Sasha's first time in a park. Lots of room to run and romp.

Today was the first time Sasha has been to a park. I think he enjoyed

himself.

Great idea for a series. American's need to take afternoon naps.

Nice colors. I like you blew out the greens and crushed the black to bring out the red of the Foxglove Digitalis.

Love it. Very original. It almost like he is holding up the diver.

Nice Tulips. I like the way you kept the highlight from being blown out. Did you use a reflector to light the bottoms of the flowers?

I don't know what the subject is. It's just too abstract.

I don't think the grass in the forground adds to the image. A little bit of fill flash on the tree would have been nice too.

Great sky. I would like to see at least one of the cattle looking at the photographer.

Fred Miranda's Digital Infared action is pretty neat.

A shelter against the sun, wind, and Pirates. The interesting things

one can find on the beach.

Abandoned homestead in black and white.

The water was such a beautiful blue. Too bad it's hot enough to take

your skin off and the steam has enough sulfer to burn your eyes and lungs.

I came across this homestead just into Idaho. I can't think why

anyone would have abandoned a house with such a view.

100+ degrees, black lava, no shade, zero humidity, and a 15 mph wind,

what the hell was I thinking!

Good eye Tom. You have taste in cameras and side arms.

Connie, Great image but it is a bit soft and muted. I applied a little carefull sharpening to your image and boosted the color. I used Fred Miranda's Intellisharpen and Velvia Vision.

Very cute. The big green bush dosn't add to the image. It would be nice if the pups were looking at you. A well timed wistle or squeek can get there attention sometimes. Sometimes nothing can get there attention.

I bought this pen for my father for Christmass in 1985. He loved fine

pens and I spent half a month's pay to buy it. It sat on his desk, in

it's case, near his check book. He used it to sign important papers

and fill out the ledgers for his business. I hope he knew how much it

meant to me to see that pen on his desk, always ready to put his

signature to paper.

Firing a handgun is a destructive and violent act but there is beauty

in the cool blued steel and the warm brass cartridges. Camera's and

guns seem like opposites to me. One is destructive the other creative

but both are tools of the eye and mind. I am drawn to both.

What is it about a Leica camera that makes them so special? When I

pick up my Leica these are the places my fingers go. I am trying to

capture visually the tactile experience I get from the fine

craftsmanship of this camera.
