A question that often comes up in my workshops is about the way I use colors in my images, and how the natural light I use influences those colors. In this blogpost I want to talk about the importance of understanding light, how it changes during the day and how you can best use it to your advantage with the Lensbaby wands.

The beginning of a New Year is always my time to reflect on personal growth. 2020 was an especially challenging year for all of us and even more so for us here in Southern California with the riots and wildfires that took place earlier this year. Beyond that, the number of Coronavirus cases are sky-rocketing and another stay-at-home order will keep us from socializing well into 2021. However, while living a socially distanced life, photography has helped me tremendously in dealing with stress. Today I want to talk about the benefits of a 365 photography project and invite you to join my online community over at Gather Academy.
