Cuba 2009 : October 2009: The trip to Cuba was organized by Bill Bachmann. Twenty-four of us traveled in style in an air conditioned bus -- and Padre Bill got the shots for us! People were friendly, open, and excited to hear we were from "the states". Lots of folks have cousins all over the U.S. and were especially familiar with my home state, California. These are just a few of the photos taken, with more to come.

Guatemala 1976 : In the spring of 1976, I traveled to Guatemala for a weaving workshop. I was then co-owner of the Handweavers of Los Altos and interested in all kinds of fiber arts, so when the chance to travel and learn how to weave on a backstrap loom from a Guatemalan, I was packed & ready to go. I thought all my slides had been lost, but this last move I found these few, had them scanned and now am posting. They have brought back incredible memories of that trip. We stayed on Lake Atitlan in a hotel, held our weaving classes near the lake. The town of Panajachel was just over a hill, so many afternoons we'd walk to town. Hope you will enjoy the photos.

PHOTO MONTAGE : This gallery of photo montage pieces came about by trial and error, reading & trying, and finally, wonderful classes by Carol Leigh (www.photoexplorations.com I've entered this wonderful, frustrating, world of Photo Montage. Some pieces went together easily, others with a lot of trial & error (& tears!). It's fun when it works.

Your Bio

Photography has been a wonderful obsession for many years. My first camera was a gift from my parents when I was 10 -- a Brownie Hawkeye. That year, we were camping in Kings Canyon State Park & I was trying to get closer to a deer in our campsite -- the deer wasn't happy & kicked at me. Fortunately the brown case to the camera was all that got scratched -- and now I use my zoom lens to get closer to critters.

I've started a blog of current photos, if you are interested check them out at http://judysphotoblog.blogspot.com/

As an adult, I've always recorded any family get-together, birthdays, vacations -- any occasion for that matter.

Along the way I've taken workshops and classes: on-going on-line workshops with Carol Leigh ( http://www.photoexploration.com); Traveled to San Miguel de Allende and a workshop with Linda Waidhoffer; NewBrunswick Canada with Freeman Patterson and Andre Gallante; enjoyed a week in Cuba with Bill Bachmann -- and all because of my photography passion. I'm happiest when I'm out and about with my camera; either walking, kayaking or sailing.

I hope you'll enjoy the start of this new website. Comments always appreciated. For more current work follow me at http://judysphotoblog.blogspot.com
