Because it stopped me first thing in the morning and made me take a breath I may not have taken on my own. I happened to just glance over on a bridge I travel on my way to work over the Savannah River and pulled over. It has nature written all over it. Morning sun, morning mist...

Little dog waits for his masters to finish netting for shrimp as the sun sets in Georgia.

I was riding on a Golf cart beside Spike as he was running down the road trying to race me. I just happen to catch him with all four paws of the ground.

This picture was taken with an photo journalistic approach. The moment could not have been taken at a more perfect time. The sun was just about to set, creating a lens flare that adds ideal geometry. I took this when I went on a trip to Poland to visit my family. This exact location was in the Krakow Main Square. It relates to the theme because a small girl is feeding pigeons while four boys watch.

Taken at Saratoga Race Track on August 29. I think it shows the action and excitement at the start of a race.

I LOVE the Brooklyn Bridge. I also happen to love the NY Waterway ferries. They are ever-present on the waterways of NY. It's like seeing a taxi on the street, except it's on the water. I got the opportunity to photograph both at the same time when I took a sightseeing boat around Manhattan. It was my favorite part of the tour!

This picture is important to me because it was my daughters first picture at home. We took this picture 5 weeks after she was born at our house. This picture relates to the theme because she is my which is considered family.

7 weeks to go and then comes our first child

I captured my girlfriend at 35 weeks pregnant on Kodak Tri-X film. We were making a silhoute photo to put on the birth announcement card and while this is not the picture to end up on the final product, it's probably my favorite picture of her during pregnancy.

My first born, my daughter, my YaYa...she's blossoming into a teen and with the sun behind us I wanted to capture this moment...

I love it when my kids love their kids

 It was my first time playing with these setting on my camera. 
 I always see great pictures of the Manhattan Beach pier. I felt like I was finally able to come up with something that I felt was really nice, and also a little different from the pictures I normally see.

Camp Tadmor Oregon

I had waited few hours after raining to get this rainbow picture. I took this at the roof of my apartment about a week ago.

This is one is taken by my wife in our honeymoon in Sharm Elshiekh, Egypt 2011

Soon after my brother was promoted to Captain in the Marine Corps, he brought our family to the beach to watch the sunset. Little did we know, he proceeded with an unexpected proposal to the love of his life. There wasn't a dry eye in sight. Cheers to Daulton and Kat.  

The simplest toy is not the sprinkler, it's the Grandma taking the picture! At least that is what my Grandson seems to be saying to me, while having fun in the water with his two older brothers. I really loved that I was able to capture his humor with the water coming up around his face. Just another fun day in Fort Wayne, Indiana!

Spectacular views of Bergen, Norway, the surrounding fjord and mountain landscape can be seen from the top of Mt.Floyen. The top of the mountain can be reached by funicular, one of Bergen's best known attractions. Using my fisheye lens and a Nikon D90, I photographed wide angle views with a hemispherical effect. I knew I captured that unique image when I included the red colored funicular in the foreground of my picture.

Another amazing day at Grand Canyon!

During a rainy Sunday in may 2016 pulled the parade through the streets of the village of Stramproy. This woman sat alone in the rain on the street when the parade pass by.

This was taken at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery last spring, shortly before Memorial Day.

Nandi hills which is about 60 kms away from Bangalore city is one of the most famous weekend gateways. People usually go at the early morning to see the sunrise. This photograph is one of the viewpoints in Nandi Hills where people gather around to see the sunrise.
