This was also my P52 image for last week for the theme of "Rule of Thirds" ... Just after I snapped this photo, the young man walking on the sidewalk turned and smiled at me, giving me a slight nod before walking into a shop.

There are few things I love more than a snowy stroll after dark. I'm one of those strange people who actually loves the cold. I find it somewhat cleansing and can be found outside taking a deep breath when the temperature dips into the teens.

Both images shot with Lensbaby Edge 35mm.


The image on the left is a single exposure and the image on the right is an in-camera double exposure.

I love street photography, but most street images that come to mind are of bustling city streets. For better or worse, I live in the middle of a pretty average suburban neighborhood, so I do my best to create with what I've got.

Another snowy suburban street... Something about the snow and the crosswalk grabbed my attention.

A creative rut, and a self portrait.


I will likely write more on this soon, but sometimes I find that creative lenses and techniques can hinder my creativity. So, this month's self portrait was shot with nothing but an old 50mm.

Ahhhhh suburbia. I have a love-hate relationship with it for sure. If there's one thing the Lensbaby Edge lenses are good at, it's highlighting one part of a scene and making the rest kind of fade away. I use them a lot for a reason.

I have forever envied my Canadian friends and their hoar frost. Perhaps there's a reason my family refers to me as the "Ice Queen" at times. While I'm not sure this quite qualifies as hoar frost, I was so pumped to find these feathery fractals of ice on the dead grass along the creek.
