A door into the Washington Cathedral. Any comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

Thank you Linda. That is a true compliment from someone with such wonderful work!

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I agree that the shadow is a little much. All of these shots are candid so I didn't have a reflector. Hopefully, one of these days I will be able to set a shot like this up and have all of the essentials to make it better. Thanks again!!!!

Thanks for looking

Thaks for looking. I appreciate any thoughts on howto improve my work. This is still pretty

new to me.

My son on our recent vacationto South Padre Island. Thank you for your thoughts and

critiques.

Little Kate at her first birthday party. Comments appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Love it!

This is a Mariachi band at a wedding in Mexico. I did not use a flash and the sun was setting

fast. It is the only shot I got of them before it was too dark. Critiques welcome.

I am trying my hand at photographing animals.... any critiques??

Grandmother watching her newest grandaughter minutes after her birth.

Same as the one posted in BW last week. Thanks for looking.

Thank you so much for the great compliments. If you knew the whole time I was taking the shot on my kitchen table with my 2 year old son trying to "clean" my tripod, it wouldn't be quite as impressive. I will post the color photo on Sunday. Thanks again!!!

I also have this in color which I will post later. I think the BW is much more dramatic. Thanks

for looking.

This is a little girl at a wedding I attended in Mexico. I wish I hadn't cut off her feet. Thanks

for any thoughts.

What a spur of the moment shot of my son and his best friend. Thought i would share such a

great moment. Thanks for looking.

Thanks for looking.

This was done with my Canon digital Powershot camera. No lens. I just zoomed in using the digital zoom to 3.3 I think. I took it in color then just converted it to gray scale.

Thank you for your comments. He is fine and his new lip looks beautiful. But part of me misses the way his was before. It was a rough time, those couple of days of surgery. Regarding, the crop, I hate it too but not enough to put the picture away.

This another picture of my son the night before his cleft lip

surgery. I wanted to capture his sweet face before the doctor fixed

his lip. Again, I am an amateur and this was taken on my bed with a

white sheet as a back drop. No flash, with a Nikon N65 on 400 speed

color film. Then I had the lab print in B&W and scanned onto my

computer with an HP 6210 office jet. I did not enhance or make any

changes when I scanned it.

I took this of my 6 month old son with my Canon digital camera, no

flash. I just used the light from a north facing window. It took

SEVERAL shots to get him still enough. I am definately an amateur,

having fun and learning the ropes as I go.
