Dogs!

Standing pretty

When I drool on myself

And once around the ring please

As we go speeding through our day, every once in awhile it is good to slow down.

Tired and Alone

These are the photos I have received the most comments and views on Flicker. There is something about the photos of the homeless, things abandoned. These photos tell a story, a story with no words.

Park your car here!

Always looking for new ideas to practice in photography. The latest is blurring the lights at night. Still not the best at it, but practice will make perfect. Next hoping to make it to the beach to try this technique out with the waves crashing into the beach.

Utah textures

When traveling to Snow Canyon State Park and Bryce Canyon in Utah, some of the shots I found most interesting were those depicting texture. Something as simple as the side of a sand dune shows the ripples created from the blowing wind. While spending an afternoon at Snow Canyon State park just outside of St. George, Utah the wind began to blow so hard it was near impossible to keep the door of the car open even for a minute to try and capture a quick shot. All I ended up with was a face full of sand and a dirty camera lens. Now I have a new respect for those who lived through the great dust storms having no where to escape to, all I had to do was shut the car door and drive away.
