"Floor"

Hardwood floors are the coolest thing, they are easy to keep clean, stylish and all around cooler than carpet. But I will tell you what they are cold on your feet when you wake up in the morning as you head to the shower to start the day.

"mt dew"

This is an image I use when teaching composition. I like to stress the point that there are many ways to see the same item. I at the time was drinking the soda, and was trying to figure out how to get my point across, so I grabbed the camera and snapped a bunch of pictures of this bottle. The bottle never moved, but the camera did. I got my point across, so it worked, this exercise also lead to cleaning under the couch.

"The Dog"

this is my roommates parents dog, we don't get along. I have no problem with most animals, but me and this animal don't see eye to eye. This dog is like 14 years old and deaf. It is like having a 90 old grand parent for a pet, they do what ever they want, peeing and pooing at their leisure and you're never sure if you'll find them sleeping or dead.

"My Protection"

Here's the thing, I love in the Kenthood, and I felt I need some protection. So I have a rusty Knife sticking out of the base board in the hallway leading up to my room. If you ever try to break in to the house I will hear you and you will feel the wrath of the rusty knife. I have had to use it before, and am not afraid to use it again. I have some sweet knife throwing skills, you have been warned.

"Leaves in the Drive"

The other day it was a touch dreary and dismal out so I switched over to the sepia filter and felt it captured the feel of the day a little better than color. I like the filters that the camera has, it makes for some interesting pics. Switching to the filters allows me to pay closer attention to the light and exposure in the shoots. Look for more black and white to come.

"Kicks"

I am a man who loves the Nike tennis shoes. I don't own a pair of legit dress shoes. I do however have a pair of dress Nikes. My ever popular arguement is that why do some establishments not allow me thru their doors if I am wearing a clean pair of kicks? I have worn dress pants, shirt and tie and Nikes and have not been allowed into a bar, but the next guy had on a nascar coat, a pair of boats and wrangles with a chew tin ring in the back pocket. I am no slacker, or slouch, my feet like tennis shoes better. I like to match the shoes to the outfit, a little girly and gay, but hey I bring class back to the game and I ain't even a rapper. I am a white boy from the mean streets of grandville.

"Pumpkins"

You may be thinking: wow, those are some pretty neat looking pumpkins. Well you're right they are pretty neat pumpkins, that is why I took them off my neighbors porch and put them on mine. We are good neighbors, most the time.

"The art of the Mix"

I teach community members video production at my job, and the one thing that always scares them is the audio board. I love the audio board, there are some many buttons and knobs to play with. I like to stand behind the board and always adjusting something. This photo captures how impressive a board came be, or how intimidating it could be. All really depends on how you approach it.

My work on Sat. was only completed when I got all the leaves bagged up only to fight a losing battle with the wind that kept the leaves falling in the yard.

So I spent some time last night watching the t.v. So I used my treo to capture the essence of what I did for a few hours last night. It is always nice to shut the ever busy brain off and watch some television.

The show makes me laugh

'Flags of the Fallen'

I don't remember why I found myself in this cemetary, but I did. It was kind of a dreary day, so I shot black and white. I have a lot of respect for the vets, and hope this image speaks to that.

I got some down time right now, so I add another post.

'A Great Photo Op'

This was a photo I took this summer in St. Joesph Mi. We were in town for the weekend and I had my camera by my side. I am not a fan of taking what I call standard pictures. i.e. sunsets, lighthouse, waterfuls, etc. But I couldn't help myself, it was just to perfect of a photo op. to pass up.

So on the second day of my experiment I have already strayed, but In my defense I was busy. I did take some pictures so I will post twice today.




'My Pants'

I was looking at some magazines and saw some really cool pictures of clothes so I thought I would see if I could take some cool pictures of them. This one of the better ones I thought

amieds log, 10/30

That I would check this thing out, they call blogging. So here I am. I was turned on by this for one reason, I thought it would be a good study of my skills and talents to post a new photo every day. This way it would allow me to devolp my skills and the way I view things. It will also give me something to do. here is todays photo.




"Potential Fire"
So this is a picture I took a while back, i was out taking photos in a park, and while I was truckin' thru the woods I came across this nicely stacked pile of sticks. It reminded me of a good way to build a fire.
