Rainy Night at the Starry Night
Rainy Night at the Starry Night And, next week are finals at Colorado State University.

Basking in the Sun
Basking in the sun A couple days ago I came upon this young lady sitting outside one of the classrooms on campus, basking in the warm sun. We have had blue skies and warm sunshine but cold nights, temperatures dropping below 20 at night. However, this weekend is predicted to be much warmer. Looking forward to it. Enjoy your weekend.

Working the Crossword Puzzle
Jill working on the crossword puzzle If you have something to say about life, you must also find a way of saying it clearly. And if you achieve that clarity of both perception and the ability to record it, you will have created your own composition, your own kind of design, personal to you, related to other people’s, yet your own. The point I want to make is that there is no such thing as THE way; there is only for each individual, his or her way, which in the last analysis, each one must find for himself in photography and in living. ~Paul Strand

Checking Email
Checking Email A favorite coffeehouse is called Mug’s. They have two locations, one in Old Town and one just across the street from the the Oval on the campus of Colorado State University. I’m closer to the one near campus. They make these really awesome breakfast burritos, sandwiches and pastries. Because the food and coffee is good and the kids working there are awesome, you can easily drop $8 in the blink of an eye. And feel good about it. It’s a gathering place for students finishing homework assignments with a latte and bagel before heading off to class. Students gather for study sessions and faculty have meetings.
In this image I was taken by the window light and his intensity. I processed it with Silver Efex Pro using one of their presets then a couple tweaks in Lightroom.

A Window Smile
Smiling at the world As I walked out of a local coffee house I noticed this little one standing at the window checking out the world as it went by. I loved the smile and exchanged waves. I then had to compose and shoot two images. After taking the photo I notice her mother inside the store, vacuuming. I motioned to the mother who opened the door so I could ask if it was okay. Our world needs more smiles.
