Thirsty?

Thirsty? When I first got my Nikon DSL camera, I did some experimenting of close-ups of a lemon slice. I really liked how it turned out so I decided to revisit the subject. This time, I sliced a lime and used a variety of backgrounds. Photography is such a wonderful part of my life and I have incorporated some of my photos in a tour on my website. I hope you might take a moment to visit and as always, your comments are very much appreciated.

Sunrise in Moab

Earlier this year I attended the Moab Photo Symposeum for the first time. We arrived early so that we could get up and photograph the sunrise. This was my first trip to Moab and I was overwhelmed by the beauty of my surroundings. This arch has been photographed thousands and thousands of times, yet capturing it in my own camera made in one of a kind...my very own original. I hope you enjoy these images. They are "unprocessed" for those of you that are into photography.

November in Denver, CO is living up to it's reputation

November in Denver, CO is living up to it's reputation - that is - November is the 2nd snowist month of the year, with March being the first. The Denver Post had an article in today's paper indicating we should prepare for a snowy November. And of course, today is November 1st and we have snow in the forecast. According to the news, those of us that live in the Denver Metro area should expect 5-9 inches of snow beginning tonight with clearing on Wednesday afternoon.

Happy snow everyone!

When life gives you lemons.....

When life gives you lemons.....be creative! Sure you can make lemonade or you can come up with even more ideas! I decided to try to duplicate a photo that I had seen in a book....with just a slice of lemon, a flower vase, club soda, salt and a clothespin, I came up with what I think is a pretty cool shot....quite refreshing if I do say so myself. For more refreshing photos, check out my photo tour.

And here is how I photographed it:
