    Fear of Water…Not…

    My grandson has absolutely no fear of water and will dive in if not watched. My other grandson was terrified of water at first and didn’t get use to it until 5 or so.

    Latest Work and Photoshop Lessons…

    I took a photograph of mine to be printed and l learned a new trick. It seems I’ve always used “Sharpen” or “Unsharp Mask” when I wanted to clear some of my photographs up. Then I was introduced to the High Pass Filter. (Ahhh..so THAT’s what it does!) Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art In photoshop – you make…

    Irons in the Fire…

    Seems these days I have alot of Irons in the Fire. So much so that I look at the lists of what I NEED to do; What I would LIKE to do; What I HAVE to do, and wonder where to start. I haven’t updated the “Blahg” in awhile due to job hunting and stressing. Other than that I’ve managed…

    Photography as Art…

    Do not concern yourself with the questions, “What is art?” or “Who is an artist?” Everything is art. If what you see and do comes from your heart, you are an artist. – Anonymous Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art Simple quote that inspires me to look around and take photographs that make me feel good. Peace, Love, and…

    Competition…

    I love photography and it is a huge part of how I keep my sanity in these troubled times. Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art These seagulls all have one thing in common. They all the want the piece of bread I have in my hand. (I know – I conned them in to a photo op). Such is…

    Storm Victim…

    Well. Seems like the storm the other night got another victim. It happens more often than you think when you leave your computer on all night without the benefit a UPS (Uninterupted Power Supply). Powerstrips don’t always protect as they should and hard drives can still be damaged by not being shut down properly. Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo…

    Lightning…

    I’m not a big fan of lightning. It’s powerful. It’s fun to watch from the safety of indoors (unless of course it blows up the transformer across the street, then it gets more on the frightening side). I searched the internet to find out how to photograph this wonder and decided to try it. The storm was so bad there…

    Cloud Prism…

    I have never seen anything like this before but I suppose it has something to do with the way Rainbows are made. The cloud layer above these storm clouds started changing colors. Image Copyright © 2009, Barrett Photo Art It was really awe inspiring and kept me standing on the porch for a very long time.  I found one place…
