    Night Photography (Austin)…

    I’m just now learning how to expose photographs for night lights. The intrenet is a wonderful resource for looking up settings to start with. So, I took my camera down to Town Lake in downtown Austin Texas and played with the settings that I had found on the internet. The settings I ended up using: ISO 100, f.8, and exposed…

    Another Season…

    I love the time when winter is easing on out and spring begins and the flowers pop up and the trees get leaves. I think green is one of my favorite colors. Blue Bonnets are popping up everywhere, as well as these yellow flowers (that I don’t know the name of – wish I did). I just take photographs of…

    Old Cars…

    I like old cars. I see them in fields and on the side of the highway. Some are rather nostalgic looking. From a photography stand point I love stumbling upon these seeming works of art – but is it ‘junk’? Litter? Or is it an eyesore to some? I don’t know. I found this speciman to be rather colorful. Enjoy.…

    Still Dreaming…

    I still dream of flying one day. Every time I get close something else happens. For now I’ll just photograph the objects of my dreams. I just really wish I could spend more time “up there”. I’ve taken a ‘discovery’ flight or two. The adrenalin rush lasts for weeks. I just need to figure out how to get money to…

    What Happened…

    I wonder where we are going.  I wonder which road we are really on.  I wonder where we’ll end up.  I’m thankful for many, many things.  But it’s getting harder. The harder I work; The less I seem to have.  The more behind I get.  The harder I try to catch up there is another knock at the door.  The…

    First Full Moon of 2010…

    Being a “Cancer” with the Moon as my planet I was amazed at how bright it was this evening. It was almost like daylight. The trees casting shadows and all. This being the first full moon of 2010, it is also known as the wolf moon. Makes me want to howl. There are lots of sites that tell you how…

    Oceans…

    Ever stand on a beach and look out over the ocean and try to fathom how really, really large it is? But alas, I’m usually too busy watching the sun sink down to the other side of the world making it morning somewhere else and also thinking “Panama” is out there somewhere.  I more or less grew up there.  But…

    Blue Rails…

    Living in and around the city these days I don’t see alot of trains. I don’t know what it is about railroad tracks that conjurs up emotions of travel, mystery about where they go, and alot I cannot really explain. I remember stories of the homeless, and hobos that ride the rails – are they extinct? Are there any hobos…

    Airports…

    I love aircraft and airports. I love flying. I love watching them. Almost like watching birds just twice as noisey.  I like trucks also – but I have to tell you I have a TON of respect for anyone that can guide a 747 around a taxiway. Technology is amazing. How something that big can even fly. I sat and…
