Last weekend, I was up in Georgetown, a town in the divide area just out of Auburn about 30 minutes. As I was walking around this quintessential gold-rush village, I noticed a somewhat jarring, very modern sign for such a charming little place. On one hand, I was glad to see the Safe Surrender placard, and wondered why I havenʻt noticed more of them in urban areas where I tend to think more of impoverished or unwell parents needing to relinquish their children. On the other hand, it was definitely a poignant insight into the challenges facing some families, now more than ever. 👀. 📷

I was delighted to be invited to donate a piece to the @lodiartcenter's first ever Lottery for the Arts. I chose "San Diego Sunflowers," which has a been a very popular work over the past few years. (It is #4 in the catalog.) It was obviously a digitally-manipulated image from a vase of sunflowers, but someone the unflattened PS file got lost along the way to try and duplicate the technique on other similar pictures. 👀. 📷. https://lodiartcenter.org/lotterycatalogofart

Eighty Photoshop layers later, I offer you "Ikeda'

Eighty Photoshop layers later, I offer you "Ikeda's with Cherries." @ikedas_market is a local market, shop and restaurant that is one of two that are iconic in the Sierra foothills here. The original photo that I'm also posting was pretty blah, so I found some whimsical inspiration in those great California fruit crate labels that you see occasionally in this area for something a little different! 👀 📷. 🍒

"Out at the Atlantis": Last weekend, I found this

"Out at the Atlantis": Last weekend, I found this couple sort of touching. They were obviously taking a break in an empty space upstairs at the casino. It was a gloomy, cloudy day, and they were part of the newly unmasked, vaccinated crowd. The image feels a little representative of the transition we are in - sunny skies not out yet, but the re-opening is under way...👀. 📷

Here's something a little different... "Citrona Sweet Peas" is a digitally manipulated image I created from a fairly boring photo of a grouping of sweet peas at Citrona Farms. I took the original image as part of @YoloArtsCA monthly Ag & Art outing. I wanted bright and colorful, and so it is, yes? 👀 📷

"Windmill and Flowers": Another multiple exposure

"Windmill and Flowers": Another multiple exposure from the Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Garden at Golden Gate Park. The windmill is a super cool, authentic Dutch one, and originally served as part of the irrigation system that pumped water to the plants in the park. Queen W. was a strong woman who ruled the Netherlands for fifty years, longer than any other Dutch monarch. She was known as a strong leader who still respected the viewpoints of her people. 👀. 📷

"Mat Cutting with Chris": It took a little while to get edited, but this is the first minute of my new 17-min video on cutting a basic custom mat for a print. The link for the full video is https://youtu.be/ErhCsw7jP6c. 👀 📷

I'm delighted to have my "Zoe in Wonderland" and "Super Library" pieces be accepted into the juried show "Opening Doors" at the @CarnegieTurlock Arts Center. The show is celebrating the reopening and expansion of the Turlock library and the call was for art that celebrates, what else, reading and libraries! The stories of these images and more can be found on my website at imagesbychrisa.com. 👀 📷

I'm so pleased to have my "Lemon Drop" juried into @bluelinearts annual "Lottery for the Arts" fundraiser event. This year's event will be held virtually on May 13. However, the preview event (free) is open for in-person viewing this Friday, if you RSVP so they can properly contain numbers etc. Would love to see some of you locals there! https://www.bluelinearts.org/the-lottery-for-the-arts 👀. 📷

How fun! My entry for "Abandoned" from last weeke

How fun! My entry for "Abandoned" from last weekend out in Capay with YoloArts won with Sacramento Photographers and is their FB header image this next week. I was trying out my new 16mm Nikor fisheye lens on the 1963 Dodge truck I found (there's usually a charming old vehicle to be found somewhere on these farms). 👀 📷
