Oof. I've been Bluesky negligent 🤦‍♀️ Here's some eye candy to bring me back into the fold. These are in-camera ME abstractions of Gordon Huether's 2020 art installation at Salt Lake City International Airport, "The Canyon."

Thank you, Kristen! I grew up afraid of dogs; it wasn't until late HS that I started to let down my guard, and it was 20 yrs after that before I agreed w/my husband about adopting a dog. Now I'm the biggest dog mamma 😂 I just want ALL.THE.DOGS.

I can't resist sharing this pic I took last night of my sweet Gracie Belle. She is, of course, looking at me so intently because I'm holding a treat that she is eager to enjoy. Dogs are balm for the soul 🤎🤎🤎 #chocolatelab #labradorretriever

The delightful Sara Kushner joins me for this week's Pixels podcast episode for a chat about environmental self-portraiture. Her wisdom applies to both being in front of and behind the camera as she encourages us to take risks and stretch ourselves creatively. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2upz...

Estes Textures . From rough wood + sparkling snow to icy bubbles + ancient lichen...Marys Lake, Lily Lake, and Sprague Lake in/near Estes Park, CO, offered diverse delights for the visually curious 🤩. Sixteen small scenes from all three lakes, Feb 2025. #winterphotography #rmnp #textures

Curvelicious Photographed on an icy lake in Rocky Mtn NP. Those curves! 😍 And bonus: just feet from where I took this, I also experienced a new-to-me word: postholing. 😂 #rockynps #opaforwomen2025 #winterphotography #abstractnaturephotography #smallscenes

It's so fun! Lots of useful YouTube tutorials. I learned a lot from Tim Holtz, who has a line of inks with Ranger. It can be a bit overwhelming, sooo many options to play with. Hope she has a great time exploring!

Thanks, Anke! Here's the object :-) I had it placed on a lightpad so it was backlit and then did in-camera ME in Dark Mode. It was fun playing with different blend modes, tones, and compositions!

Beth Buelow @bethbuelow.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

Thank you, Sarah! I wasn't sure if I'd like the location, but it ended up being one of my favorites of the short trip. Curves are seductive, whether dunes or concrete 😉
