Today was an amazing day. I have seen the statue of liberty many times and have taken many pictures of it. I must say, however that this is, by far the best shot I have ever taken. I love the perspective of this shot. The people in this photograph make it very special.

Portrait of my precious Dade County Pine. It is the tallest tree in my yard. It reaches high into the sky, and is very old and very strong. It took a lightning strike 3 years ago, and saved my house from burning down. We had many electrical items "fried" and mirrors cracked and all sorts of weird stuff, from the electricity- but no fire. The poor tree is quite scarred and damaged, but still alive. I touch it and thank it every day. I called out arborists to check it, and they kept saying, "He's a big guy, he's a big guy. Maybe he'll be okay." I hope he will. Some of the upper branches are still dying off from the lightning strike. I love the reslience of this tree, and it's protective nature and strength.
South Florida used to be full of Dade County Pines, but many of them died after Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Their root systems were damaged by all the debris that hit the ground around them. My three Dade County pines had their root systems protected by my deck that surrounds them, and they lived. Now they are rare survivors. I sure hope this one makes it.

As you can see, the visitors are very much interested in taking the pictures which create an illusion of the subjects like monuments being smaller or taller than them. This type of photography is very much popular among them. You can create an amazing picture which force the viewers to stop and see your clicked pictures.
An interesting perspective of two really strange palm trees in front of In-n-Out.
2. Perspective. Things that are close are big. Things that are far away are little. Yes -- that's an over-simplification. But you get the idea, right?
I was doing pretty good until I got to the middle and looked down between the cracks... and the cables dipped below 3 feet so I could no longer hold onto them.... not wanting to be the only tall white guy in the middle of the bridge crying out for his Mommy I puckered up and kept those feet moving... small steps, but still moving... :)
The perspective that I am referring to is how easy the crossing looked from the hillside before we reached the bridge and how completely different everything looked and felt while standing in the middle of the swinging bridge. The warning signs said not to have more than 8 people on it at a time and right about the time we reached the middle where I could no longer touch the steel cables several young men jumped on the bridge from the far side causing more swinging action and walked quickly towards us. I guess thats where the pucker part kicked in.... :) Somehow we moved to one side and let them pass... I don't remember that part clearly as I was focused on the rocks and rushing water below... :P
I find it's easy for our perspective to become skewed in our daily lives as well when we don't have a solid anchor from which we can draw strength during challenging times... I think it's good to examine our anchor from time to time... :)
if you look at one side of the story, you run the risk of limiting thoughts and imagination with your knowledge.
question, engage and push!

I had my subject lay in the grass so I could capture her body from top to bottom giving it a different perspective as usual.
Sometimes, the most challenging person to truly look at is yourself."
A surreal studio concept exploring self-reflection, scale, and the delicate balance of holding space for our own inner voices. Shot against a minimalist white backdrop to keep the focus entirely on the intricate, custom-beaded sage green garments and the silent dialogue between the figures.
I really like the feeling you get when looking at perspectives of trees in the woods.
Maybe its the exaggerated heights or the brooding gray skies.
Unusual perspective and mix of red and greens.. Also tried for a third composition (both shadow and the tree on third lines) and diagonal line cutting soil & water!!
but.. if i have to explain the composition its not a composition anyway :).. so tell me if you could notice all that without me telling that :D
Same subject, different perspectives. This is how I've been looking at life lately. The geek in me says I'm doing a cost-benefit analysis on my life. The writer in me says I'm doing some soul-searching. However which way you look at it, this period of transition will soon be over. Pardon the cliche but I can't wait to take photos of silver linings.
