This one if for you Noel

I heard a great aphorism yesterday: "when one grows with someone, be it animal, human, or object, they develop similar physical features solely through emotional attachment. I wish I had the opportunity to shoot his wife or dog or husband too.

Oh and the reason why I wrote my friend Noel into the subject is because he recently noticed that I like to shoot old people. He is right, I do; age is facinating.

Beautiful Sunlight In Italy

Ah, here is one of my recent favorite photos. On my trip to Italy, when I first arrived, I checked into my hotel then began to explore the town. This is one scene that I found. The sunlight was just way to perfect in this shot. Thank you Italy for creating such a beautiful environment for photographers.

Poor Duck

Some random girl chasing the poor duck.

Cousins

Here is a photo of two of my cousins flipping upside down in the same lake as the previous photo.

Its been a while.

This photo is of a lake in Rancho Santa Margarita, a town near my new home. I was impressed with myself when I first reviewed it on my computer, but now, as I post it on the web, I feel like I tried to capture too much in a single photograph. Maybe it's the angle that I shot it at, maybe its because the horizon is in the center of the frame, or maybe its the birds I photoshoped in. But I am still posting it despite my feelings. So I figured that the only two reasons why I enjoy looking at this photograph is because of the bright colors contrasting the dim tonal range of such a naturally bright scene.
