Focus On Love

Monday, 08 March 2010 13:41

Giving photos and not just taking them is becoming a big part of what F&B is about. Making a living with a camera is wonderful, but simply shooting for the love of it is something else entirely. Some of us got to experience that again firsthand last weekend. Several weeks ago we had contacted a transitional shelter in Santa Ana called Mercy House to see if the families there might be interested in having family portraits taken. We were contacted by Ashleigh who told us that they had several families who would like to participate. We set the date for February 27 and asked for volunteers from the F&B community . Quite a few stepped forward and the results were better than we could have hoped for.

Monthly Photo Challenge Winners

We are so excited to announce the winners of our first Monthly Photo Challenge. The theme of the month was "Love" and we got some great entries. First prize of the $75.00 Red River Paper gift certificate goes to Jeff Reeder for this wonderful capture. The composition, the expressions on the couple's faces, and the mirroring of the heart on the wall with the pose of the couple all come together to tell a beautiful story.

February Walk Winners!

The Getty Center was the location for our February photo walk. Though southern California was smack in the middle of a winter deluge, the dark clouds gave way to gorgous blue skies as we made our way around one of the most stunning architectural projects in Los Angeles. Opened in 1997, The Getty Center's permanent collection features pre-20th-century European paintings, drawings, illuminated manuscripts, sculpture, and decorative arts; and 19th- and 20th-century American and European photographs. We had about 75 or so join us for what turned out to be one of the best walks yet. We had a tough time going through the more than 500 photographs you submitted to the Faded & Blurred flickr group. In the end, there were three photos that we all kept coming back to as our favorites.
