after driving back from my adventures in capturing rainbows I glanced in my rear view to see these crazy colors. The sky was this freakish yellow/ orange and glowing in front of me but the sky behind me was blue as could be.

Putah Creek

Putah Creek, originally uploaded by - Maggie-.

Putah Creek runs from Lake Berryessa (up by Winters) through Winters, Vacaville, Davis and into Fairfield. This is the creek responsible for flooding the houses on the left side years ago when we had hellacious rain.
What looks like vignetting is actually the edges of the chain link fencing I was trying to fit my 50mm lens into (the holes were maybe 2.5 inches wide).

Five Questions

T too-much-perfection.blogspot.com/ emailed me some interview questions...here goes!

1. How did you start taking such amazing pictures? Did you take classes or go to school for it? Wow, thanks for saying so. I've loved taking pictures as long as I can remember. I took a photography class in the 10th grade but that was it. I'm not really big on formalized lessons for anything...more of a learn-as-I-go kind of gal. I take pictures of things that i like, love, things that inspire me or make me laugh. It's always a bonus when someone else gets something from them as well.

2. Your graphic art work is so beautiful. How did you get into graphic design? Again, I've been into cartooning and art since a young age. I took an art class in 7th grade (I think) but you already know how I feel about "classes" ;) . Once I discovered photoshop my art went to a whole other level. I could do more do things differently. There were so many more possibilities! I "almost" majored in graphic art but didn't. Shoulda, woulda, coulda!


3. Which character from the Twilight Saga could you relate to the most and why?
Ooooh. I related most to Bella. She's kind of a loner, on the outside a bit. She's a good friend, a realist somewhat. She is who she is an accepts that. Embraces that. She's clumsy. A thinker. Once she finds love her whole world revolves around that. Family means everything to her, as it does to me.

4. What do you look forward to the most in the year 2009?Everything....just better. I'm making myself step out of my comfort zone to turn some "hobbies" into a career (if only on the side). I'm going to Hawaii in March with my parents to photograph, essentially, my Dads last time there. It's hard to think about it in a way but I'm honored to bring these pictures back home. I'm hoping it will be a better year in SO many ways because '08 really, really sucked.

5. What is your favorite quality within yourself?um...my ability to think myself through a situation and come up with a solution. That and the fact I'm a total goof-ball. :D
