This is the first photo I ever took with my new, at the time, Canon Rebel 2000. I think it shows alot of what I gravitate towards as far as photography.
It means alot to me, the first image and I can see what still remains from that first image.
Yes, this is where Punk Dolphin was born....
Back in the summer of 1991, a comfort cab GE locomotive was still relatively uncommon. New C41-8W units No. 9447 and 9450, teamed with a new EMD SD60M, pull 84 IPP coal empties east of Starr, Utah (near Mona) the morning of Aug. 7, 1991.
If I were on an elevator
and it got stuck
and this little light came on...
Added to CotC as my most "interesting"
I'm well outside my comfort zone today.....
I nearly deleted this shot when I downloaded Sunday night's pictures to the laptop. But there was something about it that I found appealing. It's a shot of the sun setting over Earlswood Lake and I was trying out that 'zoomy' thing where you shift the zoom as you're shooting. Maybe someone can tell me if there's a better, more technical term I should be using :))
Part of the common and the ministract sets.
Ah, back to my beloved monochrome. I'm slowly getting to a place where I can be consistently satisfied with my colour work, but when photographing with black and white film everything from choosing a subject to editing the final images just seems to flow. Though I know I still have a lot to learn, being comfortable with the process is incredibly satisfying.

Pigeon coo, warm whispers,
calm enfolding.
Vinegar and the smell of the sea on the air.
Pockets of dappled sunshine soothing goosebumps.
piano keys tinkle,
deep breath,
time slows
I'm here.

There is this tea
I have sometimes,
Pan Long Ying Hao,
so tightly curled
it looks like tiny roots
gnarled, a greenish-gray.
When it steeps, it opens
the way you woke this morning,
stretching, your hands behind
your head, back arched,
toes pointing, a smile steeped
in ceremony, a celebration,
the reaching of your arms.

What's more comforting than mac and cheese or pizza? Both!
Notes:
Mac and cheese recipe from alton brown. Pizza crust and sauce from the store.
As much as eye contact is desired in a portrait, sometimes it's more about the individuals comfort level, and the humanity behind it.
Dwight is blind in one eye, and it is also a lazy eye. It hasn't always been this way, so I assume it is a "recent turn of events". Regardless, I can tell he was a little self-conscious about it. I asked him to look at the camera, and I noticed the moment of hesitation. I asked him to look down, and found I preferred this look anyway. I honestly found his "body language" to be, unfortunately, a more accurate representation of his true feelings.
During my foggy hike, I came across this egret (I think its an egret), and as I got closer, he (or she) took off flying and landed on the shore several feet behind me. I turned around and starting walking towards him again and when he looked nervous, I stopped and just watched him. He would keep an eye on me, but every once in a while, he would dart for a fish in the water. He got a small one at one point. I moved in closer and again, when he got nervous about me being there, I stopped and just watched.
After several attempts to get a bit closer, he took off again, and landed about 20 feet away along the shore. I walked towards him and the same song and dance happened all over again. This time, I got closer.
And he took off again, 20 feet further, I walked towards him, he got nervous, I stopped, he took off, yaddi yaddi yaddi.
This went on for quite some time. I actually impressed myself that I remained patient enough to play this silly game. He was probably getting totally frustrated with me because all he wanted to do was "fish" like birds fish and eat some breakfast.
But there I was. Being all up in his business snapping photos. When I shot this one, at this point, he really was getting used to me. I was only about 10 feet away from him. He didnt mind too much that I was there. He fished. I shot photos. We got along just fine.
And then, enough was enough.................
He flew away.
I got several shots but this was my favorite of the bunch. The fog was so heavy at times and this particular frame had the least amount of fog in the scene. The fog did make for a nice backdrop though.
Have a great week everyone :-)
My kids are grown, but I still have some things that brought them comfort when they were young. There is a well loved but tattered security blanket, Pooh Bear, and some of their favorite books.
