Once Upon A Time, There Was A Magical Place . . .

After more than two decades, the story of Carpe Diem Studio has officially come to an end. THANK YOU ALL for sharing this chapter of our lives -- you will be fondly remembered and greatly missed!

Goodbye & love always -- Miss Sally : }

Years & years ago I fell in love with someone who was one of the reasons I fell in love with photography. He was an extraordinary photographer himself, and I remember that he commented on how the last shot on the roll of film was always somehow special.

Maybe, he said, it was because you weren't wanting to spend that last frame until you saw "the shot", or maybe it was because you could truly see your subject better by the time you'd spent a roll or two of film looking at them. Regardless, he said, the last shot of the session was often the best.

For twenty or so years now, I've noticed that he was right -- the last shot more often than not somehow speaks to me. So with that, I'll share with you the last shot for Carpe Diem Studio - images from the official last session. I like them -- they speak to me. : )

I made friends with the charming Kwabena years ago when photographing his family; how delightful to spend time with him again when we created these portraits to commemorate his receiving his Master's Degree! I'm so proud of you, Kobby! : )

Believe it or not, my favorite part of the process takes place not in the camera room but in the finishing room. That's when a pretty image gets to become a beautiful heirloom painting, and when photos get the proper treatment, like retouching, cropping and framing, to become portraits. That -- for me -- is when the real magic has always happened. Back in the day, it used to be in the darkroom, but these days it's in print finishing that a photograph really comes to life and becomes what it was meant to be. : )

"It is written in God's word
That sons are a heritage from the Lord,
And little children are His reward,
You, sweet child, are a gift from God."

The closest thing I get to having grandchildren is when "my" Carpe Diem Kid's Club kids grow up & have babies of their own & bring them to me. Melts my heart every time!! : )

Good to be back in town and back in the garden! This evening I've restrung & hung several windchimes in the airy pittosporum branches, so now The White Garden calls to me in yet another way from outside my window. And as if it weren't intoxicating enough out there, we now have gardenias adding their perfume to the mix!

A new addition to The White Garden this year is this White-Out Rose, a creamy cousin of the familiar hot-pink Knock-Out Roses. The second round of buds are just opening up, and I'm excited to see just how much of the year we have roses blooming in The White Garden!
