Day 195

Day 162

     Today is my last day being how old I am. Tomorrow when I wake up I will be older than I am now. But not by much. To most, by one year, but logically only by one day. I am so very grateful to be a part of this incredible world. And to be in the beautiful place I am.

     Feel free to ask me what's special about this picture.

Day 143

     I went outside just before a rainstorm today. The cloud cover is nice. And the colors can become fantastic.

Day 110

Day 87

Day 80

Spring? Are you really here yet? Every time I think you are, you fool me.

Day 52

     The sunset on a beautiful weekend. Now back "home" I go.
     These are two images I took this afternoon, overlaid together.

Day 39

     Every day I look at these mountains, see the trees dusted in snow. I want so badly to climb up. There's gotta be something magical there.

Day 10

     I don't know what's wrong with me. I am sick again, condemned to my bed for most of the day. Going to class was a poor decision, but also meant that I got to go outside to this.
     Every time I look at mountains with clouds hanging over them, I realized today that I always think of Ansel Adams. Of course you know who he is. He is the guy you think of anytime the subject of landscape photography is mentioned. But even he did some darkroom editing to create his famous mountain images. So I decided to give it a shot. Playing around with the dodge and burn tools, I found that there is a lot more freedom in an image. I'd used them before, but not so meticulously. These tools should be a photographer's best friend.
