He never even saw me

                    PHOTO by Karen Foreman

Taken at Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo, CA in Jun '10.

I liked to think he's coming upstairs for me.
But he wasn't.
He never even saw me. 

Heart

                                 PHOTO by Mailoh

There was a human quality to this cell. There is an arch at the top that "heart" come to mind with the red and at the far left or bottom of the cell in the bottom left corner is almost a belly...

Sorry for my lack of posts lately.  Send me something ;-)

Cowboys and Cadillac’s

       Photo by Ben R.


On my way to Denver I stopped in the cowboy capitol of the world,
Ogallala, for lunch. I sadly realized that a cowboy’s main mode of
transportation is an Escalade.


It's been a while since I have posted here.  I'm really glad Ben sent this.  It made me giggle.

Testing the light

        Photo By Kate Sypal

The only time Ben and I take photos of each other is when we are testing light out for a photo gig. Here is Ben, moments before my first paying photo job. Granted it was a small one, and I photographed the kid before, but it made me nervous nonetheless. After an hour of photographing a four month old later, I am eager to upload my results. The most pleasant surprise is the photographs before the baby. The photos of Ben looking uncomfortable, concerned and darn right handsome. It's the look I see everyday but need a quick snapshot to remind me of how lucky I got.

It should be known that Kate and Ben are recently engaged to be married.  I am so happy for them and can't wait to see what kind of creative life they produce together!  

I was just plain giddy to see I had a submission this morning!   I hope you will consider sending something.  If you have a website I’ll link it on the sidebar.  Just send something!

Shadow

Sam Dog is a shadow. He's a big clumsy 200lb shadow.

Just to continue with the unofficial Dog theme this week

Rainy Day

Photo by Jess

This was taken with my cell last Monday during a rainy day indoors with our little Charlie Boy. He wanted to be outside but I was trying to limit his access (muddy paws and wet dog smell). How lucky to have the phone nearby, capturing this very endearing moment.

I'm a sucker for a dog photo!  Love it!

Summer is coming

    Photo By Bobbie Lebow

I took this picture of Ty's foot while he was so busy "chalking" on the stairs.  It's a rare moment that he is still long enough for me to grab my camera.  I love the chalk and the grass on the bottom of his foot.  A sure sign that summer is coming. . .my barefoot boy doing what he loves most. . .playing outside in the sunshine.




I am so ready for summer.

LaVista Safari?

    Photo by Larry Gawel

This picture comes from either the African Savannah, taken on one of my many intercontinental trips, or from Cabela's in La Vista...I just can't seem to remember which...

Larry was one of my instructors from Metro Community College and probably one of the biggest influences on my photographic "eye".  He taught me to appreciate and really look at an image.  Because of him I know who Bernice Abbott,  William Eggleston, Lee Friedlander and Joel Meyerowitz are just to name a few.  All of which have created some of my favorite images.  Larry and his equally talented wife Dana Fritz are curators at the WorkSpace Gallery in Lincoln, NE.

Give me strength

    Photo by guess who? TIFFANY!

I got home from work this morning at 5am (I should have been home at 12:30am) I woke up at 6:50am.  I am not a morning person.  Working late nights can be frustrating but every so often I'll turn around and see something beautiful.  Like this mural in South Omaha.  I was processing a scene across the street.  It was so quiet at 3am and I remember feeling this warmth behind me.  When I turned around I thought wow, is that Tom Selleck?  I had been on this street dozens of times and never saw this mural.  Sometimes it takes the quiet of the night to see the beauty around us.

Indian Summer

    Photo by Miles

This was taken at my favorite spot in all the world. Eben G Fine park in Boulder. The water once the top of a frozen mountain rushes causing impending breeze and with feet in the water it must feel how amoebas felt when they were hopeful of double celled organisms.

uh I put the wrong photo with the Lyons Ranch description below.  My bad.

Swim Fast

                       Photo by Tiffany Love

Since only two people have sent me images so far you are stuck with yet another one of mine.  This is from a while ago when the Olympic trials were in town.  Mutual of Omaha had this image on the front of their building.  I never noticed it until I drove by one evening when I was working.  It was beautiful with the blue light.

Lyons Ranch

  
Photo by Miles

Every morning I am hauled by Geronimo the Undying through this creek in Lyons, Colorado in the backyard of where I work. Fish streamline the surface, ice chips from certainty and loses itself among the current as it flows, intimidating, because we don't know if we're better off attached to something, or freely flowing.  

Happy Earth Day!

Screwy

                       Photo by Tiffany

I don’t think that this is a phenomenal image but I like the way it makes me feel.  It reminds me of my childhood.  In the first house I grew up in my mom had a corkscrew willow tree.  She would prune the branches and we would peel the bark off and use the branches to decorate the house.  I did not inherit my mothers’ green thumb but thankfully I married someone with one.  (He took a woody plants class in college you know)

Check out some corkscrew willow images on Flickr here.

Sleeping Indiana Jones

This photo by Karen taken last night especially for this site! I snuck into Gabe’s room after dark and took a quick snap with my Sony DSC-T300 and a shift to black and white on Picasa. He’s sleeping sweetly with his new bestie, a homemade Indiana Jones doll that took me two days to sew and stuff.

Karen that is the best hand made Indiana Jones doll I have ever seen!

Greatest Story Ever Told

Taken in Boulder, Colorado. I was out walking around one day and was sucker punched by the light of the sun behind this cloud. I took this photo and am glad I did.

How fitting my first image is from my baby brother!  Please feel free to comment!

LOOK

What I started.  Yet another blog.  This one however is not just about me or my business or my family.  It's about images.  Your images.  It's about encouraging one another to create. It's about seeing, critiquing and appreciating photography; networking, learning and loving the art of photography.  So send me your best shot.  The image that you are most proud of.  I will need your name, how you made the image, when, where, if there is a story behind it, or any other information you would like to share.  Also let me know if you are willing to sell prints of the image to “our” viewers.  You may watermark the image if you like.  This is a new project that I hope takes off but I’m sure there will be a few growing pains in the process.  So get to it.  I want to see what you see.

Tiffany

Oh and this is open to everyone!
