Another from my visit Sanibel Island...

I have some really good photographs from the trip. This one however I just can't stop looking at. Technically it's a mess. But something about the blurred bird in the foreground and our in-focus friend in the background just works. It gives the image a depth and some personality...or perhaps life and a bit of wonder about the little guy in the background swooping in. Something that a technically superior shot of two birds wouldn't convey.

This is why I love photography...the occasional surprises and discovery of how a subject and situation can evolve into an amazing image.

Elation & Excitement

I finally managed to upload my bank of photos from the trip to Florida and holy frijoles! I managed to get some fantastic photos that will only require some horizon adjustment. Several of which I will take directly to print in large format for that empty space over my loveseat in the living room. Here's one of the mediocre snaps.

Some photos...

...from Sanibel island...rather unremarkable. I'm using my work PC and the colors are way off and I can't do any decent post processing. More at my Facebook page.

Holy Crap...Sanibel Island is boring!

I feel like I've died and I'm stuck in a doctor's office waiting room with nothing but old people.

Yes the weather is great.

Yes the beach is really nice.

And yes, the shells on the beach are spectacular (which is why I came here).

But the place is dead, dead ,dead!

Hoping to find life tomorrow...going to rent a Kayak and snap photos in the mangroves.
