A tribute to greatness
What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead. – Nelson Mandela
Weekly Photo Challenge: Unexpected
I went on the Scott Kelby Photowalk this past September and got some unexpected results by playing with my camera settings, looking for beauty in unusual places, and playing with various points of view. It was fun. Mill worker statue Accidental street art Bridge to nowhere Cracking up Cinderella? Wall texture Wall love Alternate doors…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Saturated
I don’t like oversaturated photos so I rarely increase saturation when I edit photos. The world is already saturated with color everywhere, all the time. http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/09/27/photo-challenge-saturated/
Weekly Photo Challenge: From Lines to Patterns

Weekly Photo Challenge: Focus

Sometimes autofocus is convenient and sometimes it’s ridiculous. Manual focus is a better choice to isolate your subject. Below is my third and last installment of our Franklin Zoo trip. The goats…
Franklin Zoo Part 2
I took so many photos at the zoo that I couldn’t post them all at once, so I decided to break it into 3 parts. It was a nice day, warm but not hot. The zoo was busy but not overcrowded. Perfect really. So here’s part 2: There were a lot of exhibits under renovation,…
