Rainy Evening

Endless Green

I just love the color green! I think I must sound like a broken record, but it's one of my favorite shades around. I just loved finding this hillside covered in delicate shades of green when I was visiting Brisbane the other week.

I think there should be something like a daily amount of green we're all supposed to get. A shortage of green in your life can cause stress, the doldrums, and a feeling of being stifled. So go out and get your dose! But until you can, here's a picture to tide you over.

Meadow Flowers

I was looking through old photos today to put together a gallery of images for my new website (coming soon! I hope) and I often thought, "Wow! That's a really great photo! Why am I not taking more great photos like that today?" Which I thought was kind of weird. I mean, shouldn't I be looking back and thinking, "Whew! Glad I'm better than that now!" And don't get me wrong, I did think that a lot. And in certain areas, such as architectural photography and definitely portrait and wedding photography, I've grown a ton.

But it's also nice to look back and think that I didn't suck. What about you? When you look back at previous work, is it with a wince or with a smile? Or some of both?

In Contrast

We measure our lives in contrast, in the differences between things. Between moments, cheerful and mopey. The feeling in our bellies, hungry and full. The temperature of our extremities, roasting or freezing. Our hearts, generous or cautious. So often our contrasts make our life worth living, worth waking up again the next day to see what will be different.And though we might think we want life to be uniform and predictable, I think that's the last thing anyone really wants.

And of course, contrast makes photographs what they are. Thank goodness for it!

Small and Furry and Cute

Ok, I've been holding out on you, I admit it. I had all the super cute photos just sitting on my hard drive, collecting dust. Or whatever the pixel equivalent of dust is.

But here you go! All the cuteness you can handle in one sitting, assembled just for your viewing pleasure.

Cats and rabbits and guinea pigs, oh my!
