just don?t give up because pups see only today, tomorrow things change and often in ways that surprise us.

Oil sketch, 11?x14?. This is my first attempt with oils after a 38 year career as an exhibit designer. Started with quick turp washes, then built up some detail. I was going to continue, but I kind of like it the way it is. Anxious to start another, and having fun.

Title or Location: Wooden Wave
This piece is acrylic on wood. I used some scrap pieces I had cut from the end of a wooden board I was using. The actual wave and cliff are from where the knot in the board had separated. As soon as I saw it I knew what I was going to do with it. This is two pieces of wood, individually painted and then screwed together. I love upcycling these scraps.

Title or Location: A memorial drawing of George napping with Chris
I originally drew George for Chris a few years ago but after he passed more recently, Chris came to me with a photograph which he said meant a lot to him and asked if I could do a drawing of it. It was a bit of a challenge but I did the best I could with it and when I sent an image of my drawing to Chris he first just replied ?there are no words? but he then came back later with:?wish you had known him Alan and in a strange way it?s like you did. You portray my bond with him like no one else c
