Kensington Sunset
Caught this colorful sunset from the top of the Kensington Hills above the East Bay. Thanks to RC Concepcion for his HDR book and inspiration. Stylized with the Nik Photography plug-ins for Photoshop. Used 7 bracketed images at 0.7 stop increments. Wire removal of overhead electrical and TV cables in PS CS6 was the only additional post processing. I think this would look great as a huge metal print hanging in a corporate boardroom, hotel lobby or high ceiling residential great room.

Angel Face Rose
Here is an Angel Face Rose freshened up by a chilly San Francisco first week of Spring rain shower. The intoxicating fragrance from one cut flower of this variety easily perfumes any room. This would look great as a medium sized canvas print hanging in your kitchen or sun room. How about small magnets for the fridge ?

Violetta Artichoke
Violetta Artichokes offering up their succulent purple goodness. These plants have been producing for around five years now here in San Francisco. Violettas are so very floral in appearance I'm reluctant to harvest them, but so yummy! This would look great as a big satin print hanging in a food co-op, restaurant or company dining area.

Raja
Portrait of Raja, our trans-species feline, blissing-out on a pile of soft wood chips warmed by the mid-day sun. Where else but here in San Francisco could he be cool coming out with the truth of his orientation. You see; Raja is a Dog (Beagle - Corgi mix, we think) trapped in the body of a Heterochromia iridum (one eye is blue, the other gold) Cat. I considered getting him a Facebook page, but even their 54 selections of sexual self-identification fall short of Raja's special needs. Fresh picked home grown organic Catnip, powerful enough to make our Tuxedo kitty Lily silly and swoon? No thanks! Buries it like poop. Spicy pork sausage? Better protect your plate, he'll nip your wrist to distract, circle and lunge like a hyena; dance, yap and beg like a Jack Russell Terrier for the littlest morsel. Besides small prints to grace your shelves, consider plastering Raja's smug mug on a . . . Mug!

Golden Raspberries
As our Golden Raspberries begin to ripen, I thought I'd rework a photo I took about three years ago. What I like about this capture is it depicts several stages of fruit development in the same image. The ripest berry has mostly separated from the cluster and is about to fall, there are some ripening fruits, a green unripe berry and also a flower which has just lost its petals. I think this would look great as a big metal print in the waiting area of your restaurant.

Beard of the Iris
Looking for all the world like a colony of sea creatures you'd expect to find at the Monterrey Aquarium; here is an intimate peek at the Beard of an Iris. Consider purchasing a few dozen of these as blank greeting cards in the Merchandise section after the Buy Button for writing personalized holiday messages and acknowledging life's milestones or events. Thanks in advance!
