Here is a photo while looking up at the trees in my back yard. I think a fisheye lens would make this photo look cool.

Our neighbor has a nice little bird house. I never see any birds going in or out of it. Hmmmmm, very suspicious.

Folks, do not try this at home. This is performed by a trained professional, or someone who is just too curious for his own good health. Looking straight into the sun through a camera lens isn’t the brightest idea (pardon the pun). I have to admit, I saw spots for about 30 minutes after i took the shot. It still hurts when I look at this photo..

After the pain and some light room editing, I think it looks pretty cool. Not necessarily art, but it was fun working with it. So I hope you enjoy this photo, if not, then the pain was for nothing. 😉

Here are Jenna and Ryan playing nicely together. Looks like Ryan is showing her how to play something on a Nintendo DS game. Or Jenna is cheating. 😉

I took this photo with my iPhone with very low light in the room. Little help from Lightroom, and viola!

I took this photo with my iPhone right after the rain fell. We were inside a local fast food place. I loved the look of the clouds, but the rain drops on the window and the reflection of the room we were in added so much to the photo.

When we had our addition put on our house, the builder took out a huge rock our and put it further into our back yard. So I took a photo of it and applied some effects, and viola. Art was born! Hope you enjoy, I have received many flattering comments on the past few photos. I really do appreciate all the kind words! Thank you!

I had fun with this photo. First I took a normal photo of the clouds from the ground. I then imported it into my iPad and used Trey Ratcliff’s 100 Cameras in 1 App to give it the affect of being above the clouds. Let me know what you think.

Here is my attempt at art. Not sure how good it is, but I took a photo of some clouds, brought the photo into Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, and did some enhancements. Honest opinions please????

Mission one was successful. My Son finally sleeps in his own bed. The next mission was to get my daughter a new bed because she has outgrown her toddler bed. Yes I know what you thinking, she is 5 years old and we had a toddler bed still. Well, for the longest time, she was sleeping either in my bed or on the couch in the great room. So we just put together this nice day bed for her room. I’m not sure why they call it a day bed when most people sleep during the night, but it matches her other furniture in her room. She is now sleeping in that bed as I type this post. I am hoping she stays in it all night.

Today, May 2, 2011, almost ten years after the terrorist try to change our way of life and failed, we have prevailed. Thanks to all those that put their life on the line to protect us and to bring the coward Osama bin Laden to justice. Here is a photo I took a few days ago. I thought even though I was looking through branches, that the photo was pretty good. You tell me?
