White Balance (WB)
» ‎ Juniper Seahorses

Tags: [edit]

While photographing the Broad River office in PDX, I found myself changing my white balance throughout the shoot. The Western Oregon weather was typical with the clouds and the sun battling for dominance and interfering with my stage. It was interesting to see my WB image test results - as they're a great example that attests the importance of understanding white balance.

You can also reference the Wiki definition of white balance.

Which image do you think is a true representation?

Answer: photo two.

Another fabulous week spent in Bend, Oregon comes to an end.

After living away for almost a year - I now know how blessed I am to have parents that chose such a beautiful town in which to raise my older Brother Jason and me. There is a gut feeling of love that fills within me when I am back in the Alfalfa House with my deep down teddy bear of a Father, Larry. No matter how fierce his black 'Van Dyke' mustache is - his laugh and smile soften his intimidating disposition. It's an amazing thing to witness a friendship with my Father develop. We have never been so close.

Sometimes I can't believe the ways that my days will unfold while in Bend. Each venue I entered this week I saw a familiar smiling face with open arms. Each stop made was so important and so valued.

Attending yoga with Marie - what better way to reconnect than to exhaust ourselves in the healthy, yet painful choice of yoga? Picking Ivan up from school to see his cheeks hold back the purest smile until he can't bare the excitement anymore and his belly laugh fills the car!!

Thump Coffee seems to be the heart of My Bend - where I began and ended my week. First meeting my unrelated twin Sister, Kristin, and leaving with a new friend made over an unplanned Caffé Americano, Jack.

The PR princesses of Campbell Consulting Group, Inc. had a successful event full of hairy men - the Nat'l Beard and Moustache Championships. This was the center of my trip and what an unexpected pleasure the event became. I hope to stay connected to my new friends - both media and beard competitors from around the States.

Finding time to catch up with old friends and making time to create new friendships is my challenge. I feel that I have the good fortune of finding a career that allows this opportunity in each task. Meeting and enjoying the company of Paul Roof, the bearded Pop Culture Professor from South Carolina; the flashing lens talent of Karolina Wojtasik from the IFC in New York; and especially the instantly connected and great listener, Jack Passion a.k.a. Big Red.

Such vibrant people I was able to meet in my once tiny hometown that is now big enough to still offer the small world quality.

To celebrate my upgrade to Flickr Pro - I have uploaded ALL of my lavender shots from earlier this Spring. I usually pick around three images from a shoot, edit, procrastinate and maybe find time to post on my blog. Now I can post 'em all with a single click!

Note: none of these images are edited, as there are stunning without additional time invested.

The Interior of the Whiteside Theatre - pre rehabilitation April 2010
» ‎ Juniper Seahorses

Tags: [edit]

A family of film pioneers created a gem gone unknown - the Whiteside Theatre downtown Corvallis, Ore. on Madison Avenue.

You would or probably already have walked past it without a second glance. Even with updated marquee board announcements, and an eye-catching "W" out front that slightly resembles a hang-ten hand motion - the façade (although decorative and historic) does not light up the day or night sky to bring people in effortlessly. Most likely you'll walk past with your morning latte in hand from Starbucks across the street.

Nevertheless, what is the Whiteside Theatre?

Answer: A grand movie palace with a lot of history to be preserved.

To my limited online knowledge, the theatre was built in 1922 by the Whiteside Brothers, in honor of their father. The Brothers were pioneers in their field and built the venue to play silent films along side the outspoken pipe organ. Still inside today, are the details that spoke silently to me.

I walked through the front doors with no pre-conceived expectations, and the view from overhead the auditorium was stunning. Gold, yes actual GOLD paint accents, rose and taupe woven carpets, Italian Renaissance Architecture themes, a traditional mezzanine, royalty seating a.k.a. "gardens" and outstanding balcony seating are all hidden inside the Whiteside.

Fast forward to 2002: The lights have been off even since, with a few exceptions. Through the non-profit corporation, the Whiteside Theatre Foundation, money is being raised to rehabilitate and reopen the Whiteside. Part of their efforts include offering tours to the public to educate, gain recognition and inform the city of their cause with hope to procure donations and additional grant opportunities. With tours being offered weekly, how could we say no?

Along with a free tour, be sure to bring your camera. You'll be expected to enter a photo contest (through the month of April 2010) being held on Facebook.

Digging for Priceless Treasures
» ‎ Juniper Seahorses

Tags: [edit]

"What ARE WE doing, Boyfriend?" with my observation questioned aloud to Chris, I couldn't stop laughing or focus, literally - I was unable to focus the lens. He was kneeling down with the giant circle shaped reflector above his head, arms stretched high and obviously uncomfortable - but still passionate in offering effective lighting to the subject! Ridiculous, and so perfect. By the end of our 'shoot,' there wasn't even a shot of the new hardware that did the imperfect, coral-red knobs justice.

Commuting home from Bend to Corvallis, I always try and stop at a thrift store along the way (or completely out of the way) to score some random treasures. My favorite is Rich's Bargains Thrift Store directly off HWY 20 before entering Lebanon, Ore.. Rich has so much junk that he gives things away at crazy low prices.

Among the many endless thrift stores, garage sales and junk stores; my discovered treasures include: the most functionally distressed metal-enforced wooden chair, a chest of drawers, luggage, blue mason jars, a cast iron skillet and most recently - red ceramic cabinet knobs.

I brought the knobs home with no plans for use, maybe to sell them on Etsy or give them to a friend who was in need of new cabinet hardware. ;) But, as I walked into my white, white and even more white kitchen... I knew. While Chris was chopping dinner up (fresh ahi tuna ceviche!!), I installed the coral-red knobs in minutes. Automatically, I cleaned the kitchen up, brought out the tripod, reflectors and camera to begin the photo shoot, ending in laughter and confusion of what exactly we sought to accomplish.

I bought twenty-four of the knobs because they are just that cool. Price? Six for a dollar. And, you have to DIG for them in all of the piles of junk at Rich's Thrift Store! You can not beat that, if that's your thing. :)

Congratulations to two of our closest friends, some of the best pie creators (the Italian kind), and certainly a great duo - Claire and Kevin!!

They've asked us to take the official Engagement photos - but these are a sneak peak at the Engagement Party from last week.

Chris shot these while I used the Holga (tba in another blog post). I edited them today and then made Poladroids out of 'em. The shots are all black and white - so it's interesting to see the colors that the Poladroid brings out.

Larry Gets Published

Via @thebulletin on twitter, I found a photo submission for Well Shot Portraits - the best to be printed in The Bend Bulletin.

Here was my photo submission. I took this photo of Larry a while ago with his manual Minolta from High School, which was given to him by his Dad. We were out shooting pictures downtown Bend that day for a photography class I was taking at COCC.

Larry called me at 9AM today to tell me he had received 5 phone calls already - friends asking him about the picture, making sure he got a copy himself.

"Thank you, Daughter," was Larry's response to my submission.

And I followed with, "You're welcome, Father."

Vintage button rings
» ‎ Juniper Seahorses

Tags: [edit]

My latest accessory has not been the usual scarf, necklace or pair of jewels... it has been a vintage button, tied in lace or ribbon as a ring. A new one each day, "Which button are you wearing today, Love," asks Chris. I love this - the question, the buttons, and especially the man. ;)

I've been collecting buttons at antique stores for a while now - and I've finally found a lovely little use for them!

Most that I've collected are made of fabric, not plastic - and all are available for sale or trade (except the wool button with a brass detail, featured below - this one is for Kristin, as it just screams, "KRISTIN!"). I'm more interested in sharing the little treasures, rather than profiting, and I would love to help find and create the ring for you.

There were no bread pans, and the first batch of zuchinni muffins were not amazing, so... a trip the The Goodwill was in order. The yellow $1.00 bundt cake pan was the winner along with the tacky yet glamorous green glass lamp that I adore!

When it comes to texting, which gender is more expressive?

By Kim Cooper Findling
Indiana University researchers recently determined that when it comes to texting, women are the more expressive sex. Compared with men, they concluded, women write messages closest to the character-count limit, use more abbreviations and insertions and employ more emoticons (like smiling and frowning faces).

Bend resident and text fanatic Jacqueline Smith, 22, says she isn’t surprised. “Women rock,” she says. Smith not only agrees with the study’s determination that women were more inclined to text messages that expressed enthusiasm, sadness, emphasis and individuality, she thinks it’s a sign of a more complex form of the method. “We’re already so accustomed to multi-tasking. We can vacuum, make a cup of tea, check email, listen to music and text all at the same time. Guys don’t seem to do that.”

But Smith disagrees with research conclusions that women use more non-standard language, like the abbreviations OMG (oh my God) and CU (see you)."I think that men tend to shorten words more when texting,” she says. “I don’t abbreviate—I spell things out.”

A Growing Trend
Regardless of how they text, more and more members of both genders are texting these days. The practice has become so common that most people will admit to at least attempting to send a text—even if it took them ten minutes to input their message.

It’s possible that a majority of people currently tolerate texting. Then there are those who love texting.

Smith says she sends and receives a total average of 30 texts a day during the week. (If that seems like a lot, consider that 15-year-old Kate Moore of Iowa, who recently won the LG U.S. National Texting Championship, sends an average of 400 to 470 texts a day.) Smith claims many advantages, including saving phone minutes, quick delivery of a message and the ability to have multiple conversations at once. “Personally, I hate voice mail,” she says. So much so in fact that she recently hired a service called phonetag.com that translates her voicemails into text messages. “I don’t want to use my minutes to check voicemail.”

Heidi Berkman, 40, also a texting fan, agrees that women are more likely to spell out words and run out of characters. “It’s not uncommon for women to have to send two different messages to say what they need to say,” she says. Berkman’s female friends are more likely than men to text to make plans or relay quick updates. But she appreciates the opportunity to text with men for another reason—flirting. “Texting is fun and it’s easy to banter back and forth,” she explains. “Flirting comes partly because of what’s in the message but also because it’s instant. It increases the fun and allure.”

Central Oregon Community College Professor of Speech Communication Karen Huck says that if women do text more often and more expressively, that would align with research on spoken communication. “The previous data on feminine-style communicators versus masculine-style communicators suggests that masculine-style communicators are more concerned with hierarchy and independence and female-style communicators are more concerned with connection and interdependence,” she explains. “Texting seems to be a highly connective/interdependent activity.”

Women may just be more expressive in general. “Previous research has also shown that women tend to use more complex facial expressions and change topic more often during conversation,” says Huck. “This seems to be related, in part, to the expressive, rather than the rhetorical function of communication.” Or maybe women are more texting-fluent simply because of the keypad. “Heck,” concludes Huck, “Texting also requires smaller hands to do with any comfort!”

A Downside
Both Berkman and Smith are quick to point out disadvantages to texting, too.
Smith is in a long-distance relationship. When it comes to romance, she says, texting can take away from other more meaningful forms of communication. “Voice time is really important,” she says. “We end up texting more than talking on the phone, and it doesn’t compare.” When never to text, according to Smith: “To break up with someone. That’s horrible.” Not that (fortunately) she’s suffered such an insult personally.

Relationships aside from the romantic are not always amenable to texting, either. “My father gets so annoyed,” says Smith.

“I think you have to be careful with it,” says Berkman who sends and receives ten to twenty texts a day. When it comes to flirting, she says, “There’s so much room for misunderstanding. It can be fun but frustrating if you feel you aren’t getting the answer you’d hoped for.” Too much can be read into a poorly communicated message—or worse, one that is unreturned.

Workplace etiquette must be taken into consideration, too. “It’s good for casual conversation or to communicate information, but beyond that you have to use caution, especially professionally,” says Berkman, who works as a marketing and special events consultant. Is there a time when you shouldn’t text? “Yeah,” she says. “When you are driving.”

Smith likens text messaging to Facebook and other social networking Web sites. “We feel like we’re keeping in touch, but aren’t really. Texting doesn’t compete with real face time. I think a lot of us are misled by that. It’s fun. But it’s not reality.”

Depth of Field Examples, Koi Pond
» ‎ Juniper Seahorses

Tags: [edit]

I'm going to start posting a minimum of three photos for each posting, in attempt to try and tell more of a story with each post. The photos below are a casual approach to show depth of field, and what it can do for a photo.

There was a small pond filled with some koi fish. Here are a few of the pond and how I saw it. I'd rather not include srroundings in photos, only the subject - and get creative while focusing in on the subject, it's textures and natural patterns. These shots were over-exposed, but I lowered the brightness and upped the saturation to increase the green.

Logo Creation for Jamie L. Gerlitz, Attorney at Law
» ‎ Juniper Seahorses

Tags: [edit]

Logo Design and Website Development Project

In May 2009, I was privileged to meet Jamie Gerlitz, via another woman I've done Public Relations work for since December 2008 in Central Oregon. Jamie and I met to discuss what she wanted and created a timeline. She expressed her budget and also specifically stated what we she not want.

Jamie had one month until her Private Law Practice opened in Bend, Jamie L. Gerlitz, Attorney at Law. All from scratch: logo, website, blog, images, content, business cards, letterhead and postcards.

I'll be honest, it was two months until the project was 100% done - deliverables in hand, website complete, blog up and running, and all invoices paid. In the end, Jamie and I were both satisfied with the outcome.

This project was a very insightful one, and I hope to get the opportunity to work with another professional individual like Jamie in the future. It was especially nice to have less people involved and more responsibility on my own plate to manage, rather than working on a large team and only contributing in small doses. I learned a lot about the process and I'm excited to put what I learned to work on my next project.

Thank you for reading and please keep an eye out for my new Juniper Seahorses logo, website and renovated blog to feature all of my work surrounding; public relations, marketing, branding, graphic design, content and freelance writing, photo editing and all my photography endeavours.

Be well,

A Sexy Photo Session
» ‎ Juniper Seahorses

Tags: [edit]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

One experience every single person should have: a sexy photo session. For reals.

I would rather photograph people over product, but I would rather photograph one person over a group any day!

The intimacy and connection that is made between the photographer and the client is obvious in the resulting images. We can view the images together, make modifications, edits and ensure you are happy with the images before you leave the studio. This is something that you don't get very often!

An art site I love is ffffound.com. Here, I always find great images that I would love to reproduce. 'Gwarf always has some interesting posts.

If you want to see your sexy self, get some shots for a significant other, refer a friend to be photographed, to see some more examples from my searches and shootz, or just ask some questions - let's talk. Email me at juniperseahorses@gmail.com.

¡Congrats Mama Deb & Mike!
» ‎ Juniper Seahorses

Tags: [edit]

Saturday, June 6, 2009 Deb and Mike were married in Bend, OR. More pictures are to come, but I had to post this image because of her blue dress and the orange mamosa contrast!

Deb became Mama Deb to me during a former relationship of mine, and today we are just as close as we were almost 4 years ago when we first met. Although I don't see Deb as much now, I still think of her as one of my many Surrogate Moms I've been so lucky to have in my life.

Without women like Deb in my life - I would still be working at Quiznos, wearing my Brothers hand-me-downs, and never truly owning up to my talents and rockin' all that I am, each day... while loving every moment of it. That last one, well... I'm still working on it, but Deb was the one to kick me in gear. I love her for that.

To the left is my latest published writing piece in Cascade Business News, all thanks to Renee Davidson at GrassrootsPR in Bend, Ore. Renee and I have worked together at Campbell Consulting Group, Inc. for almost a year. December 2008, I started to work with Renee directly at her own local firm, GrassrootsPR.

This article was fun to write, if only I submitted a photo to go with the story! Where was I on that one?

Here is another article I wrote for Commute Options for Central Oregon, published June 15, 2009, entitled "How to Keep Kids Busy All Summer."

Matchbox Pinhole Camera images edited with Adobe Photoshop
» ‎ Juniper Seahorses

Tags: [edit]

This gorgeous post demonstrates the world of photoshop, small maybe, but necessary! ;)
I used a series of tools to remove the distraction (my knuckles) from the bottom left hand corner of the original image, below.
Magic wandclone stampsmudgeblurburn... repeat!cropcontrast etc.
I would rather not edit M Box photos, but this one has so much to offer that I couldn't resist. Plus, my knuckles were not one of those (frequent) mistakes I've come to love!

As for the framing, I wonder how much impact the employees realize they have on our M Box photos...

Be well!

Our latest matchbox pinhole images are posted and they are stellar!

There are several more from this roll to be posted, and I think I'm next to post on M Box B Log.

"The Dancer," as I have so cleverly entitled this image, is my favourite one! I really wanted to post a certain shot Chris took of her, but I'll leave that to him. Hopefully he will post on M Box B Log to share with you all.

Quite abstract and wonderful.

I like the team Chris and I make.

Buenos por Tu
» ‎ Juniper Seahorses

Tags: [edit]

Let's all be honest for a second. I have no idea who you are.

Apparently, I have a following of past Professors, clients, friends, and of-course my supportive Woody Allen/Ashton Kutcher-esque Boyfriend, Chris (if you look at my post comments, they tend to be from an illusive "Christabo l" or from his cool friend, Dylan, I have yet to meet).

Even through Google Labs, I can track where this blog is sought from, and most of the link referrals originate via hyper-linked Facebook and twitter status updates, (I have jumped off the MySpace bandwagon and begun the obession of tweet-ing) or random Google searches.

What I'm getting at is this: who are you?, how did you find me?, are you enjoying your visit?, etc. ;)

"Buenos por Tu" is my assuming accurate Spanish translation of "Goods for You."

Recently, which means this past year, I have enjoyed textures, cropped images, and lines more than before. I hope you can see a little more of who I am through the work that I present for you, with little-to-no posting consistency, here on my blog.

¡Gracias!

I like that Kangas' tag is in focus, even with the whiskers above it. Kanga is one of the better cats I have been around, although he bites when he thinks he's kissing. It's been two days of the little man at my house and he already thinks it's all for him. Typical cat.

Set of Three

Tags: [edit]

In the last photography class that I took at COCC with Jolokai, there was a student who really inspired me. He took a great photo, and I don't think he knew how great it was. The image contained six balanced textures in an 8x11 frame, black and white. It was divided by natural occurring (man-made) vertical lines and contained the pavement of the road, traction cinders, the curb, bark, grass and the sidewalk. All parallel, balanced and busy... but so simple. One day I'll see it again and smile.

Larry
» ‎ Juniper Seahorses

Tags: [edit]

This is my favourite picture of Larry, my father. I took this about two years ago with his 35 mm Minolta that he passed on to me.

I scanned an 8.5 x 11 inch photo in and the black frame is a crop of the actual mat-board that the photo is mounted on. I've been wanting to scan in all my manual pictures, and now I'm wishing I had done so sooner. It looks like I am harder on things than I thought. I spent quite some time in Photoshop 'spot healing' all the scratches and attempting to do the picture justice after being scanned.

I think Larry looks like an Icon or Hero in this shot, and I like that.

On my way to PDX to catch my flight to Maui - there was tree on the highway completely decorated for Christmas 2008 - right before the Mt. Wilson turn-off (heading North). I stopped to take a picture and below the tree was a very old Kodak camera, even with it's original black leather case attached to the wrist band. A little dirty but the film canister is as good as new. Once I get home I'm loading it up with some film.

When Matt Coty says "climb," what he really means is... drive past Madras, hike on hidden trail, vertical climb to summit, boulder to routes, climb amazing columns at sunset, boulder back to "trail," descend in the dark, crush right knee and then float Deschutes back to camp. Our day was, for lack of a better word, perfect. After my first climb, I summed up the day in a sentence, "Every step was worth it - just for that climb." Allison and I were blown away at this unknown climbers paradise - of which Matt Coty has mastered over the past 5 years of living in Bend, OR.

Because of The Rain (which lasted at least 6 days straight) we were not able to hike the entire Tonagura Crossing, but we did a good size loop. Even with the weather, Kate and I were laughing at each other for our entire lack of planning that went into the hike and my shoe choice thanks to a shoe thief earlier in the trip. When we reached the lake, it was not visible and we started to head back. That's when the real rain started. We were sprinting back and jumping rock to rock, drenched, soaked, but still laughing… deliriously. When we reached our little home on wheels - tomato soup, warm bread, dry clothes and tea. Happiness.

Kristin and I took off for Washington DC to see her friends from Kenyon College and for me to check out the East Coast. We landed in Baltimore after a long series of flights, all of which Kristin slept through. I, on the other hand, learned I am not the best sleeper on planes. The infamous ipod helped me out, but the landings are a whole separate bag, literally. We did the tourist day filled with American History at its finest and enjoyed Georgetown to its fullest.
