Peony . . .

Bonnie's challenge:  edit a photo to look like a painting . . .

All photos are accurate.

None of them is the truth.

2012.06.28 Outside my own window

I enjoy traveling and recording far-away places and people with my camera.

But I also find it wonderfully rewarding to see what I can discover outside my own window.

You only need to study the scene with the eyes of a photographer.

2012.06.25 Knowing where to stand

Visiting the Exotic Feline Rescue Center . . .

"With over 230 exotic felines calling the EFRC home,

we are one of the largest rescue centers in the United States

for abused, unwanted and neglected exotic felines."

from the Exotic Felice Rescue Center's website

A good photograph is knowing where to stand.

~ Ansel Adams

And, at the Rescue Center,

the place to stand is several feet away from the fence :)

2012.06.24 What it feels like

Small town carnival . . .

Tornado, Tilt-a-Whirl, and Scrambler . . .

Don’t shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like.

2012.06.22 Not the camera

I'm grateful for simple pleasures

such as sitting at an outdoor table,

in the shade on a still-hot evening,

waiting on pizza,

with loving and fun family . . . 

The important thing is not the camera, but the eye.
