I have been looking at photographica for a long time.
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.

midnight abstracted

The attached abstract image I found on a digital camera at the school where I worked last year.  I kept the image, because it is so striking.  I have no idea who took it or what it was supposed to be a picture of, if anything. It has not been photoshoped or altered in any way. Has anyone else found interesting images or taken interesting accidental shots?

Abstract Found Photo

i keep this as my desktop background. i'm not sure why, it just fascinates me. it is actually the sun shot through a very old amber colored clorox bottle that was sitting in carpet grass.sundancers

I 've done a lot of Photoshop stuff ..but to me this is the one that is way out there..Kinda..No, very dark...It show the rise of the Anti-Christ...notice the pierced like hand, showing the false apperance to be Christ..but the more he comes to power, the more he shows his true devilish looks.....Anti-Christ

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.

I was getting ready one morning and spotted a great opportunity of an abstract shot! Then I took the best part of it and cleaned it up and got the second abstract.

Who can tell me what it is?

These abstract colors are nice ...I don't really know how I got it.  I took a picture of my wall, and this is what it turned up as.

This is the sunset at Schenly Park that I took about 6 months ago.  I like it a lot. Schenly Park is where the Senior Olympics took place just a few weeks ago.

o.k. my times up.

Yesterday while shooting in my backyard, i came accross this white flower and it looked photogenic, so I photographed it.

this picture is for the "Abstract" contest. I think they are both great.

For those of you who wanted to know, I use an HP 733 digital camera with 3.2 megapixels.

Also, how do you get a picture next to your comments? I can't seem to figure it out.

enjoy the excellent pictures.
