Here's one of my portraits (my current icon) as finished by the talented Mr. James White.
Never thought I can say having a photo of me done in this style is beautiful, but it really is. Do take a look through his photostream to see his other masterpieces.
This is my first attempt at smoke photography.
To get this shot, I used a technique that I read about on DPS. It took some trial and error but I was worth the effort!
Here is the link to anyone that is interested.

I have several baby anoles in my yard but this one is different. It is partially translucent & you can see glimpses of the internal organs. Cute little baby.

Fun looking at what happens when objects fly by the camera.

Father and son collaboration
Our photographic art is a kinetic motion study, from the results of interacting with my son A.J and his toys.
He was born severely handicapped much like a quadriplegic. On December 17,1998. Our family’s goal has always been to help A.J. use his mind, even though he has minimal use of his body.
A.J. likes to watch lights and movement. One of the few things he can do for himself is to operate a switch that sets in motion lights and various shiny, colorful streamers and toys that swirl above his bed.
One day I took a picture of A.J. with his toys flying out from the big mobile near his bed like swings on a carnival ride. I liked the way the swirling objects and colors looked in the photo.
I wanted to study the motion more and photograph the whirling objects in an artful way, I wanted my son A.J. to be a part of it. After all, he’s the one who inspires me. When A.J. and I work together on our motion artwork, A.J. starts his streamers and objects twirling, I take the photographs.
Activating a tiny switch might not seem like much to some, but it’s all A.J. can do. He controls the direction the mobile will spin, as well as when it starts and stops. The shutter speeds are long, and sometimes, I move the camera and other times I hold it still.
I begin our creation with a Nikon digital camera. Then I use my computer with Photoshop to alter the images into what I feel might be an artistic way. Working with Photoshop, I find the best parts from several images and combine them into the final composite photograph. I consider the finished work to be fine art. The computer is just the vehicle that helps my expressions grow.
I take the photographs and A.J. adds the magic. It’s something this father and son do together. After I’ve taken a few shots, I show him the photos in the back of the camera. When the images are completed, I show him from a laptop. He just looks. He can’t tell me whether or not he likes the images, but he’s always ready to work with me again.
It offers me my only glance into A.J.’s secret world. We’ve built a large collection of images and I hope the motion and color move you as much as they do me.
A.J. inspires me to work harder to understand my life in the areas of art, photography, people, spirituality, and so much more. He truly sets my mind in motion and helps me find the beauty in everyday things.

ODC Macro/Close-up
For me, this isn't terribly Macro, but this tiny little translucent toadstool and its companion were absolutely stunning. They are still pretty small, as you can see from the clover leaves in one of the photos. Narrow DOF was order of the day to make the most of their flimsy character.
This giant HELLO KITTY is made from about 11,000 ribbons and 10meters height. Could you recognize it "cat" ?

A shot from my archives that I stumbled across when I was moving some images from 2007 on to a new external hard drive.
This was taken with a Nikon D80 coupled with a Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens. Proof positive that you don't need a dedicated macro lens to get a decent closeup.
If you have a moment, I hope you'll view this at one of the larger sizes available.
