Origami penguins and the snow scene are my creation. Tobogganing is not a usual winter activity down here in the central Texas. My imagination can bring back my college days I spent in Michigan winters. Photo taken by Nobi Nagase (United States) - Artistic/Creative

This photo is one of my best to date, and is very special to me in that regard. I just love the sunset in the back - and the boy looking very tough, but there is also a somewhat innocent expression to him. I took this shot during the summer of 2005 at our local BMX track.

She put her hands on my shoulders - told me she was going to jump - and asked me to take a picture. The expression on her face is so funny. That's why I titled this GOOFY. She is the daughter of a good friend - full of personality and a beautiful ten year old young lady. I hope this picture makes people laugh or smile :-) Photo taken by Kerby Pfrangle (United States) - Humor

My 2 1/2 yr old daughter in her Christmas dress. Being in the Southwest, she didn't get to wear it, or the hat and mittens for Christmas -- so I decided to take a few shots in my home studio.
