That's what photographers do, right? At a most basic level, in hopes of pointing out things. Sure, there are all the technical skills that make your image better, or coherent. Plus a basic understanding of composition, somewhat steady hand, the literal ability to focus -- if you aren't doing avant garde shapes on purpose. But... Continue Reading →
I've been taking school pictures this season and had the opportunity to include this adorable mascot the other day. Artie even got a badge made, though I imagine he'd chew it up given the chance.

Another portrait. Word is getting around! Again taken with my Samsung Note 8, this time edited a little with Snapseed. He was on the window for a good half an hour so we thought perhaps he was dead, but as soon as I came in for an extreme close-up he took off. And yes,... Continue Reading →

The other day I was looking through my extensive digital photo collection and came across a picture I wanted to share, yes, of the best burger ever. Now I'm... Continue Reading →
FLASHBACK: PREVIOUSLY UNPUBLISHED PICTURES!

The ORIGINAL POST about my Trial Trail Mixing It Up is HERE.... Continue Reading →
I don't drink coffee, but the women in my family do. This is what it feels like as an outsider. I made this on my phone a while ago, possibly using the built-in Android camera, but I don't recall, and I just wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how to make the... Continue Reading →
