KODAK MOMENT of the Day

We had just moved into our new home, and saw this. There was plenty of 'gold' foliage at the end of this rainbow!

My son fell asleep on my bed. He looked so peaceful I had to the capture the pose with him holding his blanket. Times like these are so precious, I treasure them!

I took this picture while visiting Brigus, Newfoundland this past July for the annual Brigus Blueberry Festival. I have a facination with lighthouses, and the sky was just amazing the day that I took this picture.

This is the front view of the Leslie Hotel, an Art Deco masterpiece built in 1937 in Miami's South Beach. The cantilevered sunshades over the windows are a feature called "eyebrows" and are a distinctive Art Deco feature that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. This shot was taken just before dawn. I was thrilled with the exposure as the lighting and the colors bring out the details of the facade.

This is my son Bernardo, waiting to be baptized this past September. At 1 year and 4 months old, he was tired of waiting -- and was longing to play with the birds in front of the church.

A photograph of a rose called "Timeless".

Shhh . . . do not interrupt! My baby is taking a bath in a tiny sink. : )

Although we ran into this by pure luck, this truly was an amazing site to see! We were on our way back from a trip to Yosemite National Park, when we saw this amazing display of nature--fog--and sunset. We just had to pull over and take in the view!

I took this picture in the Texas Hill Country with my digital camera. The sun was setting just behind the windmill and created a wonderful silhouette.

A friend and I were on a trip to northern Montana when we came across this scene. There was a solid cobalt blue sky that day, and when I saw the image after it was developed, it just didn't seem to go with the rest of the image. So . . . I replaced it with one from my file which I felt was a better fit than the original. My friend has since been confined to his home, and when I view the image now, I am reminded of happier times.

This place is near the hospital where I work, in Messolongi, Greece. I took the picture, the Church of Holy Trinity, one afternoon in early May.

Of all images I have captured, this one means the most to me. My beautiful Nana suffered a stroke this year, and even trial after trial, she never once has lost her wit. This entire ordeal has had a bright side, which I am positive she knows of. My father and I have grown closer making the trips together to see her -- finding how we fit into each other's lives, sharing our fears, and putting words to the love we have both always felt. Together with Nana, my family shares a love of laughing, making others laugh, and determination. While my children will never know Nana as I do, I hope to shine on them as warm as she glows in my heart.

As it sat on a table in the sun -- in a fun pumpkin patch in Temperance, MI -- I loved the shiny reflections that this piece of Indian corn gave!

This picture was taken in our front yard -- and every time I look at it, it makes my heart melt. It's the sweet expression on Kyle's face, mixed with the hat and the whole ensemble.

I love my dog called 'Smart' . He is so fine and gentle, and musical too! I like the way he looks in this picture, and wanted to share it with others.

A closeup of my favorite subject, my three year old granddaughter. This picture was taken in my backyard in Sacramento, CA.

This photo was taken in Pebble Beach, CA. The setting sun created the perfect backdrop for capturing a ghosted image of the tree.

I took this in my hometown on a bright fall day. I liked the colors of the leaves against the bright blue sky and background -- but what really attracted me to the shot, was the shadows on the leaves.

This picture was taken early in the morning in Phu Quoc Island, South Vietnam. Morning is the time when people carry to the market by scooter. I used Kodak Max.

This was taken this past summer after a light summer rain.

I wanted to create a contrast between two materials, steel and rocks. The image was taken in macro mode with a Kodak DX6490.

I took this picture on my way to town. We live 4 miles from town and the first mile is beside the river. If I take my camera with me, sometimes that mile takes me an hour.

This is a double exposure of a full moon over Colorado Springs.

This is a picture of 2 flower girls dancing at a wedding reception. I was pleased to have captured their motion and joy.

This picture was taken in Sagres - Portugal.

A picture I took at a wedding. I like take wedding photos!

I took this picture while I was trying to learn how to use my new camera.

My first car was a 1950 Ford. I took this shot at a car show and . . . it's still my dream car!

A visit to a children's petting zoo offered many photo ops, the best of which was this adorable duo - photogenic matching goats! I decided this worm's-eye-view would give the image the near symmetrical composition I wanted.

After our first snowfall in Conneticut last winter, I set out in my 4X4 in search of a scene that would reflect the beauty and magic of the season. I was fortunate to find this scene...trees heavy laden with snow and geese on this unfrozen pond.

Last year at Christmas, my wife's father and sister made a set of carolers for each family that came for Christmas. They made a nice grouping!

This picture was taken at my vacation to Croatia this summer with my family. The location was Split, the old town. I notice this motive and it was very interesting to me.

A "macro" shot of our holiday poinsettia. Tis the season.

This was taken one evening on Broad Street, in Red Bank, New Jersey. Red Bank is a cool place to go walking at night, there's always a lot going on. I used my favorite B&W film, Kodak T400CN, in a Nikon FM camera with a 24mm f/2.8 Nikkor lens.

This is a picture of my wife taken in California. We had a lot of fun taking it to see if we could get the sun in just the right location to make it appear she is catching it.

I don't know why, but just at freeze up this little swamp area turned an incredible blue. Glad I had my camera along.

This is one of my favorite images. It's a shot of the San Pedro Coast in Southern California -- with catalina island in the background. I like how the 4 sec. exposure turned the water into a mist.

While working in the Paro Valley in the Kingdom of Bhutan, I was documenting a monastery that is also used as a school for young monks. Having always been fascinated by the history that one can see in old, worn Asian walls, I was admiring the age and wisdom of a particular wall when a young student passed by. Not realizing that he even saw me, he looked up right when I took this photograph. Not only did he look up at the perfect time allowing for me to capture this image between the white lines, but he also portrayed a confidence and young wisdom that is often rendered by the Bhutanese people.

These candles are part of an Advent Wreath. We love to celebrate Jesus Birthday! So simple, yet mysterious.

This little miracle is my son. He is seeing the miracle of Christmas through the eyes of a child. I took this one night in our home after putting up our Christmas tree. "It's Christmas!"

This picture has been taken in September 2003. It is special to me because I took it with my first digital camera.

I shot this photo at Dubrovnik, Croatia, using a Nikon N-70 with a 35-80 mm Nikor lens.

The county fair...the lights, the excitement, the waffle cones and the elephant ears--all make a this nighttime excursion worth the price of admission.

This was taken at our cottage in Northern Ontario. It was my daughter's 6th birthday and she was enjoying her new Window Writer markers. The sunlight shone in through the window, illuminating her. This photo really caught her creative character and grace.

This was taken in Rocky Mountain National Park at Big Thompson River, about a week after Colorado received the snowstorm of the century. Part of the park actually received about one hundred inches of snow from that storm.

My daughter with a little bit of her young age attitude. I couldn't resist that look on her face. The eyes were staring straight into me through the lens.

This photo was my first attempt to take a night time exposure. I took the photo underneath the Brooklyn Bridge inorder to include the night skyline of New York City with the lights reflecting in the water.The photo was taken in honor of the Bridge's 100th birthday in August 1981. The actual time of day was 7:45 p.m., and I used a 5 second time exposure.

After the major snowstorm we had this weekend, I thought this would be a great shot! enJOY!

This photo was taken during a ski trip in the Laurentides park region, located north of Quebec City. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Forêt Montmorency Cette photo a été prise lors d'une randonnée de ski de fond dans le parc des laurentides au nord de la ville de québec.

It was the first snow of the year here in Westchester County, and our 5 year old Samoyed - named "Natasha Snow" - was definitely in her element! This photo was taken on our property in Cortlandt Manor, NY.

This picture is special to because it's of my grandson :-) It was taken on a crisp fall day in November in the back yard on a tire swing. I think the picture shows a childs freedom, and how we wish we could all go back to that time of swinging on a tire. It flys by.

This photo was taken in my local village in England one foggy night. The fog really lent itself to some great shots throughout the village.

This is my youngest Riley, playing in the wintery weather. He loved the first snow of the season.

I have always loved infra red pictures and this picture was taken in my backyard using my infra red on my camera and a filter. Once I was told it would become "old hat" -- but, I am still waiting :-) Settings: SS: 1/60, Aperture: 2.0, Program: NIGHT SHOT, Hand held. UNcropped

My daughter in the yellow dress is playing the role of Clara in the Nutcracker ballet. I took the picture at the dress rehearsal where I could freely move around the theater with my camera. I think it's a wonderful, joyous picture.

My cat, Mr.I, was a model for a photo project I did a few months ago. He quickly lost interest in the camera and fell asleep -- this is when I took my best picture of him. He is my special companion, and is loved by everyone I know. =^..^=

I took this picture in Santa Fe, New Mexico. What character.

I loved the color of this Dahlia (Karma Sangria) when I saw it at a nursery recently. It seems to glow from within. I think flowers relate quite well to "Nature" around us.
