Those photos are so amazing!!! I like Wedge on the ledge, he looked pretty comfy. The Flowers in Seattle are also spectacular. I am always so struck when I notice how different and beautiful the world outside my own environment is. In the photos life and space and everything seem so wide, open, and quiet, some from a bygone era. As one who grew up in New Jersey, Colleged in Massachusetts, and decided to stay in Boston as an adult, the differences are so stark to my own experience of the world. Don't get me wrong, there is great beauty here in the Northeast, in cityscapes, beaches, the lakes, the trails, and way lots of snow. And there are masses of people, students, tourists, sports fans, subways, trains, busses, and planes. I sometimes think of what life is like in less populated areas, it sure looks stunning and awesome in those photos. So cool. Have you visited the East Coast? My Godmother lives in Healdsberg, California. It is also wide, open, and life is much slower (even just outside San Fran). I wonder with your creative and artistic eye, what you'd find interesting about our fast-paced, and I dare say claustrophobic cities out here. I enjoy going to Boston's public Garden. You can go through and for a short time forget you are in the midst of a big city with so many people bustling around. Anyway, spectacular views. Are you a professional or do you just take photos as a hobby? |

As far as the East Coast goes, I suppose it would be dependent upon what you consider the East Coast . My mom grew up in South Boston and we visited some cousins in Dorchester in 1991. My mom has some pictures that her mom took of her in the Boston Public Gardens. It was spring, so LOTS of tulips and such. If you consider Florida to be East Coast, then last time I was out there was 1995. Course that was all long before I had a digital camera. Photography serves a dual purpose for me. The first is having patience and from that I tend to derive a sense of tranquility. This especially the case when I'm shooting dragonflies. If you come up on them slowly, you can get relatively close to them (about 5 to 8 feet away). The camera that I used with them was a cross between a DSLR and a point and shoot. It had a green point light that would light up at the dragonflies just before the shot and that tended to mesmerize them, so there were several occasions that I could stand and shoot the same dragonfly for a good 15 to 30 minutes. There was one occasion that a school group came upon me at Sweetwater Preserve when I was shooting and I remember chuckling when a little girl asked if the dragonfly was dead because it hadn't moved the entire time we were talking. One of the other kids moved in on it and was able to show that no, it wasn't dead. The second part is a sense of sharing with the feeling best described in the words to a Navajo prayer that I first heard when I came out to Arizona. With beauty may I walk. With beauty before me, may I walk. With beauty behind me, may I walk. With beauty above me, may I walk. With beauty below me, may I walk. With beauty all around me, may I walk. So when I go out and photograph, I always try to keep this in my mind. If I see something interesting, I take a picture of it so I can share the beauty, tranquility (especially this), humor, happiness, or whatever the scene might invoke with others. I figure if the scene is special in some way, then it is my duty to share it. I tend not to take photos of people because people usually want some sort of staged portrait taken of them and I much prefer the photography of unguarded moments where the lens is ignored or forgotten. Everything else is fair game though. I LOVE city lights at night, probably because in part the setting tends to remind me of the setting for Tron & Tron: Legacy. The very, very end of Tron with the (probably interstate 5) freeway gridlocked as it goes through Burbank actually gives me an overwhelming wave of nostalgia, but I digress. Currently, my photography is a hobby though I have shown some of my photos in galleries. The orange tabby in the window is a picture I've sold in a gallery show and the silhouetted dragonfly, the hawk, the wheel window and the Hayden, AZ pictures have been in gallery shows also. With the exception of Wedge (which was with a T3i), all of the photos were taken on some type of point and shoot camera. I finally got a T3i, but have yet to really get out to any place or really play with it -- I really need to learn manual mode on that thing. I also try to take pictures where I don't need to use photoshop for anything but a little cropping or using the other tools in a very, very minor way. I dislike photos that are "spliced" together. That's cheating, IMO. But yes, getting to the point were I could sell my photos on a regular basis would make me a very happy camper.
