KODAK MOMENT of the Day

Photographed in a Vietnamese hardware shop, this image of paint pigments had both beautiful light and colours.

This was my son's first visit to a friend's farm. The texture of the hay was the perfect backdrop for my photograph, as well as a great source of amusement for Pierce.

Lake Crescent is very beautiful and this was one of those beautiful moments! Taken May 18, 2003

This picture was taken at Buye Beach, in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. Here's a man making a honest living selling beach toys. Very colorfull, but his age in making him stall. Even with a very slow pace, he continues to sell his goods.

This picture is special to be because it was taken at one of the times when you're not suppose to get great shots -- and it was the last exposure on the roll. It was taken in Zilker Park, which is in Austin, Texas, while I was a student. I had chosen to shoot in various park/gardens that day, and to focus on just flower/plants, and not the large scenes in the park.

Here is a photograph of my grandson, taken on a playground at a local McDonald's. The photo was taken on June 27, 2003.

There is nothing better than spending a day sailing on the Chesapeake Bay!

An ice cold iced tea, on a hot summers day. Ahhh!

This picture was taken during our family vacation at Depoe Bay, Oregon in July 2002.

A favorite subject of mine, this was taken at Rye Playland in July 2003. I used a slow shutter speed and a tripod to capture the motion of the wheel.

In this picture, I managed to capture all 5 grandchildren together. Getting them all in one spot, and without posing, was great!

This photo shows a unique view looking straight up a construction sites caged ladder. The sharp lines and silhouette of the ladder contrast nicely with the vivid blue sky and clouds, invoking strong emotion from a typically uninteresting object.

It does not look like what it is... It's a picture of a Sunflower taken at night !

I am quite fond of this picture for two reasons. First, it reminds me of our vacation on Martha's Vineyard. And two, I like the contrast of the towels against the golden sand and blue sky. The people who owned these towels were kind enough to move for me so I could take this shot.

I enjoy the bemused look this seagull seemed to have when it looked into the water an saw "another" seagull staring back at it. I took the picture on the waterfront just outside my home, on the shores of Lake Macquarie in NSW. The seagull is one of the many and varied water birds on the lake that I wander by daily. I feel very fortunate to live in a beautiful location that provides me with opportunities to take photos of the birds "up close and personal'" in their natural environment.

I took this picture in Bombay, India, using Kodak Max 400 film. I scanned the print, and then manipulated the picture in Photoshop.

Remember the heros... September-11-2002.

This picture was taken in Turkey, near the city of Safranbullu, a 6 hour drive from Istanbul. It is special to me because of the powerfull simplicity and kindness reflected of this man's face. I took the picture with a Nikon f-100 and 24-85 Nikkor 2.8-4.0 macro lens.

This picture was taken in late June. It's a picture of Granite Creek with a nice peak in the background. Just looking at the picture takes me back there!

This picture captures the crazy and endless fun I have with my girlfriend, Anne. The picture was taken on the summit of Ring Mountain, in Marin County on Memorial Day 2003. It represents all three, in the one Picture of the Day catagory: two people, hopefully to be one family and we're best friends.

I love taking close-up pictures of animal's faces, so that you can really look into their eyes. Fortunately, my cats seem not to mind my doing this. Although he looks quite stern in this shot, this old guy was happy to pose, and is qute lovable.

This picture was taken looking down inside a dandelion gone to seed. I had the camera on white balance, thus the blue tint it took up. I found this beauty along a country roadside in Michigan.

This picture was taken at the Pioneer Farms, in Austin, Texas. It captures the subjects favorite thing, being a Cowboy!

There is a hole in the shed where I keep my car -- and when I get home, my Boxer comes to check that it is me. I always thought it would make a great pet photo. So, a few weeks ago I was ready for him with my camera!

I took this picture during my vacation at Grand Teton National Park, in May 2003 using a Kodak DX4330 Easyshare camera. This was my first visit to the park, and my first digital camera. For me, this picture captures a perfect day.

I spent the day with three African elephants, who stole my heart ... This photo was taken of them "heading to work."

I took my son Danial to the park nearby our house in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia in the morning with my camera along. I was playing 'hide and seek' with him while trying to shoot at the best angle. He actually likes to be photographed, perhaps he knows that his father is so fond of taking pictures, especially of him and his mother. I like this shot because of the spontaneity, and its frame which was made by a stone bench at the park.

Picturing the beautiful colors of Autumn in Ontario, Canada.

Hailie, born 3 months premature, is our family's newest addition -- and the first born of the 4th generation! Still only the size of a two month old, this picture was taken of her at 7 months.

This picture was taken during a rafting expedition in North-Karelia, Finland, July 2001. I used Kodak E100VS film and the dramatic sunset light, to draw carefully this present-day Karelian boat.

Have a fresh country apple!

Last fall, our mum was abuzz with bees. I spent ages watching and photographing them. I love the pollen all over this one.

Pictured here, traditional lanterns from Indonesia.

I love this photo! Not because I took the photo, but because of the deep red morning sky. I was on my way into a local restaurant when I saw the morning sky color developing. I quickly ran back to my car -- grabbed my trusty digital camera, and snapped away.

This picture was taken during a trip to Yellowstone Park this past August. It was one of the first pictures taken with my new camera!

This pensive picture was taken in Philadelphia's Chinatown.

Meet my Beagle "Echo". I took this in my living room using only natural light from a window.

Pictured here, the peaceful tranquility of Balloons over the Scandia Mountain Range. This picture was taken during a Balloon ride at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta -- an event that takes place each October. There is nothing quite like it!

Many of the florists have been selling Dahlias which have been dyed. The blue was particulary photogenic.

This picture was take on my first trip to Italy. Every time I see it I sense the wonderful smells of the Piaza Navona. The picture has a fifties look in black and white, but I wanted to keep the color of one of the birds. I hope you like it!

While working with these jacks, I noticed how their shadows formed the outline similar to a human frozen in motion.

At her big sister's 6th birthday party, 2 yr. old Darcey celebrated by blowing bubbles. She ended up wearing most of the bubbles, but didn't care a bit!

I took this photo in my neighbor's garden. Every year we look forward to the arrival of the Monarch Butterflys and the special "gifts" they give to us. A few days after they leave, we find several Monarch caterpillars enjoying the milkweed. A rite of passage. The photo was taken in Williams, OR, on Wednesday, July 23, 2003. If you're asking how it relates to the theme 'nature' its nature recreating itself, a beautiful process!

This picture was taken in Manila last August. The baby's name is Darius Lark, and he loves to hide behind the door. The picture is purely candid!

This is a picture of one of our heifers, who was waiting for the evening feeding. The picture was taken on our farm in Southern Illinois.

While most of the eastern U.S. shivered in a January cold wave, Key West enjoyed this beautiful sunset. The photo was taken with a digital camera.

I took this picture of a tall ship in San Francisco Bay then created the Sepia tone and added the fog.

This is a picture of early October, in China.

This is a picture of my four year old daughter. She was a miracle to me, as I was told I would never have children. She loves to have her picture taken, but this one shows her true sweetness and innocence. The picture was taken in June while she was sitting down reading. Children have such unique personalities, I feel this picture really captured hers.

This is a photo of my cousin's Old English Sheepdog pups. I had the best time taking their pictures -- and for 7 week old pups, they were very well behaved!

I took this picture in late October, 2002 in the area of Hocking Hills, Ohio.

Here is a picture of Angelina taken on a walk at a national park in Estonia - Kadriorg. She very much likes to feed birdies, and always takes along plenty of forage for them.

Rich in symbolism in many cultures and perfect in form, the humble egg has been a frequent subject in my art and photography. There always seems to be one more way to photograph them!

I took this picture for an assignment for my photographic course.

I love autumn colours. This year, the colour of leaves on trees began to change long before the temperature began to drop. I saw many red leaves while the temperature was still in the 80s, which is most unusual. The temperature on the day I took this picture was at least 80F.

Here's a picture of me and my Grandson taken during our 6th annual hunt trip to my camp in Buena Vista, Georgia. He became intrested in my cameras, and we "shot" sunsets. My Son took this picture with a Kodak DX4900 @ Max resolution and flash off.

I was living and traveling in Europe for seven months, and this is one of my favorite shots from the whole trip. It came out looking great! I now have a poster-size of it in my room.
