Last Winter 2

Last Winter

Last winter jan-mar 2010, (some of my favorites, newton's rings be damned.

Little Late (year in review)

I wanted to take this time to say thank you to all those who supported my photographic efforts this year, from people who featured my work on DeviantART.com, to Derek (the photo guru), Stephanie (who puts up with my tech-speak and smelly chemicals in the bathroom and kitchen), and those of you who've commented, critiqued and watched my work. I will begin a series of year-in-review pieces of the best of the best.

Challenge

Derek,

Here is your Challenge.

Frozen/Thawing

Nearly dead

yet startled

into attempting

and then

truly

emerging

This photo represents many triumphs for me. Now, I have a place to shoot again, until the spring. It is always changing. Sometimes the Lake is blue, sometimes Aqua, sometimes it is steel-grey.  It is in constant change, and affords many opportunities to feel.  Can't wait to get back. 

Cleveland Skyline (obscured)

Sometimes

even the greatest of things

are obscured

by simple clouds

New Aquisitions

All I wanted for christmas was cameras, and boy, did I get them. During my trip to Hannibal, Missouri, I picked up a Brownie twin 20 and shot a roll of Plus-x through it. Its another 620 camera that was easily modified to take a 120 spool. It also has a real old-fasioned flash bulb attachment that is so powerful, it will blind anything in the immediate area.  My sister was kind enough to give me a new/used Nikon as well, a f-301/N2000 that is now the Corvette of my collection. It does everything and even has a flash. There's a group of cameras that are waiting in the wings to be purchased, and I just received some unlooked-for christmas cash, Soooo, I'll be picking up those cameras momentarily. Hooray for cameras!  Especially ones that work!
