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.

processed a ton of pictures...

from the last several weekends on the South shore of Long Island. ENJOY!
