I cruise flickr most every day. I have stuff there and I like to see what I post that may attract some attention. I hope people enjoy my photos. I have some flickr favorites, one of them is Katie West. Katie is a photographer and she often models for her own shots, an interesting challenge to set things up and get a good shot. In this case a photographer friend used her as a model. I like the B&W and Katie's open attitude.

The shadows and reflections of light on the chrome keep attracting my eye to this piece as an art form.

The texture of this glass piece was impressive. It made you want to pick it up and feel the fuzz of the peach skin.

I love her smile with the cap and gown.

I attended the Rhode Island School of Design graduation ceremony this year. The custom is for the graduates to add their personal touch to their caps and gowns. It made for a festive atmosphere.
