No digital enhancements. Just a moment in the studio.

Critiques welcomed. Ideas embraced.

I loved this shot. It was part of a group fashion shoot (see album)

but I felt it was a great portrait. Critiques welcomed. Ideas embraced.

Galveston Island Strand - one of many closed businesses due to

Hurricane Ike. See album to view more of this series. Only

alteration is the turn to b & w.

I simply loved this piece (and another similar one I posted on the

critique forum) and managed to catch it on display, outdoors, right

after a storm cleared. This is not digitally enhanced (I took it in

front of the artist tent). As a beginner, I'm very proud of these 2

shots. I believe in getting it right straight out of the camera...and

this was my first true success at that.

Bayou City Arts Festival - managed to get this quick shot (and one

other posted for critique) as the rain stopped. No digital

enhancements. This was a lucky shot and I'm particularly proud of it

as one of my first favorites.

Galveston Island Cemetery - Post Ike

I took about 10 shots before I noticed the house in the background.

It was a hazy morning....the sea air was so thick! All my pictures

have a green hue that might need to be removed?? But the house is

green and the air just felt green, if that makes sense, so part of me

wants to keep them this way. The island feels so different after

being covered in water for weeks.....it just seems appropriate. Your

thoughts?

Galveston Island

When I look at this picture, I feel her staring back at me.

Critiques always welcomed. This photo with done straight out of the

camera with the exception of sharpening.
