I just thought I'd post some pictures of myself on here... kinda like how Van Gogh and the other great artists did self-renderings, so have I. Give me feedback... I love it!

I've not posted in quite some time. I just have been extremely busy in my daily life and have put photography on the back burner until I am able to devote more time to it. Yes, I still love it passionately. I just have a very busy job [that pays the bills] and home-life that has not slowed down for my hobby. I have been researching during the time I've not been snapping and I hope that when I'm able to dedicate the time to it, I'll be even better than before. Here's some random pics taken since Spring '08. Hope you like them...

I am so glad that we have had some warmer temps the past couple of days. I am not a lover of the cold, that's for sure! I was able to go outside and snap a few pics of the motorcycle and of Cody yesterday and had so much fun.

Cody, for those who do not know him, is such a comedian. He cannot be serious for extended periods of time and typical of most boys...doesn't like his picture to be taken. Well, through the 15-20 minutes he "posed" I just got frustrated with his antics and couldn't snap pics for shaking when I laughed at him. I thought the effort was futile. Turns out, there were a couple of cute ones that captures the ornery, lovable jokester that he is...I see it across his face. He is so much fun...I love that little rascal!

Just some more random pics...

For December, it wasn't too cool out today...the sky was a nice overcast and there was a hint of a cool-front blowin' in. Hopefully, rain will be on the way because we so desperately need it. I was able to snap quite a few pics even though I was worried about the "gloomy" tone to them. It turned out pretty well and the sun even shined through a couple of times. Here's some I got.








Yesterday, I drove literally 10 seconds from my house and found this little piece of heaven on Earth...I love taking photos!!!
