Title: Coral Flower
Another flower I spotted walking in Boulder, CO. When I saw it, it reminded me of the coral reef exhibit they had at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium.
Enjoy!

Photo 365 - Day 240 (Leyline)
Day 240 (February 28th, 2011)
Title: Leyline
One of the fun things about taking picture that, when originally viewed as "plain" or "boring" is that with a little creative 'playing', you can really make them something completely different. While at a local park, I looked up and saw the contrail of a plane that had recently flown by starting to disperse. I thought; "Hey, it looks like someone put a rip in the sky." Which, of course, started an immediate discussion about Star Trek and "rips in the time/space continuum". It occurred to my Geek-infested brain, that a lot of genres use such things, normally called Leyline, as a cosmic force of magic and/or powers. In Star Trek, it was something that could rend the entire universe apart, in many fantasy worlds, they are the source of all magic, and in horror-type worlds, they are gateways for demons and evil to come visit and say "hi!". I'm hoping this one was more of a friendly "butterflies-slightly-annoy-you" variety.
And no, not huge demon-butterflies either. I know some of you were thinking it!

Photo 365 - Day 218 (One Ring)
Day 218 (February 6th, 2011)
Title: One Ring
Sometimes, no matter how hard you try you just can't get a "perfect" picture of something. Take my wedding ring for example - I love it. It looks cool has this nifty design and does fun things with reflecting light. But not on film. I tried taking a ton of photos of it to show off how the cut angles bounce light around, but no success. So, rather than calling the session a "wipe" I decided to use Photoshop to show, abstractly, how it makes little rainbows of light. Its not exactly the same, but that's why I call it abstract! Woo!

Photo 365 - Day 212 (Shadow Bridge)
Day 212 (January 31st, 2011)
Title: Shadow Bridge
Going along with yesterday's "boring" photo of the tennis court, I found this picture of a bridge I took and, at first glance it was really dull and flat. I decided, ala tennis court, that I would try and fix it up. I played with contrast, lighting and some other photoshop tricks and I really like how this one came out. It has some "pop" but still easy to identify.
Hope you like it.

Photo 365 - Day 211 (Intersection)
Day 211 (January 30th, 2011)
Title: Intersection
There are some pictures, that I really have no idea why I took them. Perhaps I thought they would look interesting or have some sort of compositional element that would be fun to look at, but most of the time I think its just because I'm nuts. I was taking some shots from the top of our building (18 stories high) and I looked down and saw the tennis court and though: "Hey, white lines! Those are cool!" and shot away. Afterward, I downloaded the photos, looked at them and thought: "Well, that was just stupid. Its just white lines."
After basically ignoring them for a while, I decided to come back to them and see if I could "play around" with just white lines and try and make them a bit more fun to look at. Here is the end result!
