“Dedication…”

admin — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:47:23 +0000

I am a former teacher and, due to Facebook and other avenues of networking, several students from many years past have contacted me recently. I have been overwhelmed with their comments and memories of our experiences together. The teaching profession is not one for immediate gratification. Teachers give of themselves entirely in the hopes of inspiring just one student to achieve potential. Most teachers complete their tenure never really knowing the impact of lives touched. So, I offer this image as dedication to all teachers and to my students who have recently renewed contact. Thank you so much. I am so proud of all of you and I celebrate all of you with a new day of beauty. My wish is true health and happiness and I send you my special love.

“Fire in the Sky”

Sometimes I am more than amazed with the colors of the sunrise here in Lyons, CO. I start my days by saying: Wow! - Oh My Gosh! - I can’t believe this! Then, I run for my camera.

“Sidra, Lady of the Midnight Sun #3″

I enjoy the choreography of Nikki’s running. She reminds me of a wolf in the wild. However, my Nikki always has a smile on her face when she runs. The joy of her freedom is quite evident.

Well, Nikki is extremely athletic. However, sometimes she misses her jump. Here is a “belly-flop” that was quite enjoyable.

Sidra, Lady of the Midnight Sun is the official name of my beloved Nikki. Here is a playful series of photographs for your enjoyment. Obviously, she really loves the snow. This is nature photography displaying the true nature of Siberian Huskies.

“Abstract Art”

Here is an example of abstract art created by nature. The world of winter nature photography can provide unique images. I support you to continue your “art of seeing” in all seasons.

“Winter Photography #3″

Here are two additional reminders when photographing rivers and streams. Try viewing the image in a verticle position while holding your camera . Also, look for “S Curves” as the river is flowing for interesting and creative composition. Hope these are helpful.

“Winter Photography #2

Reflections in water can also make stunning photographs. Again, sometimes we forget to look for these compositions during winter. I hope that you are inspired to look with “new eyes” during the winter and see as creatively as you do during the summer.

“Winter Photography #1″

Winter subject matter can be both interesting and creative. Consider snow and ice as patterns and abstract formations. Remember to take your camera on winter walks and hikes. Try to keep your camera warm so as not to drain the batteries.

“Best Friends - Running Free”

admin — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 20:34:11 +0000

Here we have best friends running and playing in the dog park together. I think that this photograph is a good example of great composition. Capturing Nikki’s one eye as she is running behind Sammy leaves the viewer with creative interpretations for the moment. I think this is very unique and a great intuitive moment. Having Nikki in the image also creates color, contrast and dimension to the photograph.
