Bonnie Polson Photography

Bonnie Polson Photography Bay Area photographer. I love making images of landscapes, street scenes, little nature surprises, flowers and home gardener. I can help!

See https://www.bonniepolsonphotography.com I'm having too much fun traveling, creating realistic and artistic photographs, and sharing with you. I'm happy to teach tricks for improving your photography. I taught lots of people as a Speech Pathologist in public schools and private practice, until retirement, so don't give up. I hope my sense of joy that I've captured resonates with you.

Interior designers often talk about sightlines. They're the natural path your eye travels when you enter or move through a room.

Most people never think about this consciously, but they feel it. Art placed directly in a sightline changes a room immediately.

Placement is as intentional as the work itself.

Where would you put Jump In and Cool Off?

I think "Merced River Flood Yosemite" could fit into a few different places. Where will you display it?

When a heat wave melts the snowpack in Yosemite, as it did in May, 2017, the Merced River running through the park flooded its banks. An astonishing scene emerged, with meadows full of water. I got there two weeks after the initial flood, but the trees had watermarks showing high the water had been. Although a stark reminder of what changing climate can do, it was also beautiful.

Stop by the Alameda County Fair Art Pavilion on July 1st or 2nd (form 1-5 pm) when I'm discussing and demonstrating photography. I'll have this and more for you to see for yourself.

A lot of people hold off on collecting art because they rent and feel uncertain about committing to walls they do not own. But art does not belong to a wall. It belongs to you.

Renting is not a reason to live with bare walls. It is a reason to collect work that matters enough to keep moving (and growing) with you.

"Pigeon Point Lighthouse" and my other work are connected to the people who love them, not just the places they're displayed.

Sunset Swim

Walking along this marina, with the sun setting and reflecting on the water, I felt incredibly serene and peaceful. The warm colors of the sunset, the gentle ripples in the water, and the tranquility of the scene created a sense of calm and relaxation. It was a perfect moment to unwind, reflect, and appreciate the beauty of nature. This cormorant was taking a sunset swim, and I, with camera in hand, captured the him enjoying the idyllic atmosphere, in harmony with his environment.

Collectors often choose artwork because it keeps giving long after the moment it’s received, and "Once Upon a Time" carries that kind of energy.

Do you know where this was shot? Quite a fairy-tale place.
If you're planning to be at the Alameda County Fair, stop by the Fine Art Pavilion on July 1st or 2nd, from 1-5 pm. I'll be there to discuss and demonstrate some photography and would love to see you!
