I want to share some images of places and things that are special to me. I have been shooting portraits for about eight years and I still enjoy it (don't misunderstand me), but I have been falling in love with capturing the landscape and character in China and Colorado. It may be awhile before I get back to China (two trips in eight months) but yearly trips to Colorado are keeping my creative juices flowing. Above and below are from Beijing. Years ago ('90-'92) when I lived in Hong Kong, I began taking pictures of random bicycles (back in the day of film cameras, gasp). So now it's kinda my thing to look for when I travel. The one below was outside a Tex-Mex restaurant, yes, I said Tex-Mex . . . in China.
Below are two images from trips to Colorado. I found the kayaks while hubby and I cruised around Salida as it began to snow. The color of the boats against the red brick with the snow on the ground makes it one of my favorites.
I caught the tail end of this rainbow at Waunita Hot Springs Ranch. I was running as fast as I could to get just the right angle to shoot. I knew it would be gone as fast as it came, and it was.
I have a printed portfolio of a group of images from China and a group of images from Colorado. I would be thrilled to show them to you, if you find yourself interested in having a print. Feel free to contact me at lchivvis@gmail.com.
