I love the juxtaposition here, the statements of prosperity, the photographer's shadow, the street person's ironic need.

I like this shot. It shows the fall light, it's already coming in at a sharp angle and it was taken at noon.

I like the way this low light blurry shot of some dried pussywillows turned into a kind of abstract painting. It's relaxing to look at.

I wish the hummingbird was in better focus but I still love the look of this shot.

This is just such a cute picture of little Gizmo after his first bath in his new home.

She's drawing polar bears for a class she's taking. Pretty cool picture, I love both the wide angle use and the way the colors really pop out. I used a "Vivid" camera setting on my Nikon which makes the colors more saturated.

I didn't think this picture was going to turn out, but it ended up being one of my favorites from the set.

This shot was really hard to focus for some reason. I think it was the low contrast of the flower. Really beautiful, it seemed like a kind of rare little miracle.
