Taking note of the good things
Posted in Photos, Photowalking on May 27th, 2010
Last night I had the opportunity to join the Provo Creative Meetup Group on an outing near my home. It seems I usually miss their events as they conflict with other commitments on my schedule, so I was happy when things opened up so I could attend.
This time everyone attending brought a "prop" of some [...]

Sorry for the play on words, but it had to be done! This last few weeks I have been enthralled by some of the bugs in our garden and brought out the macro lens to capture some close ups. What I have really been reminded of is that macro photos of live subjects are hard [...]

This particular photo featured above is one that was taken after a portrait themed event in the park. So why did I capture a leaf? This was taken after I had packed up my gear and was just about to load into the car and head home. I looked around one last time to take [...]

A View From Above
I’ve been in a very introspective, contemplative mood today. Not sure why, but I’m thinking deep thoughts today. Nothing much to share, but perhaps I’ll come to some personal epiphanies along the way

It’s been a little while since I broke out the macro lens and captured some flower macros. A number of different flowers are in bloom right now in my wife’s flower beds and at the neighbors.

Holding on to Life
We have been battling the dandelions hard in our lawn, but they are certainly a tenacious species. I took this photo of one such pesky bugger that has been sprayed but still hangs on.
The processing that evolved on this one was surprising to me. As I tweaked various settings I took the [...]

April Showers Bring May Flowers
Our April was a wild ride of alternating snow and sun, but the flowers are beginning to be in full bloom. This is definitely the season for tulips, and I am enjoying seeing them all over flickr! I’ve never really been a big flower guy in the past, but I am [...]

Abstract Kinda Day
Today is feeling like an abstract kinda day; so, I thought I’d just shoot whatever was sitting around that struck me and make it feel kinda abstract.
I made a comment game out of it on Flickr to see who could guess. About 10 comments in calanan won bragging rights with the first correct [...]
