KODAK MOMENT of the Day

This picture was taken in Tampa, Florida, in January '05. I think it captures the essence of the beach my parents remember. Cars cruising by...

This is a picture of a very special little girl in my life. As you can see she is always eager to give those special little gifts that as priceless.

These cows were just waiting to get their picture taken, it seemed like they were posing. So I had to take their picture. The photo was taken on a farm in upstate NY. (Monticello). I thought these cows were special because they kept following me around, till I finally took their picture.

My handsome little nephew, Jacob.

This little Joaninha (ladybug) caught my attention as I was setting up to shoot lilies.

Chicago does many things to make downtown attractive in the winter. Weekly fireworks is one of them. My family spends a weekend downtown every January or February and it is always a special time. The photo was taken by the Chicago River near Michigan Avenue. The Wrigley Building is in the background.

I couldn't resist his cute eyes and wild hair.

I saw this giant flag flying high in a California bank parking lot and was inspired to take this close up shot of it. I'm in the military and everytime I see a flag I think of all of my fallen comrades.

This picture was from the very first set of pictures I took with my new camera. It was taken at the grand opening of the Radisson Hotel in Morgantown, West Virginia.

No flash, a tiny bit of cropping, and behold a picture that looks like an old master oil painting. The picture was taken at a spring dance recital in Buffalo, NY.

This picture was taken in my garden. These innocent little creatures always brighten my day when I find them among the blooms.

I took this shot during my niece's baby shower. She had just finished opening the gifts when the water display started. We are facing the NYC sky line from New Jersey.

This photo was taken in Seminyak Beach - Bali, Indonesia, in December 2004. I was walking on the beach when I saw these local boys playing football on the beach with sunset as the background. Lovely times!

I just love the look on this little guys face, and how focused he is on the ball. Taken in Memphis, TN.

A picture of my dog. I found him in a pet shelter in Huntington Beach, CA 6 years ago. He's now living with me in the Czech Rep.

This was taken at Van Dusen Gardens in Vancouver during the summer time. There were quite a few frogs out and about sunning on the rocks. The pond was the best part of the day!

This was taken in Edinburgh whilst on holiday, and was one of the many street performers in Edinburgh entertaining visitors. I particuarly liked the way he was made up, and thorougly enjoyed his act.

I took this picture on the way home from a trip to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. I had wanted a shot of the Body Head Lighthouse earlier in the day, but was happy to have stumbled upon it at night. The shot was taken in April, 2004.

I spotted this image of some copper tins at an antique dealership - and felt that it was a simple, colorful, and an interesting composition.

I caught this old man sitting in solitude and literally 'watching the world whiz by' the Jaffa Gate, Old City, Jerusalem. (I'm sure he would love to watch N.Y. traffic whizzing by too ... :-)

This bear was in our yard this morning at 8AM. Seems he was as curious about us as we were about him ;>) Just another day in Minden, central Ontario.

This picture is of my oldest child. She looked so pretty in green. Pink is her favorite color, but green just brought out her beautiful eyes. This image made me think of "pretty in pink" but here she is "pretty in green."

This picture was taken in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, in Feria Mundial La Grande -- a mobile amusement park. It was a very pleasant afternoon of joy with my family.

Took this photograph of a father and his sons, skipping stones on the water at sunset in Fish Creek, Wisconsin.

This picture was taken in June while visiting Shogran in Pakistan. We were actually in a meadow about 7,000 ft above sea level with an amazing view of the surrounding peaks. This picture just reminds me of wanting to do nothing but gaze at the incredible beauty around us.

This picture was taken during the Queen's Annual Birthday Parade.

My 7-year-old was fascinated by the new bubble kit given to her by her grandparents as a gift.

This picture was taken on a trip to Millenium Park in downtown Chicago. The skyline is beautifully detailed in the reflection.

A self portrait.

Street artist in Singapore, shot the weekend of May 21, 2005. He was "performing" in one of the city's underpasses, with passerbys largely ignoring what he was doing.

Selective desaturation of all colors but yellow. I did some spot editting to clean up some ugly power lines at the top of the frame - and I cleaned up excess noise using NeatImage.

Taken in my home in Ottawa, Canada -- June 2005. Smokie is a very friendly pet, but takes on a special air of authority when wearing glasses. As Robert De Niro said "You talkin' to me?".

This is my daughter at her 6th birthday party. She had a pool party, and this photo truly illustrated the mood of the celebraion...big, bright, happy and FUN! Happy Birthday Karrington!

I was just about to go out to take some photos of the sun setting over the city when the rain clouds rolled in. Rather than let rain riun my outing, I decided to try to capture the storm instead. This photo is the end result

This picture was taken at our local Memorial Day parade.

I love to take pictures that show reflections. This picture was taken at the Saint Augustine, FL light house last spring. I feel it is an artistic picture.

The great big beautiful red sky near Raymond, California.

These are my 4 year old identical twin boys doing what they do best.

This is my Rooster. He believes he is the master of my yard, and no one is allowed in the yard if he is around ... except the Hens of course.

I took this picture on Father's Day, it was the last game of the season. Our team (red) had not one won game this year. Early in the game the other team (blue) was given a FREE direct kick on our goalie. He did not score! His failure to score must have boost our team's spirits because we won! The boys enjoyed this humorous "catch" from the days event!

I was taking pictures of daisies in our neighbors yard and was wondering how it would look if I shot it from the ground up, from an insects point of view. I love the blue sky as a background for the white pedals of the daisies. This is one way of getting close to nature and see how it looks from her side.

The picture represents a photographer at work. He is using film, which is not popular in our digital world of today.

Enjoying nature - Lake Apavatn, in Iceland.

Berries in all stages of growth, shot in my garden yesterday!

My little daughter with our German shepard in the garden.

A ticket used to go to San Francisco on the Caltrain.

My son Nicholas cheering on his team.

I couldn't believe how close I got! This was taken at Park Safari in Hemmingford, Quebec. They have a new lion enclosure, and the lion was less than 3 feet away. I shot it thorough a chainlink fence. I love getting up close and personal!

This picture was taken from the inside of a Catameran looking out the escape hatch. This was taken while sailing the Ionian Islands on Vacation in Greece.

Taken on my second wedding anniversary - The 12 Apostles, Port Campbell, Australia

My daughter had her play friend over and they wanted me to take pictures for them. How can I resist. I love the natural smile of a child, especially my child :)

This picture was taken on a news assignment while we were doing an ecological story. In the evening, this picture just appeared -- and with the beauty and the splendour of the Taj behind, sudenly the Taj looked ethereal.This picture was taken at Agra, India.

This picture was taken in Benin, West Africa -- as a village child smiles shyly at the camera. All my images were captured with a digital camera.

I took a picture of reflections of Philadelphia's City Hall on another building. The distorted reflections reminded me of surrealism. I took another image of a banner for the Salvador Dali Exhibit, changed the side of the building and added the banner image.

I like this picture because it is creative...

This is my 11 year old son. He got his first sponsor this year in skateboarding from West 49. He is so pumped and works so hard to improve!
