Surfer on a Bike with Surf Board -- Coming Soon in 3D

Surfer on Bike with Surf Board

Silly, now of course you can only see it in it's 2D version.

The above photo is my first 3D photo taken just yesterday. New camera excitement!
I'm loving learning how to use this new camera (finepix real3D). As far as I know it is not yet really being offered here in the US. I'm happy I get to borrow it from time to time because of the start up company I'm involved in. To appreciate the photo in 3D, there's viewing screen to see it on. Or if the shot turns out especially nice I can get a 3D print made. Should be fun playing with this camera ;)

Historically speaking some of my favorite surfers on bikes with surf boards...

Raining Confetti & the Raging Sea - Inspiration Friday

Hey, hey, hey Friends
How was your day?
My day has been amazing!
Took the day and have just been relaxing.
Just finished catching up with a good friend of mine,
and now got yawl a new set of Inspiration Friday images!
Someone on the last Insp-Fri set asked why i didn't cite who the photographers were or where they came from.
and the truth of the matter is, i don't really know. i have an "inspiration" folder on my computer full of images,
but they aren't labeled, so i don't really know.
Sorry about that. If you know who did the photos, let me know; i would love to give credit.
The only image i know for sure is the Toulouse Lautrec painting on the left, 3 up from the bottom.
But i hope they inspire you! :)

Have a great night!

Thanksgiving - Warm Beach Day - Thanks!

Warm, beach weather this Thanksgiving Day in Santa Cruz. This photo was taken after today's breakfast. Fun, already a good game of volley ball was in play.

Now I'm back inside my kitchen. Thankful for the bounty... my beautiful Farmer's Market produce purchased just yesterday.

Bye, have a wonderful Thanksgiving Everyone!
Now signing off...as I begin cooking today's feast!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving~!
I know for alot of you, today isn't the US holiday called "Thanksgiving",
but i was thinking, why can't it be!
i mean, what a wonderful idea, a day to remember and think about what you are thankful for.
So, what are yawl thankful for?
Since one of the things i'm so thankful for is you all,
i thought i would make you a Special Thanksgiving Painting.
I was thinking you could share the painting with someone you're thankful for.
I thought a Karl Lagerfeld Thanksgiving would be a good start for a painting.
Oh, also dressed all the girls in the Chanel Spring 2010 Collection ;)
hahahaha i hope you like it! Hope it brightens your day!
Have a wonderful day, my friends! :)

P.S. I just realized this might be a considered a blogger portrait for Fake Karl...
What do you think? :)
