  • I Am Twenty Five...


    ...And I am filing for blogging bankruptcy.  There are images and events from as long ago as June of 2008, and every subsequent month since then, that I have not even looked at yet.  Something has to change around here.  I seem to have to do this once every year.  I could make a "resolution" to blog at least one picture on any day that I go out shooting, but I know that won't happen.  So I'm just going to do whatever I want.  No guarantees.  This is my blog, after all.  I can do what I please.

    Here are a couple photos from a beautiful moment in nature a few days ago, from the absolute middle of NOWHERE...

    Nikon D300, Sigma 50-150 2.8, Tripod.

    Nikon D300, Nikon 17-55, Sigma Circular Polarizer, Tripod.


    Take care!

    Contact is all it takes,
    To change your life, to lose your place in time
    Contact! Asleep or awake
    Coming around you may wake up to find
    Questions deep within your eyes,
    Now more than ever, you realize...

    And then you sense a change
    Nothing feels the same
    All your dreams are strange
    love comes walkin' in
    Some kind of alien
    Waits for the opening
    Simply pulls a string...

    Another world, some other time
    You lay your sanity on the line
    Familiar faces, familiar sights
    Reach back, remember with all your might
    Ohh there she stands in a silken gown
    Silver lights shining down

    And then you sense a change
    Nothing feels the same
    All your dreams are strange
    love comes walkin' in
    Some kind of alien
    Waits for the opening
    Simply pulls a string
    Love comes walkin' in...

    Oh, sleep and dream, that's all I crave
    I travel far across the Milky Way
    To my master I become a slave
    Til we meet again some other day
    Where silence speaks as loud as war
    Earth returns to what it was before

    And then you sense a change
    Nothing feels the same
    All your dreams are strange
    love comes walkin' in
    Some kind of alien
    Waits for the opening
    Simply pulls a string
    And love comes walkin' in...

    Love comes walkin' in
    Baby pull the string
    Love comes walkin' in...

  • nice pics.thx for sharing! I use my blog to give critiques to self and to ask for them.

  • Happy birthday, Matt!  These are lovely shots -- they look tidal, but I wonder if you were at the Salton Sea or Mono Lake (each of which is in the middle of nowhere!) rather than by the ocean?

    blog when you can...we know you have a busy schedule !

  • ryc: yes, I took that photo.  We were driving home from downtown and couldn't believe the way the lake & skyline looked, so I got off lakeshore drive and made my daughter get out of the car with me to snap those photos.  It was -9!! The insides of my nostrils were frozen and I was only out there for maybe 5 minutes.

  • I know that place well. Gotta love the salten sea. Such a BEAUTIFUL place (especially at sunset! WOOOF!)

  • Oh boy...I feel like a big doofus! You've given me wedding photo advice during your birthday week?! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! I hope this year brings much success and love (of course, the big wedding!) to you and your sweetheart!
