CHELSEA MORNING

Jo Ann Tomaselli ~ Fine Art Photography

A dramatic colorful dawn.
A vibrant sun barely peeking above the horizon.
A brilliant turquoise blue sky mirrored on the waters’ surface.
A seagull perfectly silhouetted in a water-world landscape.
The strains of a song running through my head.

Many times when I’m photographing, I’ll hear a song drifting in my mind. If it’s persistent enough it becomes the title for the image.  On the day I took this image, I couldn’t get the song ‘Chelsea Morning’ by Joni Mitchell out of my head!

In her 1967 introduction to ‘Chelsea Morning’ at the White Swan in Leicester, Joni said this of her song “This is my Chelsea Song. It’s also full of morning and rainbows and much the same things because it was inspired by the same set of stained glass windows.”

Happy humming!

Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning

A solitary oak tree stands strong amid the grapevines…

Rows of wine grapes curve up and over the hill in a vineyard in the Edna Valley region of San Luis Obispo County, California. A part of the San Luis Obispo Coastal Wine Trail, a drive through this area entails whizzing past multiple wineries, all open to a public eager to sample the bounty of this incredibly fertile valley. While I’m personally not a wine drinker (oddly enough it makes me sneeze), I still love this area for its incredible beauty. I find it mesmerizing to stare out the window of a moving car, watching row after row of bright green grapevines fade out into the distance.

A RAY OF HOPE

Jo Ann Tomaselli ~ Fine Art Photography

“‘Twas the month of Christmas and on every single day,
I thought of the things that might brighten your way.
And then it just hit me, like a sleigh hits a roof,
that with your own thoughts, you could be your own proof.

So choose them with care and lots of emotion,
because it’s what you are feeling that sets them in motion.
And when the clock strikes 12, on a particular eve,
you might not believe all that’s under your tree.” Mike Dooley

2014

BLUE HOUR

Jo Ann Tomaselli ~ Fine Art Photography

I’m an early riser and consider it a blessing to be awake during the most magical time of day, valued by artists and photographers, and appropriately called ‘the blue hour’.

The blue hour happens as a result of science and to garner an understanding of the forces that align to make this magic light appear, it’s best to let Wickipedia explain it:

“The blue hour is the period of twilight each morning and evening when the sun is a significant distance below the horizon and the residual, indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue hue. This effect is caused by the relative diffusability of short blue wavelengths of light versus the longer red wavelengths.

During the blue “hour” (typically the period is about 40 minutes in length), red light passes straight into space while blue light is scattered in the atmosphere…
