Everyday Art


Slowly, I’ve been learning about the Nikon and how to use it effectively. It’s more than a different feel — it’s a whole new animal. One capable of pretty astonishing quality.

What I like even better are the opportunities that the camera system presents. I try to take it with me as often as possible, including unlikely events like helping friends move:

U-Haul as Art

Oh, someone please write a tell-all on the American icon that is U-Haul. Have I a cover photograph for you…;)

Was back in their house the next day, and set up this shot intentionally — wanted to see the light reflecting off the surface:

Rusting Stars

This one’s been fooled with in Photoshop a little, but minimally — the originals are of such high quality that it’s now a question of tweaking or artistic touches instead of “fixing.”

Moving weekend — a camera expedition. Whoda thunk it? Yet two shots (well, more, actually — click thru to Flickr to see the rest) that I wouldn’t have otherwise. Glad I brought it along.
