Lighting

The light makes the green pop.

Coils

This was the back seat of this broken down truck we found in Alta Lakes in Colorado. Here are some pictures of the truck so you can see how old it was and "the shot" :)

RAW

I would like to stress the importance, to me, of raw, original, and unedited photography. It is all complete personal preference but anyone can take a photo of a flower and change it up to look cool on iphoto. What makes me the happiest is experimenting with three main elements....

1. composition,
2. light,
3. and color balance.

Once I find the best combination of all three and I nail the perfect shot I am accomplished and satisfied...no computer necessary.

Shrine

Botanical Gardens

Old St. Hilary's

This was taken a few minutes before the sunset picture.

Another view from the Helicopter...

Hanalai Bay

Horray for point-and-shoot cameras! I got this one of Hanalai Bay in Kauai from a helicopter! We took a tour and got some awesome pictures.

Fountain

Botanical Gardens II

The color here was amazing when the light hit it like this

Botanical Gardens in Kauai

I instantly loved this statue as soon as I saw it.

In honor of summer.....

In honor of summer just starting I'll be posting pictures from my vacation last summer to Hawaii over the next couple of days. This one is from Kauai at a tourist destination called Spouting Horn.

Fireworks

Not my best picture but fireworks are hard. This was in Lake Tahoe, I was on our family friends boat on the fourth of July watching fireworks directly above us on the water.

Photoshoot

I took this of Audrey, while my dad took this other of me.

Dye

I was inspired by my sixth grade science project.....I know I'm cool ;)

More from Fourth Grade

This was taken around the same time as the chess pieces. It was also the first picture I won an award for....second place in the close ups category in the Belevdere-Tiburon Jr. Photo Contest, 2004

Chess

This is a very old picture of chess pieces, I took it with my Dad's Nikon when he first got it when I was in fourth grade.

Statue of Liberty

In one of the coolest places I've been, I'd love to go back to New York City.

Mustard Plant

Tons of these on the Tiburon Bikepath

Alta Lakes

Usually I dont post this late in the day but I was in such a rush this morning.

Yacht Club

No Parking

Interesting angle huh? I took this looking straight up at the sign while Joey jumped up to touch it.
