Favorite Things to Photograph…
I’d have to say I have many things I like to shoot. I wish I wasn’t so introverted or I’d take more people shots (other than family, they have to let me photograph them.) I love old cars and even have one that I’ve sold a few of. It is one of my favorites that I call “Americana”. Other than old cars there is of course airplanes! I love a good airshow especially if they have the old AND the new birds putting on the show. I…

Heron After…
I remember when I first received my new Nikon fresh from eBay I had already set my sights on photographs I would like to take. San Gabriel Park here in Georgetown Texas was home to some Blue Herons that I chased up and down the San Gabriel river trying like crazy to get a good shot of him (her). They must have razor sharp vision because I couldn’t seem to get within 200 yards of the bird before it startled and took off. However, I was fortunate…

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 what I’m finding in the job market. There are now more people than ever competeting for that same piece of bread than ever before and I’m becoming…

Birds and Bees…
I love taking photographs of animals – birds, bees, bugs, and you’ll see quite a few of them here once I get started. In the meantime, Enjoy. Please feel free to visit the original blog (that I may try to import over here(?) at http://bobbarrett.wordpress.com Image Copyright © Barrett Photo Art I guess the best quote I ever heard as it pertains to photography is: “Don’t shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like.”- David Alan Harvey”. I couldn’t have said it better because I…
