An early 20th century grocery counter before tall shelves stacked with dry-goods. A woman grocer turns to pluck an item off the shelves. Attached to the shelves in three places are binder clips supporting small notes; each note is emblazoned with a dark red guillotine blade. To the left of the image stands a shouting millionaire with a top hat and a money-bag.

Please view on black. This bobber was floating solo near the shore—apparently snagged and abandoned by its previous owner.

Lessons learned from this photo ... No. 1. Manual focus beats auto focus to pieces (at least on cheap lenses). No. 2. Tripods are necessary at 300mm (so don't forget and leave them at home). No. 3. The image in your head does not always appear on your card (deal with it).

My best friend, a professional photographer, told me to "stop focusing on the technical things and start focusing on the concepts and the life" of photography. I am trying to figure out what this means. All I know is photography makes me happy. There is no better way for me to relax after a long week than to pick up my camera and head outdoors. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

This was taken at Wright Patman Lake in Northeast Texas.

I like to spend the hour before sunset sitting alone on this pier. It's my happy place.

I think is a little out of focus, but the tree kept moving!! but if you look close the white is turning yellow!

Whenever I go to Texarkana to visit my parents, I like to go out to Lake Wright Patman for a little bit. It’s less than ten minutes from my parents’ place, and it’s nice and serene, versus the obnoxious bustling of Texarkana’s strip malls. I was hoping to get some of my mom’s face in this shot too, but ah well.

View on Grey. Taken around the same time as this one. I came across this and thought it warranted its own post, so…

I’m a lover of trees, so when I saw the one to the left, I just had to photograph it. I waited till just about sunset, positioned my tripod so that the sun was behind the tree, and shot. I would’ve waited till sunset, but the temperature was dropping quite rapidly.

This is my first HDR photo. I’m typically not a fan of HDR, not because it’s inherently bad, but because the resultant photos often look unrealistic to me. In this situation, I didn’t really have a choice

This photo was taken in the mid-afternoon sun. Because of how bright it was, I couldn’t get any detail in the foreground without completely blowing out the sky. I ended up taking six exposures, using four of them to get the resultant image. It looks pretty realistic to me, so in that sense, I consider it a success. Hope you all like it.

Melissa vs. King Fish

Is Mel tiny, or is the damn dam just really big?

Spray painted a few months after I was born, apparently?

More dam fun

Melissa digs it.
