I’m not sure if this little guy is covering his nose because something smells icky or if he’s giggling or crying. You decide!

This image was taken in Jim Thorpe, Pa. and is typical of the Victorian style architecture found in this quaint little town. What I liked about this scene is the contrast between the hard lines of the brick and window shutters and the softness of the flowers on the curtains.

Tungsten lighting. A black backdrop. Pink Calla Lilies. The Lensbaby Composer. The +4 macro attachment. The soft focus optic. No aperture ring. The final image.

This image was shot during the height of the snowstorm this past week. I photographed this scene in my yard using the Lensbaby Composer and soft focus optic, then converted it to black and white. Finally I applied a Fractalius filter for a more artsy kind of look. I’ll be happy to see flowers in my yard instead of snow…blah! 🙂

I’ve been paying special attention to taking photos of my cats as I know that I am blessed to have them for only a short time. My sweet cat Socrates went to heaven in January and I really miss him. I have some recent images that really captured his personality and will provide many happy memories. Here is my cat Sebastian photographed with the Lensbaby Composer and soft focus optic. I must find a way to convince Sebastian that a camera will not hurt him. Coming away with a good photo of him is a challenge. Treats might work!
