This photo is not one of mine, though I wish it was!

One of my favorite ways to see what’s going on photographically in the world is to check out Flickr.com, especially the explore section. Doing so gives me inspiration and really broadens my horizons. One of my favorite artists on the site is Brooke Shaden. Shes in California and barely in her 20s. Her images are beautiful, ethereal, surreal. She comes up with the most dreamlike stuff, and many of the photos are self portraits. Jumping in and out of photos is a serious challenge. One she’s handled well. I think the images will last like a great painting. Her work inspires me.
I’ll post others from time to time. In the meantime, go check out flickr.com, especially Brookes work!

As the days get shorter, the summer crops are getting closer to harvesting. Sunflowers that used to be so beautiful are about ready to meet their destiny. Dove were in the field. In September, hunters will be shooting dove in this area.

Lightning bugs needed to get a room, right after dinner.

Lots of deer tracks all over this field

No longer things of normal beauty, I still enjoyed being here.

As we all know, say it with me. Square and black and white= art. Plus, it’s about death. So now it’s heavy art. All the goth folks can chime in now.

I’ve been meaning to get to the park downtown and never got the round tu its in. Today I went after work and got the park pics. They came out ok, but I wasn’t really psyched when I saw them. After I left the park area, I came across the gate and wall, during the golden hour. Dinner had to wait just a few more minutes for me. I’m glad I stopped!
