Political Candidate

Sometimes you just have to wonder who's running the country.  If politicians had the best interests of the country in mind, we wouldn't be where we are today.

Beach Seating

The essence of summer.

Just in Case

You just never know when you'll need a little help in life.

Restricted Summer

Too many concerns for fun.

Summer Clean

Nothing says summer like the beach.

Fish, Man, Fish

Hooked on summer.

Lonely Umbrella

I forced myself out of the house to capture some images of summer before it's over.

Walking the dawn

Getting back to something solid.... a foundation from which we can start... our beginning.

Fresh Fish

We set out with our cameras, not knowing what type of images we'd catch.

No No No

What's a person to do?

Ready for seating

Trying to match interior and exterior light is a challenge, especially on an overcast day. This shot probably would have turned out better had it been taken around dusk.

The barrel distortion is another issue that needs to be addressed.

Not Serving Anymore

as the recession continues.

Be Still

A quiet summer afternoon.

Bottles and Chairs

Though I used a bit of flash and a high ISO setting, a longer exposure and tripod would have been a better way to go.

Who, us?

Some people can tell a whole story with a simple piece of chalk.

End of an era

End of an era, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

What's sad isn't the end of the shuttle program, we knew that would end eventually.... What's sad is the fact that there's nothing to replace it....

I think that says a lot about us as a nation.... we lack vision and focus, and are too busy fighting amongst ourselves.... which doesn't bode well for us, nor the future of our youth.

Love to share

These moments last a lifetime.

Old Tower

Out to see what I can...

Closed Off

Sometimes the world just feels that way.

Old Hippie

There's one in every crowd.

Shooting in the dark

Somebody shot off a flare about where I was shooting.... it nicely illuminated the rocks where I was shooting from, showing all the other people sitting there shooting.

Once our beacon

This started out as a photograph.... and yet I ended up with this. The point is, don't take freedom for granted, or it'll just fade away.

Have a seat

The invitation of summer.

Big Spray

You just never know what will cross your path.

Racing Orange

Parades may be a challenge to photograph, but they can provide for some fun and surprising results.

Google Plus

I'm really looking forward to getting a google plus account. Really, there's got to be an alternative to Facebook, something for adults to use, and something that's useful and functional (something you can't say about FB).

Americana Red

All dressed up and ready to roll.

She's got the spirit

Getting a shot you like makes the effort worth it.

Yesterday's Freedom

I'm not so sure we're really all that free anymore. I've thought about this a lot lately, and it seems we may be celebrating something we no longer have.

Old talk

It's good to carry a camera with you.... never know what the world has to say.

Shadow Ramp

It's been so long since I'd focused in on small details, that I thought it time to get back to a little more abstract work.

When we had jobs

An era not so long ago.
