Geometric

I know, it's been awhile - this is the first post of new work for this year.

Can you guess of what this image is?

Best of 2009

I've been seeing a lot of "Best of 2009" photo series. The idea intrigued me. Selecting only 10 photos out of the thousands that I took in 2009 was really difficult! It was great exercise examining images that I may not have seen awhile and articulate why I like a certain image or another.  Analyzing the reasons why one photo is better than another should, hopefully, help me improve.  Here's to a productive 2010.

Slideshow

Here is a slide show of the some of photos taken during my sabbatical from late last year. My travels started at the Belvedere Blues Fest in Canon City, CO, then onto Arizona, David and Nicole's wedding in Southern California, Las Vegas, and various national parks in southern Utah, finally ending with the Air Force-Army football game in Colorado Springs.

If you click on the image, you'll be taken to the SmugMug slideshow where you can read the captions.
