I'm bored with being literal!

It's time to think outside of the box and not worry to much about the technical. I'm focusing on emotions. Would you like to talk about your feelings with me?

It's Pay Day!

Which is good because otherwise I might have been cranky today.

These were shot in a hideous cafeteria, but when the photo gods shut a door... they open a window... or in this case a skylight. I spot metered for those little patches of light to black out an impossible ugly background and try something new.

I need a hobby...

So how would you feel I became a Santa Fe Disco Brawler?

Clinton on Sunday, Natalie Portman today...

...but I'm not a paparazzi photographer and Natalie Portman wasn't an assignment so I'm sorry there are no pictures (that you know of) of the starlet.

... This was shot for the neighbors section.

The rustling of feathers and the pitter-pat of tiny feet.

It's Sunday and I had no assignments. It snowed again last night so I went out to find another winter weather feature, but that's not exactly what I ended up shooting. I have to tell you that when you stumble upon little moments like this, it makes working on Super Bowl Sunday all worth-while!
