Canon 5D Mark ii

I was reading an article that filled me with pride about my choice of cameras.

I knew, long before now, that the Canon 5D Mark ii was a great camera. When it came out in 2008 I couldn't wait to get it. I was the owner, at that time, of a 20D and using a 5D at school. I was almost done with school and wanted to make sure I had something that was a good quality and reliable. I have loved using my 5D Mark ii for the last 16 months because quite honestly the camera kicks ass!

Today I read the article, which started this whole posting off, that the season finale for House was recorded just on the 5D Mark ii. What a great statement about a great camera!

When I am out searching for flowers there are so many things that I think about when picking them out. I think about the colors that are available and remember what I photographed last, texture, the way that the flower opens itself up.

Since I brought up color - there are so many beautiful shades and yet I seem to draw to some of the same ones over and over. Green is my favorite color but not the typical color of flowers. The other day my husband and I were watching an episode of Friends, season 9, where Ross and Rachel were in their apartment and there was a vase full of green goddess calla lilies as well as another vase of calla lilies. I had to go back and search through my green goddess calla lilies images and worked this one up.

I also updated my etsy shop with a few of the smaller images of mine. All of these images are on photographic paper and in an edition of 200. I will be adding more soon so check back for updates. http://www.etsy.com/shop/AnnaChipman

625 Gallery

Anna Chipman and ValJean Anderson

Intimate Abstractions and Recovery Riders

I have been talking about this show for a bit now but it finally happened!!! We were very excited for December 3rd which was the reception for our gallery opening at 625 Sutter Gallery. We had a really great turn out and soooooooooooo much fun! This show will be up all of December in San Francisco.

As always there are plenty of photographs that weren't in this show and you can see more of them at www.annachipman.com and www.valjeananderson.com.

Today's fortune

Today while walking next to the lake I saw a fortune on the ground. At first I almost walked past thinking this is someone else’s fortune I should just leave it...but I obviously didn't. I wondered how what someone else got could relate to me and my day. I find myself reminded that we can't change anyone but ourselves. A thing like this, finding a fortune, is just a little reminder of that.
