    The Other Side…

    I like tunnels. Or at least the perception of tunnels. The pattern that is created by looking THROUGH things…like the triangles at the park. I don’t know what the appeal is. Maybe it’s the other side. Or setting goals. Image © Copyright 2009, Barrett Photo Art I just enjoy the pattern created by some things. I mean looking under this bridge makes me want to skip a rock or just sit and watch the water reflect off the bottom. Image © Copyright 2009, Barrett Photo Art And…

    Texas Drought…

    Well they’ve announced that here in Georgetown Texas we are now under water restrictions. I was wondering when they were going to do that because I’ve enjoyed taking pictures in San Gabriel Park.

And here is near the same location today Image Copyright © 2009 Barrett Photo Art I’ve Seen Geese hiking the river bed in search of a “swimming hole”.

    Within 10 Meters…

    I truly love digital photography and one of my secrets is that I frequent the website of the Digital Photography School. Today I noticed a link (that they call challenges) entitled “within 10 meters” – meaning that there is a photograph within 10 meters of you right this moment that is ready to be taken. Well, here is the photo I took.  It won’t win any prizes but there is something about it I like but I haven’t figured it out yet. Image Copyright © Barrett Photo…

    Grasshopper Ham…

    Watering the plants the other day I happened to get this grasshopper wet. Well, I thought he was an interesting color so I went inside and grabbed my camera and thought I’d take a couple of photographs of him. Image Copyright © Barrett Photo Art After looking closer at the photographs I swear the little bugger was smiling for the camera. Image Copyright © Barrett Photo Art The look on the grasshopper’s face seemed to say; “Kiss Me! The Frog Was Lyin’!” Image Copyright © Barrett Photo…

    All is Quiet…

    It’s the end of the day. The floors are swept. The lights turned out. All have left. The streets fall silent as the night takes over. It’s time to sleep now. Image Copyright © Barrett Photo Art The quiet is nice at the end of a long day. The bench sits quietly waiting for morning when the customers will come and chat and people-watch and await their turn at the City Barber Shop in Georgetown, Texas. Peace, Love, and Time for Bed,

    Living Color…

    I didn’t want anyone to think that I made ALL of my photographs look antique. Though I do like the style and I love old things and antiques and yesteryear. It reminds me of my grandparents whom I was very close. But, I thought I would post my favorite photograph – in color – unedited (except for size) just to add some color to the site. Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art, All Rights Reserved It is my favorite, though I take new favorites all of…

    Georgetown Texas…

    I live in Georgetown, Texas North of Austin. I worked in Austin and commuted 47 miles to work. I count that as a blessing as now I have the opportunity to find work in the town I love and live in. Image Copyright © Barrett Photo Art They have a wonderful downtown square that is very active! Restaraunts, shops, boutiques, and an active theater that puts on fantastic plays! It has been so long since I’ve seen a live play and it’s quite an experience to watch.…

    Austin Bats…

    I think it’s rather unique to have a million bats fly out from under a bridge every night at sunset. Not to mention the amount of bugs they eat. It’s like the sunset party in Key West, FL watching the sun go down. In Austin, Texas – they watch the sun go down AND the bats come out! Beautiful! Image Copyright © Barrett Photo Art So all these bats come flying out of this bridge right at sunset and the people line the bridge to watch. It’s…
