For a photographer this is a magic moment… about 45 minutes before sunrise, light is already starting to push back the dark. I open my camera and let nature paint me a picture.

Simplify
The Chair “The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.”
Hans HofmannI begin another trip tomorrow morning then when I get back I intend to visit my parents for a few days in Phoenix. I talked to dad and he said it will probably start cooling off about the time I get there with highs around 106 degrees. While out here yesterday felt and looked like fall with a high of only 80 degrees then some good old thunderstorms and hail on the afternoon. Good grief, what am I thinking? Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Who takes the photo?
Young Sunflower “I’ve got a camera that works. I actually have several cameras that work, and even the oldest ones are still better at taking photos than I am.”
Tom DillsThis quote is from a post by a photographer in Charlotte, NC, named Tom DIlls. And he is right. Paul Lester had a post about meeting up with Tom to talk about photography and do a bit of shooting. So, I checked out his webpage and his blog. Awesome stuff over there! I suggest checking out his work. And, if he hangs around Paul, you know he’s cool. 🙂

Abstract
Abstract It’s been one of those days when laundry is done, the bathroom still needs cleaned, and I don’t feel like doing or going anywhere. However, there is a twitch with my forefinger on my right hand, most likely from not getting enough exercise with a shutter button. So, I ask myself what is there around me that I see all the time but really never see and needs to have a photograph made of it? I glance over towards the bathroom and have an idea. Thirty minutes later and I have come up with an abstract image of something we see and use all the time. Crap, how do we miss seeing so much of what is around us?
