A Month for Flowers

2007-04-09T17:54:00.000-04:00

Seeing that I've taken a long hiatus from photoblogging, I feel it only right that I offer you flowers as a sincere form of apology!!! First set you find is: a tropical rain drenched yellow hibiscus found at Kapiolani Park, O'ahu, HI

Autumn Take 0004

2006-11-09T23:37:00.000-05:00

BOAT.
Though you can't really see "autumn" by this particular shot, it was taken the same day as my previous entries and on the opposite side of the lake. Saranac Lake.

Autumn Take 0003

Autumn Take 0001

2006-11-06T21:05:00.000-05:00

Theresa, New York State.

This year autumn came early, and with a burst of vibrant colors superior to last years weak appearance. It may surprise you then, that I would wish to show off my autumn collection with last years captures. Go easy on me: this year I was without wheels which greatly dampened my "snapping" capabilities. First clip is first in the season, with limited color changes, but very much worthy of a brag!

Photo Friday: Accidental

2006-10-27T22:34:00.000-04:00

I missed a previous weeks challenge: destruction, but I found this particular photograph also fits this weeks theme: ACCIDENTAL. Carelessly placed in a box full of papers during our kitchen painting project. During the "count off" of doors as we finished the project, we discovered two missing. After hunting high and low and no doors, we soon found these hiding beneath a whole stack of papers in the burn pile. They were accidentally put to a premature death!

Photo Friday: GIRL

Photo Friday: Circle

2006-08-27T18:37:00.000-04:00

2006-06-16T15:14:00.000-04:00

We crossed over this bridge a number of times yet could not figure "how" it was raised. On our last trip across, bars came down, lights came on, and UP went the bridge! *Ontario, Canada 2006

Back in Commission

2006-05-23T22:55:00.000-04:00

"Are you ready?" he asks. "Ready for what?" I asked in question. "Didn't you want to take your camera in for repair?" *gasps* "OH Yeah! Let me fix my hair and I'll be right out."
So began the adventure of getting an estimate for my camera. As we quickly discovered, it would cost just about $40 more to purchase a NEW camera than to repair. Guess what? I got the newer model that uses all my old lens, external flash and filters. WAY TO GO!!!
It's been awhile since I've had to actually LOAD film into a camera. With digital so convenient, it was like getting a new toy, yet warping backwards a few years! So, this will show you a photo taken with the "older" model camera.
This photograph is truly the beginning of my passion for photography and my choice to see things a little more different than the average person. This was an assignment for Photography class, and was actually put on a matte and displayed at the public library for a few weeks!
