My first post, a intimate moment between a mother and her hungry chick.  Hope you enjoy it!

This is my second post here at Photographica. I spent the whole morning taking all kinds of shots here in Stockholm, and this is one of the  pictures that I came up with.
I "tumbled" the pictures in PS and out came this Simplicity.
Hope you like it!

More to come...

I hope I am doing this right.  I love to take photos of nature.  Flowers are my true weakness but I also love the abstract structures you can find in nature.  Here are some of my favorite flower shots.busy bee

I'm not sure if this is actually the 'best' image I made all year, but it is one of my favorites and one that I have been playing with for quite some time now.

I'm also not sure it belongs in the Portrait category, but it's 'about' a person and it didn't really seem to fit in any of the other categories, either....

It was shot it Shanghai, China, early one morning in a public park that I stumbled upon during my wanderings in the old French Concession area.  At one end of the  parkway were lots of people waltzing in small groups to music coming from a tape recorder and just past that, there were 4 or 5 older men, writing chinese characters on the cement  walkway with large brushes and cups of water.  Their messages dried and faded away almost as soon as they finished making them....

I read very little chinese, so I have no idea what any of this means, but I call it shanghainese graffiti

This was one of my favorite pieces from my photography class. The assignment was to ONLY photograph a sheet of white paper. So I did photograph a sheet of white paper: after I turned it into a rose and placed it on what was left of the paper.

I took this Portrait of my daughter.

Photography can be very dangerous when you try to shoot an object from the middel of the road.Bridge

I tried so many times to get this shot. It took a drizzly day to get it right. I remember this weekend like it was yesterday....

 1st Day

  It was my first day snowboarding of the year.  None of my friends were able to make it up.  It was me, two bologna swandiches, and a couple inches of fresh snow in the Northstar parking lot.

 This shot was available for only a few seconds. I was lucky to be ready when it appeared. morning fog
