the visual journal of Ars Magna Studio - fine art portrait & wedding photography
I met Katie, and her mother, author Cynthia Patton at their home the day following Katie’s 5th birthday. She literally bounced between her new trampoline and her painting easel and the couch.

Been a bit tardy in posting these images from the trip to Care Free. The conference was terrific; new friends made, new ideas hatched, new inspirations blooming left and right.

Later in the week my parents joined me, and we enjoyed an afternoon at Taliesin West. I came to a greater appreciation of the living sketches and spaces that FLW and his school created.
Books on the wall of book-shelving in FLW’s bedroom. Not surprising to find Kandinsky here.
Blue Angel sculpture in the sculpture garden.
The restful living room. I love the feel of this space.
I’ll be heading out to Care Free, Arizona tomorrow morning to attend the Digital Wedding Forum Convention and to check out Imaging USA. My folks are flying in at the end of the week, and we will be having a belated holiday/birthday celebration with them and my in-laws.
As well as the many workshops, lectures and gatherings that will be afoot during the convention, we also have planned a tour of Chase Field (home of the Arizona D’backs) and a day trip to Arcosanti (home of experimental arcologies).
Have a great week!
