Posts with photos, about photos, and about photography itself
It’s below freezing here in Phoenix this morning, and the most that will come out of our kitchen sink is an occasional drip.
I thought I’d experiment with a blue-toned monochrome for this image, since blue is the color of water (sort of), and the image was fairly monochromatic to begin with. The blue tone also seems to evoke the emotion of wanting… waiting… missing something.
Inspired by the Camera Toss phenomenon, I swung my compact camera by its wriststrap in front of my electric menorah a few days before Chanukah started. It looked so festive, I decided to save it for the New Year.
Andy, my mom, and I went to the Phoenix Art Museum and saw a fascinating dress exhibit, 100 Years of Evening Gowns. I took this photo and find it very interesting how oddly these abstract “faces” seem to express some human emotion.
Happy Chanukah – 7th Night

I find it challenging to do anything "religiously" (i.e. "consistently," pun intended), and remembering to take a photo of the chanukiah each night of Chanukah this year was no exception. It’s enough just to remember to light the candles (or, in this case, turn the light bulbs) each night at sundown, much less remember to take a photo of it after dark. So, forgive me for only offering the first and second nights, and the seventh (and if I remember tonight) the eighth nights.
I decided to take this one with my better camera, and I went for a different angle this time because I liked the way the lights were reflected not once but twice in the dual-pane window.
On another note, (more…)
