Lanterns

Yellow and red lanterns against the blue of a building at the Kek Lok Si temple in Penang, Malaysia.

I was in Malaysia last year on a business trip. Luckily I had the opportunity to do some sight seeing and my co-worker Lai was good enough to take me around.

The architecture and colors of this Buddhist temple are amazing. I would love to return and see the place when all the lanterns are light.

Blue Monday: Bluebird of Serendipity

A couple of weeks ago, I took a trip up to Castlewood Canyon state park to photograph some of the birds that live there. The park has lots of trails that wind through a couple of important habitats. As soon as I got to the park, I saw this dead tree looming of over the parking lot. I took a few shots of the tree for a few different angles. While I was shooting, this Bluebird (I believe that it is a Mountain Bluebird) flew up and started singing...

Happy Blue Monday!

Blue Monday: Abstract

This is my first post for Blue Monday. This abstract shot is of a very concrete (pun intended) object - the Folsom American River Bridge. While I was living near Folsom, CA last year, this bridge was the subject of intense photographic study. I had just obtained a near new DSLR. To learn the camera I decided to study this bridge from as many positions, lighting conditions and weather as possible. Taking on such a study is a great way to not only learn the camera, but also to learn to "see" differently and grease the creative wheels.

Happy Blue Monday!
