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
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.

For as long as I can remember, I've avoided including power lines, cell towers, street lights, etc.. in my photographs. I always saw them as something that shouldn't be included in my compositions. They were extraneous bits that were getting in the way of my otherwise "perfect" image. I'd change my position, select a different lens, crop, or just give up entirely and not even make an image with the irratating stuff in it. That "stuff" exists in this world and I can no longer try to avoid it. I've decided to embrace these things that have annoyed me for so long. It is no longer something to be avoided but something I am embracing as a subject. As always, comments are appreciated

There is a small marina near my home that I regularly walk my dogs by. Sometimes on these walks I'll take a camera along, but not often. It can be quite difficult and frustrating to compose images while holding on to the leashes of restless canines. This particular day, the dogs stood still long enough for me to be able to get a few images of these sails being aired out. As always, comments are appreciated
