KODAK MOMENT of the Day

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!

This picture was taken in the old part of Sarajevo. I really liked her expression and her silly eyes. That's why I made the shot.

During her birthday party, Linda's friends decided to throw her in the water. I was amazed at the detail of the water splashes from the digital photo.

I love the surreal look of these flowers. I actually bought 3 of them just to take pictures of. I took this shot in my mini-studio in my basement. Mother nature sure creates wonderful things!

Taken at Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio. I kept thinking, "I wish people would get out of the way so I could take a good shot of the falls..." Then I looked beyond my own short-sightedness and saw what a nice interest this group of Amish ladies added to the scene. It's called "Seperate Ways" because of the split in the falls, the seperate culture of the Amish, and the one lady on the left looking away from the group.

This photo was taken inside our house, and is only some of of the stamps in my relatives stamp collection. Approximately 50 yrs old, the stamps remind me of our country's history.

This was from the Texas Sesquincentenial celebration. Taken at Corpus Christi Bay, on March 1986.

One of the many colorful characters seen during the 2005 Taos Fiesta Parade.

I enjoy nature photography and it's very rewarding to be able to come home from a shoot with photos of these beautiful monarchs.

I love the interplay of the tennis player's position, the ball's position, the shadow, the colors and the line. The picture was taken at the 2005 Mercedes-Benz Cup.

My Grandpa's old tractor, sitting in his barn. It looked quite imposing, lit from behind by sunlight seeping through the cracks in the walls.

A memorial to the World Trade Center, Patriot Day 2004. This picture was taken during a dinner cruise around the New York harbor for my mother's birthday.

A portrait of a little girl at her innocence best, with confidence in her little eyes. The picture was taken in a remote village in the Himalayas.

Stumbled across this little guy and his family of burrowing owls living in the parking lot of a strip shopping mall here in Davie, FL. Even though we are destroying their homes with constant building, nature finds a way to survive. They live right next to a pizza place and a bar. Amazing.

Two Photos, a self portrait of my eyes and a sunflower leaf with a couple holes eaten out. :) Both photos were taken in London, Ontario. This image has special meaning to me, as I first looked through the holes, then digitally replicated what it might have looked like. I also think the title broken down matches each photo, and is a nice pun on them combined. :)

I am an aspiring Photographer, who has a special interest in thoroughbred race horses. This image was taken on opening day, June 17, 2005 at Colonial Downs, New Kent, Virginia and captures the finish line of Race 2 that Day!

A dancer performing along the Riverwalk in San Antonio; shutter speed 1/30sec; tripod used; sunny day; no flash.

The start of the Ozone Surf Classic on Nantucket Island, MA.

This is a picture of our daughter at one of her soccer games. We were pleased that the camera captured her determination to keep the ball away from the opposing team. Go Lyssa!!

Water drops on nylon netting reflecting a gerbera daisy in the background. The water was placed on the netting with an eye dropper and took a while to get in place.

This picture was taken at a family BBQ during the summer of 2005 in New York, NY, USA. This photo is special to me because each time I look at it, it makes me think about all the things that make a great summertime BBQ, family, friends, good food & fun.

I took this picture at a roadside produce stand near my home in late July. It's special to me because when I see winter pears, I know Summer is almost over and Fall will soon be here. I loved the way the pears looked on the old, weathered wood shelf with the sun hitting them gently from the side. I could almost feel Fall in the air.

This is my daughter making a pouty face. Though she's not talking yet, I think her face speaks volumes on this shot.

I saw this family at the Washington, D.C. Zoo. Clearly the older baby is feeling the "jealous-of-the-new-baby syndrome." They made a nice trio, and their body language spoke to me.

Selling incense is a common sight at temples in Cambodia. It is used to lift prayers after the person leaves.

This picture is special to me because Oliver is the love of my life. It was taken outside of my home, as he was getting ready to go boating/fishing with his dad.

Picturesque collection of floats hanging on a rustic building. Taken in Forks, WA, June 2005 -- I like still life subjects and this fit into that area.

A picture perfect moment of my little cousin "Gracie".

My mother and I often go to the Blue Moon Gardens (in Chandler, Texas) to spend time together. This was the first water lily bloom of the summer.

This picture was taken in Trindad, Cuba.

At the hot air balloon festival in St. Jean sur Richelieu, Quebec I saw these balloons against the blue sky and recorded the moment.

Fun with marshmallows and 15 seconds of microwave heat. Warning: it's pretty hot even for that short a period of time -- and I had to work fast before it stiffened up. Surprisingly, it cleaned off really easily.

My daughter and three of her friends bought a Jack Russell puppy. Sounds like an episode of "Leave It to Beaver." So far, her quarter ownership has worked out well...Ward and June haven't had to intervene.

While driving to church on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, I saw this lemonade stand where a group of children, with their parents, were raising money for the victims of Katrina. I was very moved as this is the island that was so devastated by Hurricane Hugo in 1989. I stopped after church and contributed. They gave me a brownie and posed for a photograph. People helping people.

Looking at my fruit basket, I saw some colors which needed consideration!

This photo was taken in Kolar, India, in a village called Gangapura.
