Autumn is coming on and the Monarchs have gone and the Cosmos are getting scraggly.
Been a great summer though.
I have decided to join Nina on her challenge to take a flower photo a day for 365 days.

I may not have a chance to spend time on Flickr today as my son will be flying home tomorrow morning and the family will be over soon to spend the day with him. Catch up with you all tomorrow.
My daughter found this bug while we were working in the yard today. I have no idea what type it is but I LOVE the color! :)
Thank you very much to Dougeee. He identified this pretty bug for me and I now know it is called a Green Immigrant Leaf Weevil, or Polydrusus sericeus.

Another rainy day photo from my garden - I used auto contrast in Photoshop which gave this bright effect which I like better than the original.

Shulman looking at photos of Cara and Robert's house in the April '08 issue of Metropolitan Home magazine. He took photos of the same house back in the 50's. After looking through the magazine, he said, "I like my photos better." Then, he proceeded to tell me just how he would frame a shot of the kitchen/outdoor/living area of the home to capture all of the great visual aspects of the open area. I gave him my paltry little camera to see if he could capture the shot, but, alas, I don't have a wide angle lens on the camera, which is what he needed to get the shot. Then, Cara pulled out Robert's camera, but that lens didn't go wide enough, either.
After a minute, he began telling me how digital photography isn't real photography in many ways because it doesn't encourage the photographer to take his/her time to compose an image and really think about it before taking the shot. We just point and shoot and don't compose. I told him that I agree with him -- that's how a lot of people (include me a lot) take photos. But, I told him that there are many photographers out there who still take a lot of time to set up shots (hello, you light painters, macro lovers, and night shooters out there), who really proactively think about what they're doing, and who use the great technology afforded by digitals at the same time.
I don't quite think he bought my argument 100%, but he doesn't have to. He's Julius Shulman!
