This photo taken this Summer at Myrtle Beach fills me with inspiration and creativity.

My eyes lead me all the way to the end of the pier towards the light.

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday! I am excited for the weekend... how about you? It's my husband's birthday tomorrow, so we will treat ourselves to a fun night out! Other news, I finished the home painting I have been working on. To see a quick step by step, hop on over to Watercolors by Laura Trevey blog... and probably the most exciting event of the day, we had a new refrigerator delivered! Yes, we had our old one for 15 years.... definitely time to update. More on that next week. Thanks for visiting BB&B as always, and meet me back here tomorrow for the Best of the Week round-up.

Headed Home

We are headed home tomorrow, and I hope that Hurricane Irene stays off the East Coast for everyone! The storms are brewing in Boca, and they do make for gorgeous ocean views. This shot was taken from our window.

Magnificent Met Museum

In order to start photographing my book, I first had to upgrade my camera.  After appealing to the powers that be at Canon for a discount, to no avail, I plunked down a boatload of money for the Canon EOS 5D Mark II.  As I joked on Twitter, learning to use this camera was like trying to drive a Ferrari after only having ridden a Vespa.  I decided that a great place to practice and escape the heat would be The Metropolitan Museum of Art.  The Greek and Roman Galleries are my absolute favorite places to visit and were my first stop.  I was inspired to shoot in black and white by the hauntingly beautiful photos of statues in Florence and The Louvre by Christopher Draghi. What always strikes me is how alive the statues still look to this day.  I really had the feeling that some of them were going to all of the sudden start speaking to me.  These galleries are really magical and magnificent but with help from Bill Blass, see last photo, I would expect nothing less.
