Shooting the rainbows

I keep a running list of plants, animals, & locations around the world I one day want to shoot. It’s a practice I really enjoy for a few reasons – there’s no way I can remember everything I see that I eventually want to shoot, but what I feel is even more important is that it keeps me motivated.

Moving pictures

I’ve never attempt time-lapse photography, but I want to play around with it someday. This just gives me all the more reason. Amazing that this was done with a still camera!

Smile of the Day

Remember The Princess Bride? I do. In fact when my best buddy of my childhood & I had sleepovers we’d fall asleep reciting the movie word-for-word. Ever wonder what Fred Savage was thinking?
