I have redesigned the website for a better appearance and easier navigation. On the home page I added a What's New list of recently added images. You can click on each listing to go directly to the pictures.
Over the past week I have added.... (click on the highlighted words to go to pictures or websites):
portraits of Salvador Torres, a pioneering Chicano muralist. He was one of the artists who painted the murals at Chicano Park in San Diego. I am involved in the preservation of another of his murals a few blocks away. It is a 400-foot mural painted on an old Kelco building at the base of the Coronado Bridge. My role is to photograph the demolition of the building and to document the damage (if any) to the mural walls. My friend Jeannette DeWyze wrote about this in her blog.
portraits taken at an International Women's Day event organized by Women's Empowerment International (WE). My friend Leigh Finley, who is involved with WE, asked me to come to the event and take pictures. The challenge was working with the overhead fluorescent lighting (typical of an office) which is neither flattering for portraits nor daylight balanced (fluorescents are usually too green).
travel pictures of China. In the fall of 2009 my daughter Erin and I traveled for three weeks throughout China. We started out in Shanghai, then Yellow Mountain, Xidi and Hongcun Villages, Suzhou, Xian, took a 4-day Yangtze River cruise, Guilin, Yangshuo, Guangzhou, Jiujiang (where we visited relatives), and Hong Kong. We had a guide and a chauffeur in every city. A fabulous trip! Erin continued on to Vietnam, Australia, and India. She drew and painted fabulous watercolors which you can see on her blog.

pictures of homes, primarily interiors. Occasionally, I take pictures of homes for realtors. What better way to document the way we live? I did this back in the late 1970's as well. Someday I will scan those old negatives and juxtapose images of interiors taken about 35 years apart...
