Gone Fishin'

I got some great shots of a leisurely Sunday afternoon in Sakai City, Japan.

Changing of the guard...

... At the memorial palace of Chiang Kai-shek in Taipei

My First Photo Outing

A few pictures from an outing at a local nature center.

 

Emptied Pockets

My first attempt at a still life photo. I call it "Emptied Pockets"

Surreal

Playing around with image editing - I like the 'Surreal' effect of this one.

Life in the dirt

Early picture taken on my friend's Nikon D60 while taking it for a "test drive" For some reason I always liked this shot...

Off we go!

This is the beginning of my adventure. I've always had what I belive to be "an eye" for what makes a good picture. Indeed, it runs in the family, and a a child I remember having boxes and boxes of family photos.

Now I find myself wanting to take it to the next level, and see if I can begin to express more creativity through my photographs. So I traded in my Kodak Easyshare 875 for a Canon Rebel XS dSLR.

The journey begins...
