Missed it

Hey, I just realized I skipped some questions yesterday, so I'm fixing them.

THREE WAYS TO DESCRIBE MY PERSONALITY
1. Laid back
2. Driven
3. um...Caring

1. Sometimes I'm too quiet
2. impatient
3. I have a hard time taking things seriously

THREE THINGS I LIKE ABOUT MY BODY
1. my hair
2. my size
3. my hands

THREE THINGS I DON'T LIKE ABOUT MY BODY
1. my head (it keeps me from doing things)
2.
3.
(I'm pretty confident with who I am. I don't think talking myself down about my appearance is really all that productive)

Keeping Up On Photos

The haze is killing me! But this fluke turned out okay. The rainbow is pretty cool

Seriously, this haze sucks

This is one (and the next) is a bit of an eyesore. There is a really small depth of field right in the middle.

This one also has a smaller dept of field. The city is in focus, which is what I was aiming for

Sun reflecting off lakes is one of my favorite things. They remind me of Nathan

I'm probably behind, but here are a few photos anyway.

January 2 photo

I liked both of these, so voila! Yes, they are both snapshots. =)

January 1 photo

So here's starting my goal. 1/365 of my photos. =)

Tabernacle Tragedy

Notice the boy on the right...he moves so quickly the lens couldn't capture him clearly. =)

this is from the parking garage uppermost level. I didn't crop it on purpose. I like the random tower in the image there...

I'm really proud of this one. I love the feel of it.

This would have been so much cooler if the flag had been billowing!

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but every police blockade and tape line was upside down...

I call this "ladder to Heaven"

I wish I hadn't been so cold. I could have gotten cooler pictures of the icicles

No my night pictures are blurry. I was cold, and I forgot to change my ISO...

I like this one, even though it could have been better

It was a totally different site at night

The flames picked up again, and the smoke got higher

I would frame this and hang it on my wall...

I think this is the exact same picture as the last one. I just want you to fully appreciate it

My night ones are pretty messed up. Oh well, you live and learn

My first epic HDR! Some of the are HDR, but this one is my amazingly epic one. It's an artistic choice, It's not meant to look realistic

This one is also at the top, but it's an HDR. My first ever HDR.

Not an HDR, just a cool picture

I hope these people don't mind me showing off their backs to the world. 

I didn't take the pictures to document, I took them mostly for my own benefit. I took them as practice, and because I thought "Hey, Why not take pictures of this once in a life time event?" I showed up and guess who else was there? REESE! That was awesome, he taught me a lot of neat tricks, like HDR. Now I have a new trick to play around with.

Comment and critique, don't you dare just say "nice pictures" because that's not a (good) comment or a critique.

Washed Away

Washed away
and pushed downstream
So many thoughts and feelings
gone forever...

Caught in a net
of loss and pain
Tangled hearts and hands
grasping for each other...

The Edge

Standing on the
edge
Watching the world
crash
Silver mixed with red and
blue
Absorbed into the nothingness of
space
empty,
     desolate
          black
               whole.



*"Whole" is meant to be that way. not a typo
