    Cute As a Button

    Cute As a Button

    When Melissa met me at the coffee shop last weekend, she brought along her niece, Ali. So, I had two lovely women with me that day. While we were sitting outside at a table I noticed this childrens clothing store which was a converted house that had an unusual name, Cute As a Button. Ali was kind enough to let me take a photo of her under the sign. And, she is cute as a button!

    Assorted Coffee Cups

    Coffee Cups

    My friend, Melissa, met me at a coffee shop called Espresso Yourself Music Cafe. It’s an old church converted to a coffee house. On one wall were these shelves, leaning most profoundly to the right, and loaded with an assortment of cups. Had to take a photo before they fell.

    I Love Photography

    Black-eyed Susans

    Plain and simple. It has a grip on me. I want to work on creating images that move me and hopefully others, even if that’s only one other person. I find myself looking for images where ever I am: the grocery store, driving, walking, flying, and the list goes on. Everything has the potential to be a subject for me: the handle on a dresser, a lamp post, a sunrise or sunset, a rose, a portrait. They’re everywhere, all around us. It’s amazing how many times I have found myself going out the door of my apartment (or hotel room), camera over my shoulder, and not knowing where I’m headed. All I know is that somewhere in front of me is a photograph, one that I will enjoy in it’s creation. I love photography.
