SmugMug > popular > Other > the muse of speed? 09/24/08 i'm finally getting around to processing more pics from the car show earlier this sommer. don't ask why i haven't done them yet, the answer is either insanity, laziness or both and that's much too depressing :-( this isn't what i was hoping for but i just didn't want to dump it so i'm inflicting it on you. plan to have the full gallery up in the next few days
SmugMug > popular > Other > flashy stump snap 08/31/08 inspired by y'all who actually know what you're doing with light and lenses and everything i was practicing with the on-camera flash a bit in the minutes i had before work. this was the closest to turning out how i envisioned. try try again is about the only way i know how to learn. i also knock down brick walls with my head for my encore
SmugMug > popular > Other > Thursday June 5th 2008 ~ Ok I have a good excuse besides the fact I am cameraless see this sad face :( that is a self portrait of me without a camera My excuse is we got 100ml of rain in 4 days 50 something of those ml we got in one day so since Friday last week this photo and the last one I posted have been the only photos I have had a chance to take and they were taken on the same day on a break in the rain if you can picture this Mumsy and me pull up at the canal decide we don't have the time in the rain break to pull out the pram so Mum carries camera and I carry Daniel thru what I thought was some wet grass I was WRONG It was more MUD than grass I nearly ended up on my BUTT more than once because it was the slippery variety anyway we get to here and I think I got to take 4 photos in rather quick succession while Daniel was wriggling Furiously in Grandma's arms trying with ALL his might to get on the ground and the before mentioned MUD (not gunna happen kid LOL)and it starts to rain again rather suddenly so Mum and I and the camera and the wriggly child have to get across all the slippery to the mud in this rather cold rain I am wearing rather soggy not to mention inappropriate shoes fpr the task and again nearly went over every step I took (hence the fact Mum gave me the baby back and she carried the camera she wasn't risking the camera to me lol) anyway I don't know how but I made it to the car in one piece and if that wasn't enuf of an effort when we got there Mum turns to me and say we have to go get her a daily now - WHAT!!!!! so now that you know how hard I have tried to get a daily - You know I have not given up - But you will have to excuse me if I post a few oldies over the next few days and excuse the crookered (is that how you spell it?) photo but it didn't matter which way we straightened it it looked queer so we left it as it was After all I went thru to get this pic and its UNSTRAIGHTENABLE oh well such is life HUGS

SmugMug > popular > Other > Sept. 24, 2008: On one of my early camping trips with Lady Kate, a bear came into our campsite during the night. We'd had reports of bears being in the area recently, so each of us took pots, pans and large spoons into our tents, so we could make noise to scare any intruding bear away from our site. Little did LK know that I would beat my pan so hard when the bear neared my tent, that her prized camping pot would have a crater in it the size of a softball! From that day forward, my camping name became Officer Baby Bear, and I was required to bring my own "scare the bear" tools with me on future trips! Now, if you know about Lady Kate's camping trips, you realize that boas are pretty standard attire. So, imagine my surprise, when I recently walked into a small gift shop and saw this lovely creature. I was actually in Oregon on a solo camping trip. Of course, I couldn't resist taking this shot!
SmugMug > popular > Other > yucca fly 08/03/08 saw these lovely sweating yucca flowers and had to take a few shots, even tho i STILL haven't cleaned my sensor :-( , this fly flew in to drink while i was shooting so i adfusted a bit and nabbed it too, even tho it is a yucky fly
SmugMug > popular > Other > 02Aug Was at the Cape Town waterfront today and just couldn't help myself. Such a lovely rainbow! I'm on a no-post-processing of any kind kick (and will try to be for as long as I can). So no cropping... which is frustrating but I'm hopeful it will push me to make more intelligent composition choices. But for now I'm still working on it :)
SmugMug > popular > Other > 28May I've been pretty busy as of late and wanted to try something a little more playful. This was inspired by micalngelo's amazing photography of his cat's eye, which are about 100X better than anything I could produce. http://micalngelo.smugmug.com/gallery/4194021_EowXD/1/245079844_HeGum#245079844_HeGum Thanks micalngelo for the muse!
SmugMug > popular > Other > 1-26-08 I was digging through an old box and found these -- my old ballet pointe shoes. It's been years since I even wore them. It was once my dream to be a ballerina, and this dream did not come true for me but still holds a very precious spot in my heart. I haven't done a black and white for a daily photo yet, and I thought this really ought to BE black and white...sort of a nostalgic touch, I thought. I did also include a color version of it. And, in a way, this is dedicated to ARF -- who asked if there was anything I DIDN'T do. ;-) To answer your question, yes. This is one art form that I no longer possess the ability for. I might have once, but it is now only the memory of a dream.
