On Saturday morning, my wife usually goes to the Farmer's Market that we have here in downtown Lafayette.  Sometimes I go along, not to actully buy stuff, but to take a few photos.

After our market visit we walked around town to appreciate the  beautiful fall day,     ... but that might be another post for another day.

I visited our local Farmer's Market this weekend. It is a great place for some Macro photography.  Some of the displays the farmers come up with are very artistic. Squash Display Onions in a Basket

There are an amazing range of colors and textures also. Peaches in a Basket Berry Basket Red and White Potatoes

So, if you desire a interesting and productive photo session,I would recommend a trip to your local Farmers' Market. More Berries It will provide ample opportunity to hone your Macro photography skills and techniques.Onions in B&W

Comments and suggestions welcome.

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.

Hi...I'm back.  It's been three months since I last posted.  If you like me and my work, Sorry about the long time.  If you don't like me, your welcome about the long time.
Anyways, a couple weeks ago, I went to Trax Farms Market, an old store that has grown incredibly from a roadside store to comercial heaven in the past decade.  Anyways, they sell good apples for good prices, along with many other fruits and vegetables.  They also have hundreds of thousands of home-grown pumpkins that you can choose from, which the kids like to climb over.
Also, I want to know what people think about the picture entitled "Pumpkins" because I personally thought that it was pretty good.  However, if you don't, please say so.

Good afternon everyone ... new to the site and not sure how it works so I'll give you this and see how it goes over.

I was visiting Seattle not long ago and came accross this view through my finder.  Let me know what you think about it.  

Take care and happy clicking,

A couple of friends and I went peach picking yesterday at Eastmont Orchards, Colts Neck, NJ. http://www.eastmontorchards.com/history.html

Thisguy was there to greet us and to remind us to slow down.

At the beginning of the orchard were

fields of sunflowers.
I only picked 8 peaches. I plan on making a peach cake tonight!

I had to take control of my addiction here (Photographica)and place my daughters wedding as priority. It was soooo hard to do but now I am able to post and discuss and comment again! Phew! Back to real life! No one even asked where I was, boohoo.
Well I dug these up just to reignite! No wedding photos, left that to a Pro. Phew, you say! I still have to get on the ball for the current theme.
