Posted on August 30, 2011 by Gary Wium

Posted on August 29, 2011 by Gary Wium

Our band has played several festival gigs over the past couple of weeks. White canopied shade structures are the norm. The soft top-lighting in the shade of a canopy against a very bright, mid-day background makes for interesting photo play … Continue reading →

Bridge to nowhere

Pulled from the archives, this shot was taken back in early July out in Monte Rio, CA. The bridge crosses the Russian River, but in this image it’s just an abstraction on a road to nowhere. Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm. … Continue reading →

Old school musician

Posted on August 24, 2011 by Gary Wium

Here’s another image from last weekend’s accordion festival. This guy is old school, but his look is très cool. No need for color–his vibe is all about black and white. I grabbed the shot while standing just outside a small … Continue reading →

Pink hair with solar backlighting

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Gary Wium

Here’s a shot taken at our booth at the Cotati Accordion Festival this past weekend–Renée and Sean doing business, each in their own way. I REALLY like the “overexposed” look of this shot! I can see more of this style … Continue reading →

This past weekend our band played at the Cotati Accordion Festival. Our set was on Saturday, but Maggie and I were there all day, both days, selling merch and hanging with friends and fans. When I wasn’t at the booth … Continue reading →

Blogging in limbo

Posted on August 19, 2011 by Gary Wium

My blog got migrated to a new server on August 8th, but the DNS didn’t kick in until 2 days ago. Weird, I know. So, except for this post, it’s frozen on 8/8 until my ISP gets around to restoring … Continue reading →

Pushing the envelope

Posted on August 17, 2011 by Gary Wium

I’ve been an avid Photoshop user since the early 90s. During the first 7 years of my current career I did a LOT of image production work in Photoshop. So, yeah, I can make it go. I took this image … Continue reading →
