KODAK MOMENT of the Day

The play of the lighting on the tree combined with the full moon are very compelling.

I captured this action during a camel race competition at the Desert Festival, Jasalmer, Rajastrhan, India on 9.2.09.

My son was quietly sitting at the table drawing with his new markers and I asked him what he was drawing. "Just an eagle," he said. It was a moment that just had to be captured.

This is the closest representation of what I actually saw! This is a color photograph, but the January fog zapped most of the color from what the eye sees. Taken in January, 2009, Barksdale AFB, Shreveport, LA. For me, this is nature at it's most mysterious and beautiful state.

A collaborative effort - I took this image when in Zimbabwe while working on a project with lions. My daughter, Janine Kain, edited the photo to create this wonderful silhouette.

This was taken from my holiday apartment balcony on a rainy day in London. I originally composed the shot and waited for a colorful umbrella to finish it.

This was shot at Manna, around 25kms from Badrinath. This is the border of India and China.

After a day of hiking on the mountain we were treated to a spectacular display of lightning. And a challange for me to get a decent photo of the cloud. It was taken from top of Mt. Nebo in north west Arkansas. The storm was close to Lake Dardanelle. Equipment: Kodachrome 64 slide film. Minolta 201, 50mm lens, rubberband, button and a small stick. This is an awesome display of nature's power in just one thunder storm.

I took this picture while vacationing in Bodrum, Turkey. I love traveling to different countries because you meet so many interesting people - like this friendly old man.

My English cocker spaniel dog Harvey hates to take his monthly bath, you can see that from his eyes...it's hard being beautiful!

A special photo because my son is enjoying the weather. We took it in front of our house during winter break. The theme was winter break fun.

I took that picture in a wool shop as my wife was looking for different balls of wool. Place: Osnabrueck, Germany.

Taken on the morning of February 27, 2010 at Durand Eastman Park in Rochester, NY.

I was amazed to see the time this photographer took trying to capture the reflections of Taj Mahal and to get the frame he liked.
It was captured at Agra, UP, India in 2009.

This was taken a couple winters ago in Washington State. The Wolf is a very beautiful animal - quiet yet very alert. He blends in day or night making him 'Blind to Ones' Eye.

We saw this mother elephant and her baby near Little Vumbura, Botswana in May, 2008.
The similar poses of the mother and baby, with the baby nestled under it's mother, show the close relation of mother and child.

Taken on the island of San Cristobal in the Galapagos. The booby is such a funny bird and I wanted to present several of the looks this one gave me while I was photographing it.

Ferhadija Street is one of the most popular streets in Sarajevo, Bosnia. The photo was taken late at night while some people were still on the street.

I took this shot at a local tulip garden in Holland, Michigan. I love the vibrant colors.

The picture was made on April 18, 2009 at 22:02 in the backyard of my grandparents. This photo is special because all the tricks were made from the camera and with an extra light.

At a local auto show I very much enjoyed viewing the many antique cars; but, it was the details that most intrigued me.

my oldest son.. who recently turned 13

Lovely morning at the Presidio in San Francisco. Loved the slight burst of sun starting to burn off the fog in the trees.

It was shot at Sum sand dunes, Jaisalmer, Rajasthan on the last day of Desert Festival. There was sudden change of weather and the sky was full of clouds and it was about to rain. One can feel the importance of rain in desert area. I saw a group of people's curious expressions in anticipation of rain and captured this frame.

1 day old gosling. So sweet!

Spring 2009 new family member. Taken 3-23-09 in Kingsville, OH.

I was trying to come up with a self portrait that would sort of say who I am. I think this may go a good ways to achieving that. :)

This picture was taken inside the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris during my semester abroad.

My daughter named this bunny Easter. This little guy posed just like a pro.

This was one of several visitors we had last spring to the lilac bush across the street from our home. I just zoomed in and took the picture hoping it would stay still long enough to get the shot. I took it with my Kodak camera, which I love!

I think that this picture is very neat. It shows the rounded bumpy texture of the basketball that most people don't really pay attention to.

Editor's Note: Tonight's the night. The NCAA Championship Game: Duke vs. Butler. Let the best team win!

I took this image of my friend's 3 boys out at a local Historic Village. I love the moment it speaks of...past and present.

I enjoyed the contrast of the bright blue flowers against the darker grass background. The little bug that happened to land as I snapped the picture was a bonus. Pratts Falls Park, Manlius, NY

I captured this candid frame near Hokra village, Ajmer, Rajasthan, India. I liked the innocence and the colors.

Takes the classic "Singing in the rain" and updates it to digital!

This was a lot of fun to take. He was a great subject that really got into goofing around with me!

*This beauty can be found simply in the woods,and that's special to me! *Photo was taken: 11-10-2009 in the Netherlands *Nature

Sunrise over the desert dunes on a winter's day (Central region, Saudi Arabia)

Lake Tahoe is a fantastic place for photographers to get a wide variety of light and color. This day there was a beautiful blue sky and the crystal clear lake reflected it well.

What better way to start the day, than with a beautiful sunrise!
