This juxtaposition reminded me of an old married couple. The old

woman in the background, still beautiful, but bent with age. The old

man still clinging to his last three strands of hair. . .

A rare raindrop in Arizona. I thought this image looked better in

black and white.

San Xavier del Bac was built in the 1690's by Father Eusebio Kino. I

was in Tucson recently for a conference and hoped to get a good image

of the mission. I was happy with this one although I wish the

scaffolding would not have been present.

This photo was taken after sunset. The clouds were reflecting a

beautiful reddish glow on the white mission. A 30 second exposure

captured the scene.

This photo is a panorama composed of 4 photos. I used Canon's

Photostitch.

I took this in our back yard of my son. I thought the yellow in the

grass matched his shirt and red hair.

This was taken at Lake Powell, Arizona last week. I was hoping for

more exciting weather conditions but the lake is still beautiful.

I took this one at Lake Powell of my little niece. The light was

perfect against the sandstone in the background for this type of

shot. I was pleased with it.

This was one of the first photos I took when I got the Canon 10D. I

really liked the shallow depth of field of the 50mm/f1.8 lens.

My son again. I like this black and white version a little better

than the color one.

Each year the Arizona Temple decorates the grounds with over 1/2 a

million lights for Christmas. I got this shot while there was a lull

in the crowd.

Last spring the wildflowers in Arizona popped up everywhere. Here is

my young boy in the midst of them.

Mark,

The sunlight was coming from a window and provided most of the light. I added a tiny bit of flash. Without the flash his lower face would have been too dark.

This is the black and white version of the photograph I posted

yesterday. I think I like this one better.

Everyone loves their child's face. This was taken in his room on an

afternoon with a touch of fill flash.

I scanned this a little dark but it seems to add to the mood. What

do you think?
