KODAK MOMENT of the Day

Radical motion blur added to give the capture a feeling of movement. Roller skate dancer in Philadelphia, PA.

Taken at Sarawak Cultural Village, Borneo.

These two fawns stopped to stare at me in the early morning fog.

I wanted to capture the contrast between the stars, sky and chapel. This was taken at midnight on New Years Eve in Vadheim, Norway.

Close-up capture of a colorful sunflower.

While traveling in the village near Pushkar in Rajasthan, India, I saw three boys standing on a small hill and two bulls as well as a bullockat was at lower place. I captured this frame against light to get silhouette. It was shot in March 2008.

Shot this bowl of blueberries against polka-dotted placemats to emphasize the shapes and colors.

David with his first born son- I just love the bond they already share :)

These 2 chihuahua sisters each weigh only 2 pounds and are the cutest puppies I have seen.

It's dreamy and so quiet,every time I see this picture I think of a fairy-tale

Well it took quite a while and much friendly persuasion to get this group of meerkats to pose for a family snapshot. Afterward they all agreed it was worth the time and effort!(smiling).

I just love sweet corn. I took this at home before I cooked it because it looked so good.

I discovered these wild turkeys showing off for the ladies while visiting a local nature preserve.

I love the texture of the clock in black and white. I took this picture when walking around 42nd street. The building is nice but I think the clock is an important feature.

I was hanging around with my camera when I saw these shoes... I started to think about me and my girlfriend; and about dreams of having a child.

A homage to a beverage that has gotten me through many a day.

This is my grandson as he was getting ready to graduate from high school, and enlisted in the Coast Guard. This is just a reminder of of how fast he has grown-up.

It was our one year wedding anniversary and we spent it in Europe. This picture is taken in Brugge, Belgium in November 2008. Brugge met us with this magical foggy scenery.

On a cold gray day (25 below 0) our creator left this beauty on my kitchen window. Every masterpiece needs an artist. This creation shows me proof of a heavenly artist.

There's an incredibly sad story associated with this little car. Despite that, it remains a jolly symbol of daydreams of the wind in your hair and a smile on your face.

The morning after this snowfall, the air was very still and very cold, the snow stayed on the branches as the sky cleared to bright blue. These branches are 20 feet up covered in snow, this lasted for a short while the wind blew all of the snow off the trees in about an hour. I like the abstract feel of this.

Editor's Announcement: Congratulations to Dawn Sanders, KODAK Gallery's "Kodak Moment" Winner for November.
Photo Story: Last Christmas was the first Christmas my son was able to really help decorate the tree. i snapped this Kodak Moment as he was beginning to hang an ornament! One more reason to love the Christmas season.

This is a close-up of the Pakistan Monument situated on top of a hill in Islamabad. The monument is constructed with stone/marble designs.

This was taken at the Pittsburgh Zoo in the tunnel that goes under the polar bear pool. It was the first time I'd ever seen one swimming! Taken May 2009.

Compressor wheel of the turbo blower. Beauty in machines.

My daughter Meg and our new dog Bella. We rescued Bella from a local animal shelter. She is still very timid and scared.

One hungry Tiger going for a chunk of meat. Taken 7/08 in Vallejo, CA.

These tourists were braving the wind and near zero degree temps to experience the unrivaled beauty of Niagara Falls State Park in winter.

This was taken at the first game of his first tackle football season. He was serious and scared. And he scored the winning touch-down that game. So I cherish this photo...as in all photos, its the memory of THAT day.

My niece, Mel :) I love her calm expression here and the way the light from the window casts shadows on her.

The picture is taken February 2006.

On 2-6-09, my daughter and I walked out onto frozen Lake Erie at Conneaut, OH, to talk to the ice fishermen. The next day, the weather warmed and the ice broke off at the western side of the lake, stranding about a hundred ice fishermen.

Grandfather Mountain, NC. Beautiful fall day with a taste of winter.

A wonderful display of Christmas decorations at Homestead Gardens in Davidsonville, Maryland.

Traditional toy keeping watch until Christmas.

I captured these bare winter trees covered in snow and then simplified them with some digital magic.

This is my little girl, Laurcy Belle, dancing with Santa. Such a "magical" experience!

Every year I go to the same place for my Christmas flowers; they always have so many to pick from.

I took this picture in my home on a cold wintery night. I love everything about the Christmas holidays, and wish peace on earth for everyone.

A merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to All!

December visit!

Editor's Note: Enjoy today's International Picture of the Day selection!

A full bloom Dahlia in all its majestic galore.

I took this during a recent trip to NYC to see the decorations in Rockefeller Center.

I took this picture last year and was told that it looks like silly string!

Winter scene from Nature Park Zumberak, Croatia.

I saw the people in traditional colorful dress with a happy mood in golden hour in the morning. I liked the background with camels. It was captured in a village near Pushkar, Rajasthan, India.

Photo taken at Nature Reserve in Israel.

I love to take photos in fog or mist. I applied the Orton Technique and added a sepia tone to this shot.

I took this photo because I was captivated by the elements of design. I love the shapes and play of light and shadow here.

I took this picture in Tunisia-Sahara, near the old market town of Tataouine.

Just some chess pieces nicely lit.

A candid shot of a friend of my daughter. I really like her hidden smile, which gives a mystical expression.

Winter in Northern Michigan can be harsh with lots of snow, cold and wind. In the woodland of our farm the trees cast undulating shadows across the creek bed. The sun make the fresh snow sparkle like diamonds.
