Pasadena city hall's central domed tower. |
Avid photographer/actor, Gale Davis made this delightful video
as a student during my workshop. He gets extra credit for this
production he knocked out in short order. Thank Gale!

My good friends at the Pasadena Museum of History invited me to lead a photography workshop, on a blazing blue sky morning Saturday as it turned out. Perfect light to study the effects of shadows especially. Super nice and attentive group, with a range of cameras. These intrepid camera slingers followed me around the grounds and interior of city hall for some tips and advice. Here's few snaps I made in the course of the workshop. Thanks for making this a fine outing in Crown City! Jim Staub

ReplyDeleteI have some danish friends on blogspot, but one day I began to
ReplyDeletesearch for new sites, and I found yours.
My english is not perfect, so we have to keep it simple.
You posted a picture of a totally blue sky.
Every morning on Danish radio we hear Donald Peers singing an old
Erwin Berlin song
"Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see"
Have a nice day
How fitting you should connect the sky I created to that classic song, Blue Skies. Hadn't thought of it. Hope you are having a bit of blue now and then in Denmark. Your English is way better than my non-existent Danish, Karsten! All the best, Jim
