KODAK MOMENT of the Day

This photo was taken in Golden Gate Park at Stow Lake, while my brother was visiting from Pennsylvania. He hadn't been to San Francisco in 25 years.
When we saw the light coming thru the trees it just made you stop and say, "Oh my God."

This is a picture of my 4 year old grandson. The picture really captures the deep intensity and strong will between the flamingo and my grandson. I find it such a captivating picture. The picture was taken in February 2011 at a park in Florida. I could not decide between animals--humor--nature-family...I chose family.

My 10-year-old son, hiking the Narrows of the Virgin River in Zion National Park. He says this is his favorite thing he's ever done.
It's pretty high on my list too.

Waiting in line for the ferris wheel, seeing the reflection in the glasses made me think of seeing a goal, and waiting for it.

The evening clouds make a nice background for this century old attraction in Vienna.

This picture was taken in Granger, Texas, at a wheat field my dad and I stopped at while out driving. He had to convince me to get into the field, and after several shots, this "first" picture turned out to be the best shot that day. It is an artistic shot to me, because the wheat field looks like an endless sea.

A butterfly showing off it's colors in the dawn hours of Tampa, Florida.

Emerald Lake in British Columbia, Canada. Taken while on vacation in the Canadian Rockies last summer.

Here in the sub-continent, hands of a farmer are used in much of the countryside to harvest the golden crop.

This is one of the many beautiful churches found in Chicago!

Taken at the shore in Ocean City, NJ while I was back East visiting with family. It was a wonderful time full of many Kodak moments.

These are my kiddos. This is just one picture from a series I did of them for there up coming Father's Day gift to their dad.

I love to play tennis and waiting for US Open.

After taking a shift "shot" of our City Fire Department, I said, "all finished" and this was the next shot I took! It was too funny to watch as they all assumed different positions descending from the fire truck. I could not resist this one.

The picture is taken in Frederikssund, DK - July 5th.

This was our first solo vacation in Cancun, Mexico. It was taken last September.

This picture was shot at our Shakespeare Park, September 2010.

This is my wee son Owen. Last summer we had the opportunity to get away for the week and enjoy the relaxing beach at the cottage. Well, Owen is not so fond of being away from his environment so I thought I would hang him out to dry.lol. Just kidding! He was grumpy but was a real trooper for this staged shot.

This is Patches. I adopted her in August 2010 and came right home and did her 1st photo shoot. I love this shot!

This picture was taken during a Memorial Day parade in my small town. The concentration in this musicians face was a delight to see.

I enjoyed the way the shapes combined on this custom car at a local car show.

Close-up of a peacock from our local zoo.

The Red Mill in Clinton, NJ is one of the most photographed places in NJ. It is said to be haunted and was featured on Ghost Hunters and other paranormal shows.

A World Trade Center tower replica of 9/11 is on display in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The names of victims are engraved on the granite base of this memorial and a 34 inch chunk of an actual WTC girder is mounted on the front.

As a resident of New York City, I continually venture out on the anniversary of 9/11 and photograph the twin beams that shine toward heaven to remind us of that day... a day that most of us will never forget. This shot was taken in front of the New York Stock Exchange, another symbol of the strength and ingenuity of the American people.

This is a picture of my grandson and granddaughter taking a stroll down the road to our house.

I love the vivid colors of the monarch butterfly and the pink cornflower. Taken in July 2011 at the Rockefeller State Park Preserve, Sleepy Hollow, NY

My new niece, the day after her baptism. She's just shy of four weeks old in this photo, quietly observing the entire world around her.

I had to crawl on my stomach for about 20 meters to get this photo. We rarely see hares as close as this here in the Highlands of Scotland, so this was special for me.

I took this image during a photography workshop in a cafe in Dusseldorf.

I was sitting in my parked car talking to a friend when I realized the rain on my windshield was creating multiple inverted images of the large tree in front of me. I immediately began snapping pictures. Once they'd been loaded onto the computer, I decided to turn one of the pictures upside down, and this is how it turned out! I don't think I'd ever noticed the images contained in rain drops before this, so it was a unique discovery for me.

My sister often poses for pictures, this being one of those times. I tried to capture the thought and emotion written on her face.

A beautiful Autumn scene taken in Cheesequake State Park, New Jersey. It's located only 30 miles from metropolitan New York.

This was captured during a post marriage photo shoot. The train was passing by at 120 Kmph. It was really hard to maintain a romantic feeling while standing just 3-4 feet away from the fast moving train.

Autumn Pears. Photographed in October 2010.

Driving home trying to stay ahead of a big lighting storm, I noticed the sun gleaming on some wheat fields near the foothills. I stopped to take a picture of the wheat blowing in the wind, and as I was leaving I took a picture of the road. I was pleasantly surprised of how dramatic a road through the wheat can be.
Location: Teton Valley, Idaho.

A picture of my cat Stanley taken in my home in Las Vegas, NV. Don't you just love his eyes.

This photo was taken on a visit to Talaltal Ghar in Sibsagar, Assam, India. The caretaker was going through his daily job, not even bothered by what we were doing.

After several days of heavy rain, the sun finally came out to shine one the beautiful fall trees! Taken in Saratoga Springs, NY. October 2010.

Having a super day with my grandbabies. We have so much fun "just crackin' up!

This picture is special to me because I had my niece with me and I was teaching her how to take waterfall pictures.
It was cold but she stuck it out with me like a real trooper. The picture was taken in Pigeon Forge, TN. November 2010.

I took this picture because of the beautiful warm light shinning on this handsome turtle. I loved the way it turned out, because the turtle seemed to be posing for me.

I could not resist this shot of present day bicycle racers speeding past a mural of an antique motor vehicle.

Taken at the balloon fest, Warren County Farmer's Fair in Harmony, NJ 2010.

My grandson playing in the raked leaves!

This drainage tunnel goes underneath a deserted road in the woods. I like to come here to relax.

Beautiful horse on a beautiful autumn day.

This was taken with my mother's Kodak ZD710 digital camera. I was just playing around with the different settings and loved what this camera can do.

I had to write an essay in junior high school about a picture of a little girl's shoes in a field with daisies. The image has stuck with me all these years and I've always wanted to photograph my version...and here it is.

Just an amazing view from a walk the with the family.

This is a special moment, taken at a friends wedding. The sister of bride suggested a pose behind this frosted glass panel. The newlyweds were gladly enjoying a kiss for this pose.

I took this picture because I just liked the view.

Around sundown, there are a lot of toads around my house. This toad was hidden in my garden.

These two cavers were descending to the natural pedestal below, as the sunlight shone through a opening above.
Taken at Stevens Gap Cave, Alabama. September, 2010.

I snapped this photo one morning (from my car, on my cell phone) as I was backing out of the driveway to leave for work. It was such a beautiful, peaceful scene that it started my day off just right. One of the many reasons I love living out in the country!

Nothing like baseball, apple pie, and my own backyard to make me proud to be an American!

Finding and old abandoned structure which I think is a school house in the plains of eastern Oregon was a treat. I could almost hear the voices of children at play, and the ringing of the school bell calling them back inside.
