I couple of days ago, it got really cold here in Dallas, we decided to light a fire in the fireplace. After some time of it burning and coming to an end, the embers were remarkably bright. I love how this photo looks. It has a sense of calm and tranquility. As I sat here watching the embers, I zoned and was completely caught by the flicker, crackle, and brilliance of the embers. I remember seeing past the embers into nothing.

Here is the image.

2011 Winter Solstice - Window Decoration

I wanted to do something with the big window at the front of our home. I also wanted to give it a child's touch. So I invited my niece, Alexis, to come over and help me out. My thought was to create something different from all the other decorations around. I decided to use a black light. Finding one was not difficult, what was difficult was knowing whether one would be enough to light the whole decoration. My initial thought was yes, one would be enough. I started on Friday, Dec 23 at 5pm and finished at 10:45pm. The finished product was amazing.

So, here it is, my Winter Solstice Window Decoration.

This time, I took it back a little, decided on a better focused image and then processed it. Vibrant and colorful.

::Repetition in Red::

I love how this image came out.

I actually took the picture with light coming from the left, so I rotated this image 90 degrees right, to give the illusion the light was coming from above.

::Stoned Drain::

I've been told that this image reminds people of Niagara Falls. I like it because of the stone that breaks the line going from bottom left to top mid right.

::Flames::

I was wondering how this was going to come out. It was a tough angle to shoot. Since I couldn't look through the viewfinder.

I was, once again, at my brothers house, he had his HD out and I asked if I could photograph it. He said sure. I returned multiple times. They will appear on the next few days. Since I was intrigued by the reflections and colors.

A beautiful bridge I saw once we moved to Irving. I will be coming back, it has a very nice look and the leading lines it creates, well, make for wonderful portraits!
