This duckweed was taken at Chicot State park at around noon. It was hot with no wind out but the photo demanded to be taken…

So here we go, round 3 with WordPress. I keep coming back to WordPress again and again. They must be doing something right. This image was taken at Chicot State park in Central Louisiana near Bunkie. A lot of photoshop work later this was the end result and I have to say I really like the dark moodiness of it.

At a recent event I had the opportunity to photograph a young christian band.  This is one of the images from that event.  Others will follow over time.   What made the series interesting is that the images were all blurry.  However when I came back to the collection some time later and got creative with the Photo Shop filters I came up with the settings you see now.   All in all I’m quite pleased with the end results.   One failed photo session brought back to life.

In early December 2007 I was to be found walking a small loop trail over at Raymond B. Diaz State Park in Eastern Texas. Much to my surprise I found a pair of water Moccasins. One was Male and one was female. This one decided to pose for me while the other (larger) one was running away.. I used the 300mm lens and had some distance between me and the critter before I started shooting.

“To The Steadfast And Loyal Infantrymen Of The Famous Fourth”

Taken while working at Fort Lewis, Washington.  The landscapes out there are awesome and I have to go back someday during the summer.

A flower that was photographed at the Texas ren fest. I wish I could identify it and grow some at my place. But I as of yet have not figured this one out.

The picture doesn’t really need any explanation.

The thing about photography for me is always the image that I wasn’t expecting to come out of my camera.  I’m still at the stage in which most of the shots I expect will come out and at the same time I’m hoping they will come out.  The skills are getting better….. but a lot of it is still luck and location.
