Ethel, the Boston Terrier

April 7, 2014February 9, 2022 bigbertha

I was at a party recently and got completely distracted by Ethel, the Boston Terrier. The plan was to photograph people—my friends—but the dog got all my attention. I’m sure you can understand why.  She’s very photogenic. My friend David … Continue reading Ethel, the Boston Terrier

A year ago I thought of starting a photography series on hands – young and old.  Although I was very excited about the idea – I didn’t get very far in making it happen.  I was waiting for the right … Continue reading Grandma’s Hands

Football!

March 9, 2014February 9, 2022 bigbertha

I pride myself in not watching the Super Bowl— not even for the commercials.  That’s why today’s post is especially compelling. Greg Kimbrough, or as I like to call him, Dr. House, is my gym trainer from a few years … Continue reading Football!

Thanksgiving Photography

November 30, 2013February 9, 2022 bigbertha

Nearly every occasion or non-occasion you’ll find me with a camera around my neck or within reach.  I like to be prepared.  I knew I’d be taking photos of food—but the day’s photo shoot took a different twist.  My uncle, … Continue reading Thanksgiving Photography

Michigan Christmas

November 17, 2013February 9, 2022 bigbertha

One of my favorite Christmas experiences was visiting my friend and her family in Michigan.  If my count serves me right, at that time Michelle was up to 7 children—and all of them were (and still are) the sweetest children … Continue reading Michigan Christmas

Wingback Chair at Central Expressway

October 21, 2013February 9, 2022 bigbertha

These are among my favorite photos—I’ve wondered where or how I’d use them.  Now that I have this blog this is the perfect place. I don’t remember the circumstances that brought me to this intersection along the Central Expressway access … Continue reading Wingback Chair at Central Expressway

The man without a face.

October 16, 2013February 9, 2022 bigbertha

I visited one of my favorite stores recently, HobbyTown USA, to make an important purchase for the blog. They were a bit pricey but I think they are well worth the investment. The train conductor made his debut on a … Continue reading The man without a face.

A series of events led to this day

October 14, 2013February 9, 2022 bigbertha

It all started because of that Dale Carnegie course I took a few years ago… I made a friend in that class, Fernando, who was probably as nervous as I was to take the course and give speeches—but it turned out … Continue reading A series of events led to this day
