Brace yourselves
I was on a mission to get some photographs last saturday. I wanted snow pictures, I obviously didn't have a lot of options thanks to the weather's less than successful attempt to make the below freezing temperatures worth a d@mn. But I did go out with my camera with intentions of taking pictures. And hopefully taking good pictures. I got a few that I liked, I've posted those. I thought they were sub-par and really I was showing off our pitiful "blizzard" as the weather forcasters were calling it. But these two... I like. I'm not gaga over them, but I like them. I'm not sure if anybody else will. Most of my attempts at abstract are received with more criticism than praise. But that's ok. I like the criticism (that means this one's open for it) and if I really reflect on them the critiques are right. But I think these might be different... maybe.
All it takes is a little frozen water, some trees and the sun:
Thanks for looking and thanks for all those brave enough to tell me what you really think!
A little Abstract
If you don't mind, I thought I'd post a few abstracts I took a while back on my hike through Lake Guntersvile State Park. I had intentions of posting them sooner but more enjoyable photos came along and work's been a little hectic the last few weeks. But I thought, why not. I love to give people a chance to tell me what they really think about my work. So here's you chance. Do your worst. Make my day.
Thanks for looking and have a GREAT weekend everyone!
Just some patriotic pictures...
I was in Maryland last week, visiting a friend. We had a lot of fun, and I took about 300 pictures. Here are eight patriotic pictures I took in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
*For 'inside of a canon', I stuck my lens in the canon mouth, turned up the f-stop, and switched it to manual focus because auto didn't want to work.

Some old film shots
Not really that old, but probably about a year ago I went out with a friend to go driving around to places we hadn't been to since we were little. I'm the only one with cameras, so I had brought along both my film and digital and we took turns switching between the two. Given that digital is more forgiving, we didn't use that much film (or she didn't) but I did have one roll of color I never got developed, got lost and recently showed back up. I took it with another roll I had shot with my diana and got them developed last week. There really wasn't anything spectacular but I had three-four shots of the rocks on the ground that intrigued me. I pulled the shots into lightroom played with contrast, saturation, curves, split-toning, vingetting and even a little b&w and this is what I got:
Let me know what you think. I love taking pictures of things out of context, like these rocks and especially leaves. Sometimes I don't think they're as successful as I'd like them to be, but I was pleasantly surprised with this set. Honest critiques are encouraged and asked for, so go nuts!
Passing the day away
I'm stuck in Murfreesboro today and seeing as I have no class and no pressing assignment to be edited/printed I'm in my apartment for a while and going to share some stuff with you guys starting with some shots from my weekend in Tuscaloosa. It's a lot prettier there than I imagined (having never been there I just figured it would be a lot like central south alabama, but it wasn't).
But today, just two Misty Water Abstracts from early in the morning.
Comments, critiques and suggestions are always welcomed.

Equinox
The entire winter I been practicing in my mind different angles from to many places I would love to Shoot in Houston. Photography is my entire life dream and you members of photographica motivate me to make this dream vivid.
The 20th of march, I decided to take some imperfect pictures to celebrate this change in my life,Celebrating the equinox with a Minolta Camera and a sigma lens and, for the great imperfection not using a tripod, learning about my camera settings on the way.During the day in my garden ( I will post them latter), and at night in the city lights of Houston__ While I Shoot my first one I was feeling my eyes and my fingers becoming part of my camera, and something happen inside meLevity Equinox The artificial lights Lighting were dancing with my camera, I can see the errors that I did, But for me, at this moment,did not matter.
The interaction that happens this day; with the place, the people and my camera was what it really matters to me.RA I know the positive and the negative critics may always happen here in the photographica family but, thats okey I already got my umbrellas. Umbrellas Thank you Photographica for been here and Now.

Return of Shades
I have been away for a while, I have been building a new studio on the back of the house and have spent the last 3 months building (learning to build). Today was my 75% almost done mark. I found some interesting shadows and items on the job site.
