SOmetimes we look for elements in nature to help fram a shot but occasionally nature supplies one that's perfectly complete just waiting for you to push the shutter.

Cowra Japanese Gardens 2005

Framed with three layers of frame ( stamp, splatter, grit) to get torn paper 3d effect to the frame.

bambi is a good well-behaved model.

This is shot that inspired me to do a series on the use of framing in composition. Not long before taking this I had been going through the photostream of Alan Schaller, and was so inspired by his work. I have taken shots from this approximate point of view and composition before, but tried to bring out as much detail as I could from within the shelter. Here I have taken a completely different approach and exposed knowing that the interior would be basically in silhouette. The inside of the shelter is really not important. It is quite ugly actually. I have processed to show just a bit of detail, while it could still act as a strong set of frames for the land outside. Should I have left the interior darker, without any detail? Hard for me to say. In the end I decided when processing that this was best.

As with most of my shots, I can always find something I would like to have done differently. In this shot I wish I had moved just slightly to the right so that the one tree was not obstructed by the post. I did go back another day to reshoot, but light was harsh, and in the end, I preferred this version.

A very nice frame of my original shot from Cintia Scola - Thank you Cintia for the frame! It is a good color scheme for the frame and shot.

Assault Frame variant of my Shikra frame. Uses the "Closer" archetype in that when taking damage it loses the Direct Fire system to gain the free 1d8G.

No matter what your looking at, it's always framed by something. Sometimes it a physical frame, sometimes it's your frame of reference.

Another image from the Vinoy outing.

Received lots of compliments on this outfit. So figured I'd show it off a bit more here.

I'm sporting some new hair too. It's close to my natural hair color. It feels very natural to appear this way.

Well - back to reality. Sigh.

After almost 20 days in the arid Southwest, I desperately need some hydration.

The di Rosa Preserve in the Napa Valley is an art and nature wonderland, home of Rene di Rosa's collection of Bay Area artists, including Arneson, de Feo, and many others. It has been open to the public for 10 years - though I have only now learned of it.
