Texture is everything.

Texture is everywhere just pay closer attention to your environment and before you know it ,you'll have a file filled with really cool potential photo backgrounds .



There's an app for that !' /:0) dude

The little red trolly , reminded me of an old movie camera shot I just can't remember the movie it was in . So when I saw the moment happening I took the photo not really sure how to post it in the same point of view in my head . Well there is an app for that from adobe . Go figure .

Early morning serenity



I shot these images at 7am with thick fog, bright sunlight and a lack of experience in this type of photography. I have to say I'm very pleased with the images. I insisted on shooting directly into the sun rise and although I had exposure issues I'm still very pleased. I'm going to work on the skyline of the sunrise image now that I've learned double processing just to see if I can make the image any better, but honestly.......I like it the way it is. Always open to input, it's the only way to learn.

Tree

Love trees.  This tree is in the shopping center where Gelson's was.  Plan to photo it much more.  This is just a small part.  Have to figure out how to photo whole tree without cars and lightposts in the background.

Japan's Radiation

Yes, I know this is not a landscape but this is a co-worker's answer to how to protect yourself from radiation--put a garbage bag over your head. (It is great to keep that cell phone handy--never know when you will need it.

Environmental Portrait

Does anybody else see the profile of the crime lord and gangster Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars, including his little wormy tail? No slave girl is visible though. Jabba lives on the desert planet Tatooine.

Playing the angles!


Frankly I am not too motivated to shoot with my iphone, but it does make it easy to get low and angular when something gets my attention. For Kip, I just had to include a couple of kids in the waaay back. I love cloudy days!

Good Morning Starshine!


I know that there are maybe only 2 people on the entire campus that will remember the song from "Hair" and the Flower Children days of the 60's/70's, but I could hardly let this pass as I walked my pup this morning. Really, when I see this kind of stuff I have a hard time not attaching a spiritual connotation to what I believe is a creation moment, crappy cell phone image or not.

CELL PHONE IMAGES

Some watch while others only sit and wait! This was at about the ninth inning of the last game of the 2011 season opener against the Giants at Dodgers Stadium. You can tell it's getting late - someone's getting sleepy! The Dodgers won this game and the series 3 games to 1!

Tweens





Does anyone ever wish they could be this young again? The drama of friends , the possibility of someone liking you , the scariness of jr. High school ? I ponder this question everytime I spend time on campus with my child.



Morning work



7am coc campus and; already the campus is busy the sun is waking up and so are the busy guys building our new addition to the library .


Let the phone wars begin.
