Sinking cat
No, the cat really is sinking, in a manner of speaking. She loves it in the sink. I noticed the odd thing that the new bathroom fixtures and such matched her almost perfectly. Now I know where my wife got the inspiration for her choices! I like the low angle shot, the eyes are so expressive.

Your photos are your life.
You may notice that I have not posted a photo here. In this electronic age, most of us have turned to digital photography, a modern marvel indeed. I have learned a hard lesson and that is - back up your photos! Our computer recently had a hard drive go bad. The only thing we lost was every photo I...

What dreams may be...
Planning a project is always fraught with uncertainty. What will it really look like? The drawing isn't in color. What if we have the proportions wrong? All these things ran through our minds a few weeks ago as we sat at the kitchen counter until midnight sketching a design for the tiles of our new...

Save changes
When doing a re-model project, before, during and after photos not only preserve what was, they can also serve as a road map to what is. It is also fun to see what has taken place. The first shot is our old shower, with the toilet on the left. That is all gone now, and the next shot shows the room...

More reflections...snoitcelfer eroM
Reflections offer many possibilities including colors, shapes and varying detail. Pefectly clear reflections make you wonder if the picture is upside down, possibly. Usually one gets photos like this with the fan shape of the trees repeated and the colors splashed on the canvas of the water.

Cats when they're cute
When cats aren't shredding the furniture or dragging in mangled mice, they can be cute. These two are usually chasing each other around threatening to knock everything we own over. But one morning I caught them on the bed in a cute pose. The first one is from a higher angle and the second is a...

Reflections
Bodies of water offer interesting opportunities to catch various reflections. Here, a dock appears to have a water color treatment in the reflections off the end of the dock. In a larger frame, the water presents a dimpled mirror for an abstract reflection.

Capturing a mood
Sometimes a direct photo of an event, such as the race my son and I went to over the weekend tells a story. This shot of his 1/10 th gas truck on the track captures the action as the truck enters a turn. But not every second of the race weekend is spent on the track, in fact during Saturday’s...

Pets can live forever...
I burn about as much "film" on our cats as everything else. Face it, they are cute and after they are gone, you still have memories, not only of what they looked like, but if you are lucky, a glimpse of their personalities. Our Calico liked to sit in the barstool and watch me make my sandwich in the...
