Harold's Truck, August, 1990

Tmax 400. Nikon F4 with 50mm lens. Never really cared for T-Max when it came out... particularly when Kodak discontinued Panatomic X which I LOVED. My displeasure was the beginning of the end for Kodak.

Spring In The Gardens

Went to Kauffman Gardens for the first time this year on Saturday... what follows are shots of natures current attractions. Skip to the very end to see the reason I was working there. :)
All images taken with the D3 and 105mm macro lens (except the very last one which was the 70-200mm zoom) varying apertures and ASAs... all hand held.





















Miss Amber needed some shots for a pageant she's entered this June.... she was voted "Most Beautiful" out of 15 girls in her last pageant outing. She'll be a brand new graduate in just two weeks.

It's A M'racle

That's her name.... and she's already won a statewide pageant.... six and Miss Missouri... pretty cool..... she's a pretty sharp little girl too..... All pageant photo entries are in color... but I can still have fun with black and white otherwise. All taken in studio with the Nikon D3 and 105mm lens, F16 at 1/250th, ASA 200. Post processed in Photoshop.

God Was Doing Frank Gehry Before Frank Gehry Did Frank Gehry

The architect known for the Disney Theatre loves petals in metal..... and I like his work. But, it's been done before... organically. I posted a picture yesterday of a bud. That shot was taken early yesterday morning. Today it's a full fledged rose bloom with a tenant.
Talk about quick..... built in 1 1/2 days and new tenant right upon completion.
These were taken with the 105mm Micro Nikkor with and without the TC17E extender. The extender allows me to get the same magnification from further back thus allowing minimal intrusion on the critter. Tripod used in these shots.
