"Staircase". I made fun of my friend's blog, which pictured several pictures of overpasses. I told him, "I'm not going to go around shooting overpasses." Well, I thought I would throw in a token "structure" shot. Taken from a moving car, so was not particulary carefully framed. Would be better I think if I cropped the bottom, but don't feel like it. Untouched.
"Akita." Several years ago I thought I wanted an Akita. Then I became concerned about their dog-on-dog aggressiveness. I went to a shelter and saw a disproportionate number of Akitas there. Another red flag. I wonder what happened to them. They are noble creatures, certainly. The fence reflects on my ambivalent feelings.

Same place, different picture. This one post-processed in Photoshop. Cropped, some color adjustments. Again, for me, these changes led to a more evocative picture. I'm a real beginner with photography in general, but post-processing is something completely foreign to me. So you are seeing my first few experiments.

"Over there". Shot at a work party in low-light conditions with the 50mm 1.4. Kind of an accidental shot that worked for me (worked better than the others, that is). Perhaps you have noticed that this person greatly resembles a photo of a pregnant woman in front of a window....There was a funny artifact/reflection on one of her teeth that I cloned out. Additionally this picture is cropped.

Don't forget the archives.....
If you like the photos here, or if you are a long-suffering friend or relative who has been browbeaten into submission and forced here, don't forget to go to the archives for a few extra pictures.

New camera....
I received my Canon 20D camera today. My first SLR. I'm looking forward to posting some photos in the very near future...
