Good morning!

I LOVE Springtime!

Civilized Society

are the pavement under our feet.
They are what we call civilization."

Jenisis Designs part 2

It was suggested by some of my peers at school that maybe the photo lacked definition with the nose & mouth missing from the first photos that I posted. This is a slightly different angle. Which do you prefer?

Jenisis Designs

I'm designing a website for my friend, Jennifer of Jenisis Designs. Here's a photo I took of some abalone shell earrings she gave me back in the day.

My good friend, Honey, suggested that the earrings stand out more in the second photo and I agree. I do like the colors in the first shot and thought I'd share them with you all.

What do you think?

The Mad Ones

“The only people for me are the mad ones,
the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved,
desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say an uncommon-place thing,
but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow roman candles…”
~Jack Kerouac

More from the Pier

These are the last from the Pier. At least for a while.

Sunset at the Pier

Peek

Ab peeking under the door.



This is blog entry #100!!! Pretend that hundreds of balloons are falling from the sky and you're blinking confetti off of your eyelashes!

Our Pier

I've made some lovely friends here who also enjoy photography and some who do it for a living. We had a great time shooting the pier last week and I can't wait to see the shots they captured. These are just a few of mine and I'll be posting more soon.

Under the Table and Dreaming

Ab likes to hang-out under the table sometimes, like it's a fort. I wonder what she is thinking about.

Springtime Lament

Noooo!!! It's spring time! I'm supposed to wake up to raindrops falling gently on new green grass and budding trees and daffodils peeking out of the freshly thawed soil. Not SNOW! Nooooo, God, why?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!

Memories of Yesterday

I walked outside on a morning last week and my attention was immediately drawn to this glowing leaf stuck in the shrubbery.

Red Door

Envy

Though shalt not covet thy neighbors camera.



This was taken from far away. We were shooting the same sunset and I was feeling envious.

Swan Lake

Well... it's more of a pond really.





These aren't nearly as clear as I'd hoped, but I like them nontheless.

Holga, In Color

This is the color version of the Holga tree. I love this picture and think it might end up on some friends' walls. At least I hope they love it enough to display it.

Sukham Photography- My Final Project

I am currently attending college pursuing a degree in Web Development and for our final project in my HTML class, we had to design a multi-page business site. I chose to invent a photography business and this is it:

My skill level hasn't yet caught up with my vision, but it is getting there... slowly but surely.

Missing Someone

These glass objects decorate the windows of a dear friends home. I miss her.

Doodle Doo

We are in the process of looking to purchase a home. This cool metal rooster was in the kitchen of one of the homes we looked at. It reminded me of my beloved Grandmother who passed away 9 years ago this month. She collected chickens & roosters and kept her collection in the kitchen.

Finding Time to Reflect

I was running late, as usual, this morning, but when I glanced out the window at the pond, I had to stop. I thought the trees' reflection was too pretty to pass up, so I snapped a quick picture on my way out the door. The bottom picture is closest to what my eye saw. The sun wasn't quite up yet. For the first picture, I flipped the photo and used an auto-correct.
