Joy within the Garden

​This last quarter, I have been working on a new photographic portfolio: Joy within the Garden

It has been such a fun yet challenging process! There were so many steps between beginning and end. First there was selecting the portfolio theme, then the photos, then narrowing down the photos, then testing out papers for printing, and sampling photo and mat board sizes. Then there was the sequencing, final printing, matting, reprinting if necessary until everything was perfect and then it would go into a portfolio box. Soon the photos will be hung and shared in shows, but for now everything is complete.

This was no easy process but it was made much simpler by going through it all with a group of passionate photographers under the direction of Kate Jordahl at Foothill College. We have learned so much and we are so excited to share our completed portfolios!

So with no further ado, let me finally reveal my final portfolio:

Phew – I’m so happy to be done and am so happy with the final results! We have two upcoming shows if you are interested in seeing the completed work. For more information, please check out: http://foothillphoto57.weebly.com/
