I love texture in photography, which is probably why I just about always work in black and white. Black and white photography has the ability to really bring out textural attributes in a way that color photography can not. By removing the color, other attributes of the image come alive. Texture being one of them. As always, comments are appreciated
I'm scanning my old negatives into digital form. It's a painstakingly slow process, but one that I'm enjoying. It's fun to breath new life into some images that have been kept in a storage box for more than 15 years. Back when I was taking photos on film, very few ever made it to the enlarger for printing. The image below was one of those images. I was too busy making other images at the time, that this one never got made into a print. It's been fun trip down memory lane picking out negatives to scan.
Now, although still not printed, it's at least out of the storage box and into the world.

Location and date: Utah, Idaho, or Oregon. early to mid 1990's. I have a bad memory and even worse records.
It is often said that there are more stars in the Universe than all the grains of sand on all the Earth's beaches. That just blows my mind. Click Here for the math explaining this concept. Along the same line of thought comes a quote from one of my favorite movies.
You know, there are four hundred billion stars out there, just in our galaxy alone. If only one out of a million of those had planets, and just one out of a million of those had life, and just one out of a million of those had intelligent life; there would be literally millions of civilizations out there. (From the movie Contact, 1997)
Possibly something to think about when walking along the beach.

Obviously not from 35,000 ft, but these pictures do remind me of looking down on rivers and tributaries from high above the earth's surface. They make me feel like I'm daydreaming that I'm on a plane traveling somewhere new and exciting. As always, comments are appreciated
I always get excited when the Lone Star Rally comes to town. I've been taking pictures for some time at the yearly rally and posted about it here and here. Again this year, I planned to add more images to my ongoing project of Motorcycle Abstracts, but a funny thing happened. I only took two pictures of motorcycles. Instead, I took pictures of the hot rod and car show being held at the rally. I find it interesting how quickly my focus changed course and I believe it was a good thing.
