We didn’t decorate for Christmas because we were going to be gone- so why bother? But we didn’t do it the last few years either, because of a lot of reasons- mostly the Bah-Humbug ones. But last year we made the trek north to Newport, Oregon to have Christmas with our estranged family after 9 years of…
A peaceful morning… So I went out to Nye Beach in Newport Oregon while we were staying for the week of Thanksgiving and visiting with family. I just had to make a little video, (with the new Lumix G95), edit in iMovie and then record a video on HOW to do it! Not too hard- Just in…
It was the most memorable stop on the whole tour through New Mexico with the ASP (American Society of Photographers) group, and impacted me way more than I would have ever expected. I had heard of Georgia O’Keefe and seen her artwork, which was pretty amazing, but didn’t know that much about her life or…
It was a slightly foggy morning, but it looked like the sun was about to pop out, so I grabbed my camera and boots and headed out to see what I could find. What a Score! We arrived at the BeachComber Inn in Fort Bragg, CA just about nightfall, so it was too late to…
Wide Open Walls in Boulevard Park One of my ongoing personal photo projects is #CelebrateMyCity, where I highlight areas and scenes in my home city that I personally like.

It’s been a happy blur…. All the weddings and festivities I’ve been able to capture lately has literally fed my [extreme extroverted] need for people, filled my love-bucket and boosted my confidence! I’ve done weddings for 35 years, but working for Joey Ikemoto, one of the best wedding photographers in the biz, has helped me…
METAL PRINTS are one of the most elegant and permanent ways you can present your images. I’ve explored the surfaces and treatments over the past couple of years and found it my Go-To Finish for so many products! It’s one of the first photo products I consider because of its many looks and styles (not to mention durability)….
Well, what DOES Suzette Say? Oh, Snap!! Ok, so I admit, I’ve pretty much been MIA (missing in action) for two months. Basically, I dropped out of social media and my normal life, but I’m back and I’m trying to rustle up something to say. After all, this blog is about whatever I say, right? …
Well in lieu of my blog today I need to post one of my favorite short films of all time! It’s so valid for today- especially with our mask-wearing season- I truly miss people’s smiles! This is a winner especially for photographers or just anyone who needs a reason to smile! Wait for the end…
I love the magic of Photoshop and the ability to create an Angelic Vision like this of a friend’s grand-girls! My fellow photographic friend and visionary Laurie Hughes designed this concept of her grandkids but because of the pandemic, we kept putting it off. Finally, we just had to do it before they all grew…
