Parallels

My dog is a Cairn Terrier, the same kind of dog as Toto from The Wizard of Oz. He's incredibly photogenic and dashingly handsome. The figurine is a Hagen-Renaker, made of porcelain in San Dimas, CA (I think.) Anywho, I thought it would be cute to put them together for my depth/emphasis project. What do you think?

Cactus Practice

This assignment was 'texture.' I took my camera to my friend's house because she's got a complete cactus garden in her house. For these particular photos, I practiced using my camera's macro mode with manual focus, because automatic couldn't make up its mind on where it wanted to focus. It's just like cars. I prefer manual shift cars because you have more control. Automatics just roar up to the gear's limit until they shift.

Magnify

I decided to take a break from posting my prints (mostly because I don't have any more to scan). So, instead, I'll be revisiting the digital pics from last year.
I like this shot because even though the plant is surrounded by rocks, it is covered in dew. To me, the dew represents the hope for life that the plant has.
