Going through old pics, scanning them for something to do, and found these. Both represent speed, one from the seat of a Yamaha, and the other is a pic of clouds rolling in at high speed, taken from the top of Mt. Mitchell.

They've been draining a pond near my house, so I've been going over there every so often to see if I can get some good wildlife photos (lots of egrets and cranes). Unfortunately, those birds rather skittish. But have been able to get a few others.

Out on a small island which I was finally able to walk to, you can find three or four duck eggs scattered about, sadly unhatched. Or maybe they are Canadian Goose eggs, I'm not sure.

The Train is on a wall in Irondale, Ala. , and the Chicken was in the front window....this little shop was next door to the Whistle Stop Restaurant of "Fried Green Tomatoes" fame.

We just returned from a nice day of sea and surf when we took a peek of the beach from our room. This shot was snapped and I think it turned out rather well. Memorial Sunset on Panama City Beach

I was outside for the first time since...forever because my cousin was here to drop something off, and while I was heading back into the house, I spotted my grandma's plants under her window. I saw this really pretty rose on there, and it was...BEAUTIFUL. All the others had wilted already from the hot California sun, and this one just stood there. It was so pretty. I was going to take the whole bush so you could compare them, but I had to go back in the house, so here's the single rose: click to see. Tell me what you think. :D

motion! lights, and a carousel. brings back childhood carnival memories.

This is my first attempt at photography so uhh don't laugh. Hehe, anyway, it's the ramp at my school at night which got messed up with my camera and I thought it looked sort of cool...so there. :D go see it

We went for a drive in the old chevy. We found milk, and afixer-upperhighrise.

Laos was by far the best place I visited. Unspoiled and innocent. No western fastfood chains. In some places no electricity. In all places friendly people with smiling faces.

the most rewarding thing about photography for me is finding beauty in the things people tend to overlook.

alien space ship, or jack-leg oil rig?

I have been shooting with different camera settings over the last few days and I really am very pleased with the colors it has produced.. I'd love to hear some of your opinions about this.. :)

I snapped a portrait of my grandmother while out to eat. I tried a new technique and some different camera settings, so I'd really appreciate it if anyone had any feedback on this picture.

Out for a walk tonight, I happened past the Saks store. The mannequin displays were rather colorful and the lighting worked well, so I took a few shots: 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5. Placed alongside my last post, I think I'm starting to fall into a habit of photographing representations of people. I guess they seem to stay still a bit longer than real people do, though these two guys wandered by and were perfectly willing to hold their poses.

Today I couldn't help but get out and try to capture as much of the nature life as was possible. Here's a little of what I was able to catch:

   Columbine.

   Daisies.

   More Daisies.

   California Poppies.

   Rose.

whilst rummaging around, i found some old digital "snapshots" i had taken.. here are two:
spoon?
cup and spoon

I was going through some of the first pictures I took with my camera and pulled out two of my favorites: eightball and lighter.

In more recent pictures, I thought this spider was cool. I was scared to death taking the picture, but.. it was worth it.
