This wall is the side of a bank (maybe…I can’t recall). The walkway leads to parking. It reminds me of an aquarium or something sea-related. After debating whether to photograph it, I finally decided I liked the colors too much not to.Continue Reading
The 100mm f2.8 AF macro lens was one of my earliest purchases. At the time, my focus was on documenting my garden. I wanted nice flower pics, and the only lens I owned was an AF 50mm 1.7. The 7000i that I had recently bought came with twoContinue Reading
Red-tailed hawks watched over our backyard for years. Once, there were two large pecan trees close by; the taller tree, in my neighbor’s yard, was 60+ feet. A similar tree stood next to our house, so close that it was encroaching on the foundation and had to be removed. Continue Reading
Having passed by these mirrors a few times, I decided to photograph them. They are along a busy street, about 15 feet from the sidewalk. Going from left to right, they are aligned along a gentle curve. Sitting in well-tended grass, they are flanked by buildings on all sides.Continue Reading

It was happenstance that I parked next to this tree. The spot was next to the shopping cart return stall and close to the store entrance. As you can see, the bark was peeling so cleanly that it looked like paper coming off a roll. I could not recallContinue Reading
I set out to photograph this building because of its colonial architecture, which seemed out of place given the modern buildings surrounding it. It’s unclear what it houses, as there were no signs hinting at its function. On developing and scanning the film, my interest shifted dramatically. Now, allContinue Reading
