I liked the sense of motion in this shot and the color in the background.

It was my first live attendance at a rollerderby. The Carolina Rollergirls of Raleigh, NC and the Texicutioners of Austin, Tx. prepare for a jam.

Earth is a gem

Alot is said about treating our planet with better care. Last week's Sunday NY Times had a long article on the pollution problem in China. It was a rather disturbing article. Sometimes we treat earth like it's a piece of costume jewlery.

The heat of summer will leave at some point...as a reminder..the fall colors of North Carolina's St. John's Gorge is a reminder.

It was a warm but beautiful day in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Riding a ski lift to the ridge top I passed this carnival ride and the colors were so dramatic, it had to be captured. I wondered what inspired the artist to create this on a carnival ride.

Light and shadows

The brillance of the day had to be experienced. The patterns of light created by the clouds moving slowly held the viewers attention.

Sunrays

I was in Ireland almost one year ago this week. Driving in the Conemara area was one of the most beautiful drives I've made, even with learning to drive on the lefft side. The brilliance of the colors and light variations were striking.

Sparkling light

it was early spring, there was a crispness in the air in the early morning. Walking out onto the deck, surrounded by the bare branches of the trees at my eye level, the light on the droplets of water sparkled all around me. I enjoyed their beauty.

It's hot here, a typical August. Last fall the temperature was much cooler, so it's nice to be reminded of the coming season change.

Movement and light

Raleigh Bike Race 25 of 38, originally uploaded by Septguy.

Some 100 plus bikers were participating in the race. It was a warm early evening and the light was fading. The turns were quick and to the eye the individual bikers even started to blur together. The pack to the left seemed to be setting themselves up to dive into the turn to the right.

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.

Balancing act

It was a warm, sunny Sunday morning in Santa Monica. The warmth of the sun and the stillness of the day attracted me to the colors of the tableware right in front or me.
