So this week I’ve been battling a cold, the weather has continued to be snarfy, I have midterm projects due in two weeks and I am a tad over committed on the volunteer front. Bottom line is now new photography which is putting me in a bad news. This typewriter was runner up for last… Continue reading Typewriter

Sunflower Abstract
We are working on compositing techniques in Photoshop class this week and I was playing around with pairing this sunflower with an old rusty tractor. I thought it was way cool that the tractor engine came up to replace the center of the flower. Makes a nice commentary on nature and technology. So, how did… Continue reading Sunflower Abstract
Tulip
I stopped by Walmart to pick up a few things a few days before Valentine’s Day and this potted Tulip in the entry area caught my eye. As I had no plans for a field excursion this week I thought I might as well take it home to pose for me. I wasn’t that excited… Continue reading Tulip
Calla Lily
This week’s photography field trip took me back to the botanic gardens in Albuquerque. Though the only things in bloom were inside the greenhouse there were plenty of winter textures and patterns to photograph and I had my usual fun time with the koi in the Japanese Gardens. But the best of a good day… Continue reading Calla Lily
Roswell KFC
For two years I have been kicking myself because I didn’t take a picture of this the first time I saw it. So when I headed for Roswell last weekend this was on my to do list. Unfortunately in order to get the shot without cars I had to do it early in the morning… Continue reading Roswell KFC
Faucet

I started at Bitter Lake NWR but the geese and cranes were not in residence, just a blackbird convention. I could have played… Continue reading Faucet
Still Life with Seashell
No, I did not run away to a tropical beach through heaven knows it was tempting during what I sincerely hope was the coldest week of the year here in Santa Fe. Instead I visited Hobby Lobby for the first time in my life. After all, I have a hobby and said commercial enterprise does… Continue reading Still Life with Seashell
Fun with Nik Software
It’s that time of year when shooting macro generally means turning my kitchen into a photo studio. I also just got the full package of Nik software so have been experimenting with different effects. First the capture, for this image I used a technique I’m really starting to like. I shot this tulip using a… Continue reading Fun with Nik Software
Best of 2012
I traditionally like to start each year’s photo blog with my favorite image from the previous year ( I don’t know do two years in a row make for a tradition?) Anyway, this year it is mostly about getting this new site up and running and since I don’t have any new photos for… Continue reading Best of 2012
