I've spoken before on how much I love candid photography, and I love the fleeting memories they represent.  Nothing lasts long, and we're always moving forward in our lives; the world is constantly changing. (more…)

Happy Friday!!  I fortunately get this holiday off from work, so I'll be catching up on a few items that have fallen by the wayside.  The three-day weekend is a welcome birthday gift :) This week on Instagram, I continued playing with some grid photos (are you liking this new…

As you know, I love landscape photography.  But I also have another love - a completely different genre that doesn't seem to fit into this at all. I love candids. (more…)

Weekly Challenge: Failing at being a Con Photo Manager

November 27, 2016 by Brianna Shade

When I saw the first challenge for this week - "It's not this time of year without..." - I thought I'd have fun with posting some beautiful autumn pictures, odes to squash, or my anticipation of a big family Christmas. [caption id="attachment_8755" align="aligncenter" width="5184"] Ghost Neko were everywhere![/caption] Then I…

This year's Kumoricon was one of the most exciting yet.  It was our last at the Hilton Convention Center, so I especially wanted to soak it all in.  We had one of the best photographer groups.. lots of great talent and solid work ethics.  It was a relief over some…

Kumoricon ’15: Days 1 & 2

In my last post, I summarized my journey into the geekdom of anime.  I have been to many conventions, and I continue to add more to my repertoire, but my heart and my home lie with Kumoricon.  It's easy to claim this convention as mine.  It's local, anime-specific, and it…

#NoRegrets. We climbed up #waterfalls and peeked under mossy logs. The #PacificNorthwest is such a beautiful place, and I never get bored! Even if the hike is a little crazy and the company even more so! ... Who do you like hiking with? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018

#NoRegrets. We drove everywhere in #Norway! It's such a #beautifulcountry, and we couldn't help but stop every hundred yards or so to take more photos. This meant we didn't get to drive quite as far north as we originally wanted, but what we did see was worth every moment. Besides, we can't see it all in one trip; we need an excuse to go back! ...

#NoRegrets. Venturing down to the river that runs in front of #Zion's Watchman, I found I quite liked the view of the closer rock face. While everyone else was focused on the iconic formation, I couldn't help shooting everything in all directions. #ZionNP is too beautiful not to! ...

#NoRegrets. After we arrived in #Norway, we were stranded for a bit in #Kyrping waiting for a friend's luggage. Fortunately, the spot was spectacularly beautiful, and we had so many #seagulls to keep us company. One even decided to dive-bomb me repeatedly as I walked to the end of the pier. The water there was also perfectly still, so I had fun photographing the mirrored images. ... Have you ever been stuck somewhere because the airline lost your bag?

#NoRegrets. While enjoying the views all around you, don't forget to look down! I loved the simple patterns of the steps highlighted by colorful #fallenleaves. Beauty was literally all around. ... How do you like to enjoy #fallcolors?

#NoRegrets. After a long day of hiking near #MountAdams, we ventured down into the valley to capture some #fallcolors. It was a beautiful day, and the lighting was simply superb. It was more than worth the extra hour or so before returning home, and it wound up being the highlight of the day! ...

#NoRegrets. I simply love #fallcolors, and I almost completely missed them due to my busy busy life. But even the drive out to this hike near #MtAdams was awash in reds and golds, so I quickly forgot my to-do list. I'm glad we stopped on the way in, as the lighting was better than when we left, and this tiny copse of trees was perfect to photograph. ... Which is your favorite season?

#NoRegrets. This image was shot off the side of the road on our way to scope out #fallcolors near #MtAdams in #WashingtonState. We drove across a cute little bridge, briefly espied this lovely stream, then immediately stopped to backtrack. So worth the detour! ...

#NoRegrets. Some hikes take us to #waterfalls. Some hikes take us behind waterfalls. This one took us *up* waterfalls. There wasn't much trail to be had, so we scrambled up along the banks from one system to the next. The entire stretch was gorgeous and totally worth nearly falling in on a number of occasions! ... What is the craziest hike you've done? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
