Morning Beach Walk {Florida Fine Art Photography}

It never fails. I set my alarm well before sunrise and I have to convince myself to get to the beach "on time."

Snuggled up in my warm bed, packing my camera gear seems like a chore. How does going to the beach ever become a chore? Especially when EVERY time I go, I come back grateful I had gone.

Today, for example...

In my almost 10 years of living in South Florida, I'd never seen as many shells (on the east coast, anyway) as I did today!

Meditation.

An "up-cycled" aluminum can.

I picked up so many shells that my camera bag was filled by the time I was done taking photos. Wait, I don't think I'll ever be done taking photos...

For the Designers/Photogs in My Life...

Does anyone else envision the world in PSD? I remember going outside after breaking from a long editing session one day and thinking the sky's midtones needed to be punched up a bit. Here's a cute video for those of you whose glasses are shades of Photoshop:

10.10.10- Worldwide Moment Captured

Here's my "Worldwide Moment" image captured at 10:10am (6:10am EST!)



My internal clock has had me working LATE in the evenings so I knew 6:10 would come early. About 5 minutes before the "moment" happened I decided what I wanted to shoot. I had some paint laying around from my cd album cover experimentations. Since John Lennon's 70th birthday celebration had just passed, it's a tribute to him.

Palm Beach County Photographer Documents Local Band

Wow what a busy last couple of months! So many photos to share...here's a few photos from the shoot last night with "Luna Rex." The band contacted me after they had won a huge competition sponsored by Gator Cases. Luna Rex won the grand prize of a complete custom outfitting of cases for their band! In addition they got a professional photoshoot to document all of their precious new winnings. So I was honored to be recommended by the band and Gator Cases accepted! While I work on the final commercial images, here are a few fun ones taken at the very impressive Dc Rhearsal in downtown West Palm Beach. What a great space to shoot photos! (I hear there rates for rehearsal space are great too.) Anyway, thank you to everyone involved. Enjoy these:

Fresh Art: Monica McGivern

When Collen Doughner of City Link Magazine called, I was a little concerned about the two cups of coffee I had just drank on an empty stomach. I am happy to share that she expertly sifted through my ramblings to create this piece about me as an artist:

Fresh Art: Monica McGivern

Did Andy Warhol predict this? I'd like to hope the "15 minutes of fame" allows me to showcase all of those people who have inspired me along the way!

My husband, for example...

I'll be updating this with time. Wait isn't that the definition of a blog? What I mean is that I know I have a lot of fun of Montreal pictures that I'll be posting so be sure to check back in the future if you're interested. Thank you.
