Here is another from the Dallas Arboretum. I did not use Fuji's raw converter on this one. I used PhotoshopCS and gave it a vignette. Also wanted the colors to pop. And they do. 

Dallas Arboretum

Went to the Dallas Arboretum yesterday, I know, it's like midnight thirty, yes I am up late. I'm also coming down with a cold or sinus something or other. Hate it. Anyway, I was there from 12:30 to about 4:15. Had lots of fun. This is one of the pictures I took. The rest will go up on my site.

Downtown

Was hoping to get something better for my website.

Well, I dragged my boyfriend out with me tonight to assist in getting this picture. I had him stop on the right shoulder of Woodall Rogers going East. There was a news van parked there so we had to wait. Once they left we moved in. I had fun with this. Hopefully I can do some more night shots of downtown. I may just do the surrounding cities as well.

Jupiters Explosion

Tried several different subjects. The assignment requests a single light and use of a reflector to open up the shadows. This one is being submitted for one of my assignments. I had a 16x20 printed and it looks beautiful. Now I have to get it framed.

Here is a drawing I made back when I was in jr high around 1981. Let me tell you, the actual photograph was tiny, I believe it was a 1x1 inch photo. The scan is not all that great. The original looks better. This was before I had any kind of formal training on drawing or sketching.

I took this picture at the Dallas Farmers Market at about 9am on Sunday, July 14, 2002. When you look at it from a distance it kinda looks like a waterfall or rapids. I've had several people say this to me.

It has begun

Ok, I have finally jumped on the blogger bandwagon. Whew!

Now all I have to do is keep up with posting thoughts, ideas, rants, raves, you know, everything that is important to me.
