Stepping Out

I could have killed this guy when he stepped into my photo. But now I would give pretty much anything to have his foot in focus. This is why I try not to delete images on the back of my camera, because I'm so focused on the shot I'm envisioning that I can't see it when a better shot happens.

Anyway, please imagine this shot with the foot in focus, and the background less so. I kind of like it. What do you think?

Technicolor Tuesday

Well, after Monochrome Monday, I felt we needed a bit of color around here. And I feel that this unbloomed poppy (poppy bud?) does the trick. How cool is all that fuzz?

Radio Silence, and Monochrome Monday

I took the weekend off from blogging, instead I frolicked at the beach and in the park, drank some red wine and cleaned my house. It was necessary, and it felt good. But I'm back.

And as sure as I am that I am not the first to coin Monochrome Monday, I've been wanting to incorporate some black and white into my workflow. If you are similarly inclined, Craft And Vision has a new ebook out for $5 that's all about black and white photography. So from here on out, some Mondays may be black and white. I'm making no promises, I may forget by next week, we'll see how it goes.

And what better way to kick it off than with some blossoms? (If you're interested in seeing the color version, it's here.)

Mid-Air

Another shot from my recent ski trip. I must have waited at least 10 minutes for this guy to get up the courage to go down the hill. But it was worth it for this shot!

Pink, Pinker . . .

Another from yesterday's tree. I just thought the light on these was so pretty. I think this is cherry, anyone know for sure?

How Can I Resist?

I walk by them and they call my name.
