A short while after we got off the plane in Amsterdam, our friend Scott took us to the world-famous Kuchengarten to see the incredible flower displays. It was truly a sight to behold, especially in the spring. What is so amazing about these images is that the place was crawling with hundreds of tourists yet I was able to compose quite a few shots without any people present, and no, I did not Photoshop them out. Once again, the jpg quality that I used does not show a lot of the detail in the images, but I think the vibrant colors do come across as true to life. It was almost too much after even a short time there!
Kuchengarten is indeed a place that you cannot really describe to anyone--after all, how could anyone describe a garden that has over 3 million bulbs planted in it. All of the shots have very strong compositions that allow you to move easily within the image. How you got all the shots without people everywhere is beyond me. Some day get me to tell you about my visit to Kuchengarten
“A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety” -Ansel Adams
When my only child went off to college in 2004, I started taking photography classes. First through Continuing Education, then 2 black and white film classes. After that I joined the Bay Area Photo Club and started learning about digital photography. Since the fall of 2009 I have been involved in animal advocacy and rescue and I also photograph homeless animals for 3 different groups. My husband of 33 years is my biggest supporter, in all ways, and I could not pursue this hobby without him.
