KODAK MOMENT of the Day

I shot this photo through my kitchen window as my Westies were playing outside in the snow.

This picture is made from three photos. The sunrise is taken in Frederikssund, DK - and the animals in Knuthenborg Safaripark, DK.

Mary's Little Lamb wasn't sneaky enough! Taken August 2006, Kingsville, Ohio.

It's amazing how close you can actually get to some insects!Picture taken in Co. Kerry, Ireland. June 2007.

This is a 30 second exposure, taken on one of the main thoroughfares, in my home town of Rock Hill, South Carolina, USA.

Taken at Wesselman's Woods Nature Preserve, in Evansville, IN. July 2007.

This was taken at a local county festival. I love the lights of the rides and the vendors - it's kind of like Vegas gone country. I chose the "events" category because festivals like these only happen during certain period of the year!

This is my 5 year old son Tommy; enjoying the Summer time.

The picture is taken in my garden in August 2007. I think this picture illustrates this year's summer weather in Denmark very well. Only a few days with warm and sunshine, but always with further outlook to rain.

This is a picture of my daughter leaving for school in the morning. I love how she had her arms outspread like she was flying.

Somtimes, it's the simple things in life

I capture the best moments at the beach. This one was taken at sunset at Kimmel Beach, in NW Indiana.

This is a special shot of grandpa and grandson taken one afternoon. This little fellow was cutting his first teeth and wouldn't go to his mother or me, but crawled up to grandpa. No sooner had grandpa picked him up, he feel asleep on his chest. Total contentment for both.

At first meeting these two hit it off. Complete trust and love, it was quite amazing.

On my very first trip to New York City, I brought along my brand new high zoom Kodak Z740 digital camera. I took this shot of the Statue of Liberty & it came out crystal clear. Isn't she beautiful up close!

My little girl at 5 days old, safe in daddy's arms.

This was a still life I took because the lighting was so nice in my window on this day. I love the way the light was hitting the fruit.

Pictured here, a tribal woman of Thailand. Taken in North Thailand, in 2005.

My eye was caught by the backlight on the umbrella.

An unusual photo of a dandelion. Placed the camera on the ground beside it and clicked the shutter looking strait up against the blue sky. Photo taken August 2007 near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

I'm fascinated with flamingos, and when we are in Florida, I take tons of shots of them. I really like the way this one turned out, he is peeking at me.

My son and I are so close, that even though we're two, we are bonded together.

I live close to Yellowstone and frequently photograph this subject. On this day (7/31/07) I was showing friends around and had no intention of taking anything but snapshots. However...conditions were pretty good that day. Sometimes you just get lucky!

Fall tree in a very historic cemetery that I visit often.

This is my little girl pondering the life of a three year old...such as which teddy bear should I snuggle with tonight, should I have regular milk or chocolate, pigtails or braids, peanut butter and jelly or grilled cheese...and so on and so on! :) You know deep thinking life questions!

I like old boats and reflections. This photo was taken at the Saint Augustine, Florida lighthouse last April. Saint Augustine is a big vacation area.

In Memory 9/23/07: Receiving word that a photo will be featured at Kodak is a happy occasion, although news that this photo would be featured evoked some initial anxiety. The gentleman being shaved by his son, is a dear friend named Bruce. He fought in the D-Day invasion during WW II as a young man, and lived his life to its fullest for the next six decades. The reason for my reservation was that the day I received the POTD news, I also received word that Bruce had just passed away. My first thoughts were of Bruce's family, and their thoughts regarding having his image appear as POTD. We decided that being the fun loving, young at heart, character that Bruce was, he'd probably relish getting a special "good-bye" at Times Square. So, this one's for Bruce .... if you'd known him, you'd have loved him too!

This picture was taken in March 2007 in Minden Ontario. Just a few dogs just playing around!

This is my beautiful silly sister. She brings laughter to many.

A Montana sunset with a windmill silhouette.

This picture is of my neice who has had a hard time during the six years of her life. I took this picture when she was four so that she would know that someone thought she was a princess and loved her very much.

Nothing is better than salad of your home-grown tomatoes! Photographed July, 2007.

This picture of my daughter always so serious. Mature beyond her years! I love the soulfulness of her eyes.

These bubbles along the stem of this leaf, underwater in our creek, were an interesting find. Taken November 2006, Kingsville, OH.

I asked the kids at the local skatepark if I could shoot them, and they really put on a show! This was taken August 2007 at The Cage, Conneaut, OH.

My husband and I woke up early enough to get ready and drive to Lancaster, CA by 6:00 a.m. to watch the hot air balloons get filled and launched. I've always wanted a chance to see hot air balloons in person. Watching the people at work (play), hearing the special new sounds and seeing the HUGE colorful ballons . . . I was certainly not disappointed!

This photo was taken at our local elemetary school. Our town was suffering through a heatwave and drought at the time, yet these magnificant sunflowers that lined the parking lot leading to the school were standing tall and proud to welcome the children back to school.

Taken at the Zoo Park in Budapest, Hungary.

I took this picture just after I finished work - around 11 PM. The location is Harbor Island, San Diego, CA. I like it because it is so dramatic, and shows the beauty of my city.

This was taken in my photo course while developing B&W pictures. I love it, and hope you`ll like it too :)

This is our little lake in our backyard. In the Fall and Spring at sunrise, I have the opportunity to see scenes like this. I took this in April 2007 while leaving for work, literally stopped my truck in the middle of the road and grabbed my camera. I took about 8 shots. When I started shooting these two Canadian Geese joined the scene, and I kept saying to myself, "please don't swim too fast...slow down, good, etc." Timing is everything...

I loved how the stage lighting created a Rembrandt effect. The gentleman is a member of a group of musicians and singers called "Everyday People."

This picture was taken in August 2007 in Canton, Ohio, while at a farmers market with my wife.

The aspens are turning in Colorado, so I made a trip up to see them. They're one of my favorite things about living here.

The air was so still for the afternoon launch at the 25th Annual QuickChek Balloon Festival in New Jersey that the ballons stayed very close to the launch site. This made for terrific photo opportunities.

This photo was taken to show a leaf with water on it, in high detail.

This is my friend Jeremy's first child, Tucker. Welcome to the world, Tucker!

We hadn't had rain in Oklahoma for months. It had been so dry and was finally going to rain. I decided to take this shot, just in case it would be another 3 months. Didn't want to forget what it looked like!!

This picture shows the amazing and interesting culture of India and depicts India's many photogenic people. Taken in Pushkar, India, 2006.

Two of my pugs enjoying the outdoor hot tub in Alaska. We DO have summer here.

I was on vacation in Rome and the man in this photo looked out of his hotel window right as I snapped this picture. I was in such awe of the piazza I was in, I didn't even notice the man in the picture until I got home and printed my photos!

In the country along the backroads is this barn. I love the way the road winds just a bit. I added the cat for a fun twist and desaturated most of the colors but the yellows and a bit of the green. Taken in: Moscow, PA

I love this picture because this is exactly how it looked to me when I was taking it. It is my daughter holding a wheel barrow in the garage.

This is a rare white Bengal Tiger who likes to swim at a park in Oakland, CA.

I took this picture for a photography challenge. The challenge was a self portrait. I just took some dirt from the backyard, mixed water with it, and smeared it all over my face. The picture is special to me because it is the first image that I had printed and framed. My parents have it in their house.
