day 4
____________________________
As a way to cope with circumstances beyond my control, survive and work to keep fighting for life I decided to try to take at least one photo (or more) each day. I call this “a photo (or more) a day.” Practicing this form of therapeutic photography helps me work to focus on the present moment, gives me something familiar and enjoyable to focus on as I use photography skills that have become like second-nature to me and being able to view the images I capture helps me recall what I was thinking, feeling and noticing at the moment when I created the photos. More of the photos from this series can be seen on my Instagram account
I may not always have the energy, time or capacity to share photos from this series—especially with the very challenging circumstances my family and I are experiencing—and will do my best to continue taking a photo (or more) a day even if I’m not able to share.
More experimentation with the steel balls from my children's Magnetix set. (My son woke up from his nap midway through this and was very puzzled by what was going on.) I like how it produced a bunch of self-portraits, but I wonder how many groups like "All People" and "Self Portrait Experience" this will get kicked out of on accident.
The word "swan" is derived from Old English swan, akin to the German Schwan and Dutch zwaan, in turn derived from Indo-European root swen (to sound, to sing), whence Latin derives sonus (sound). Young swans are known as cygnets, from the Latin word for swan, cygnus. An adult male is a cob, from Middle English cobbe (leader of a group); an adult female is a pen from the Welsh word for loud, pynne.
This is my picture that the most people have added to their favorites list.
This is the large size repost of this image. It is half of the original size, I set the DPI to 150. I will allow downloading for people that wanted to see the 18-200mm VR DX

I enjoy so many aspects of photography, I love the journey, the exploration, the vision and creation. When a sunset like this comes along, well its all about the moment and reflection for me.

I went swimming in the pool at my apartments and the water was sooo chlorinated it stripped almost all the blue and green from the front of my hair...

This is my favorite time of year. No matter where you turn--even inward--there's a ripple of hope and beauty. This is the loveliest period in the natural cycle.
I was hiking on state land and came upon a Creek. While I walked down the hill I noticed mini waterfalls forming bubbles. I suddenly realized I could see a reflection of the trees above me, including myself. The bubbles were spinning so I had to shoot at the fastest shutter speed available. I only brought my 300mm out since I was looking specifically for owls. This forced me to shoot at higher iso.

End of year is time for self-reflection. 2012 was a transitional year for me. New job, decisions were made and all in all, I have no regret. The only negative change is that I now have less time for photography, but the passion is still there. So all is swell.
Anyway, I wish everybody a great New Year's Eve. Looking forward to sharing another 365 days with you all.

Joel picked our theme in the Vent this week, and I love what he chose. The little things. Tiny moments, tiny things, anything little that makes you feel something. And in case you hadn't noticed, reflections are kind of my obsession right now. Especially reflections in my bedroom windows. And hearts. And my ring. :)
I've actually felt like garbage all day. I'm hoping this is just a 24 hour thing and I'm feeling a lot better by tomorrow. Skipping soccer tonight to rest. I hate doing that, but I just can't afford to get full-blown sick right now, so I'm taking preemptive measures. Andy just got done cooking crab legs and is going to shred them and make crab cakes for dinner shortly. I'm so excited that I get to spend the rest of my life with him running our kitchen.
Ok, enough rambling.

Doing a bit of self reflection tonight. I'm currently teaching a short 4 week course on Using Lightroom, and tonight's class was one of those train wrecks viewed in slow motion... I think I may have at one point put EVERY SINGLE person in the room to sleep at the same time. Clearly, I need to tweak my delivery and focus...
It's been so long since I've felt such epic failure at doing something, it's kind of embarrassing, slightly demoralizing, definitely humbling, but yet also very refreshing at the same time. Lately, I feel like my life is too easy, and things have just been sailing far too smoothly. I feel like I need a bit of stress to put that edge back on, to snap me out of that complacency that comes with coasting in comfort. I'm gonna regroup, readjust, and retry, so watch out, next week, I'm gonna rock you like you've never been rocked before.
Kiev 88CM, Arsat 80mm f/2.8, on Fuji NPH 400.
In June of 2015 I will asked to shoot a wedding in the beautiful city of Paris in my signature documentary style.
I took along my Canon 5DmkIII (with 24-105L and 50mm f/1.4) with my Fujifilm X100T as a secondary camera.
These images are a selection of some of my favourite captures from what was a truly wonderful day.
