In search of the seriously beautiful...

Welcome to my blog! A little bit of nature, a lot of people, a few models and musicians, some intriguing abstracts, and lots of everyday stuff we all see around us. Lots of motion, lots of great light, a little blur, a little music, a little tilt-shift, and that iconic moment when everything comes together perfectly. Welcome to my seriously beautiful life...

    Surreal double-imagery to magically immortalize moments in time...

    Do you Google yourself? I do! I used to do Search Engine Optimization professionally, so checking my rankings on certain key search terms is part of my regular routine. But it's also fun to search for my own name!

    Tonight I found a really cool description of my work...
    Cheryl Spelts Photography
    This native Southern Californian photographer specializes in fine art photography. Using a popular slow-shutter technique, she is able to create surreal double-imagery to magically immortalize moments in time.

    So I guess I'm soooo last century, huh? At least I'm modern.

    Google yourself! You might find something really fun!

    Am I Idyll? Or am I Wild?

    Maybe a little of both?

    I'm in Idyllwild! It's a beautiful little mountain town, with rock climbing, hiking, shopping, and lots of restaurants. It's also a bit like Snow White's Forrest - squirrels and chipmunks and blue jays all play together, with an occasional rabbit or deer joining in. I've actually seen five deer in the nearly two months I've been here. It's a magical place!
