A Self-Portrait...

Since this is where I spend a great deal of my time, I thought a self-portrait was in order. Any guesses on what this is?

Happy 4th of July!!!!!

Changing things up...

Once in awhile I find it useful to change things up a little. I have a new found respect for photographers that specialize in natural light and environmental portraiture. Unlike the type of work I prefer, outdoor and nature photography, with environmental portraiture the photographer has the option of moving the subject to a location where the light is better. If only I could move a mountain lake to a spot where the light was better.

A great quote...

“Learn to see, and then you'll know that there is no end to the new worlds of our vision.”

Carlos Castaneda

Just for fun...

I've always been fascinated by atmospheric and optical phenomenon. A while back I was on a hike and noticed this strange behavior in the contrails of a passing jet. If you look closely you can see the wavy lines of a contrail just before it evaporates. I would guess that this is caused by the wingtip vortices of the aircraft that created the contrail. If anyone has any other ideas, please drop me a line.
