“bare”

after 3 miles of hills and wind resistance i find myself riding slowly past a prison.  i saw these incredibly sad-looking trees, i thought, “i’m here, they’re there, my camera’s in my bag… sure i’ll take the picture, why not?”  so how was i supposed to know you’re not allowed to photograph stuff right outside of a prison???  i got off my bike, walked over to the fence, took a few shots, and was done in less than 5 mins.  as i’m walking back to my bike – a mere 6 to 8 ft. away – not one, or two, but three vehicles circled me. all three quite normal looking, but clearly the men inside weren’t your average civilian.  they had bullet proof vests under their “security” t-shirts and gun holsters with guns in their utility belts.  as one all three get out of each of their cars, i realize that i probably shouldn’t have stopped to take pictures.  the chubbiest of the three men asked in a kind-hearted manner “what are you doing?”  i explained that i was only taking a photograph of the sad-looking trees, he asked to see the pictures and after about 10 mins of interrogation to make sure i wasn’t a terrorist or trying to break anyone out, he let me go.  i nearly got arrested for this shot.  as i walked back to my bike i thought “this shot was well worth it.”   anyway, another black and white here.  hope it’s enjoyable.

and yet another black and white  ”three -lonely- musketeers”

i think i’m on an unofficial black and white streak… here’s another “classically thought provoking”

title is from the song by Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole.  the shot is another black n white that was inspired by that song.  i thought i’d share…

i got this shot a few years ago in dallas tx.  i never posted it though.  i hope it’s likable.

“romanticism”

after work i go take pictures…

“oil-petrochemical refinery II”

an improvised photo shoot…  ”formally skateboarding”

…darkness becomes my friend again…

The following lines were the inspiration behind this particular shot.  A very beautiful song, check it out if you have time…  It’d be cool to know what comes to anyone’s mind in listening to that song.  Let me know

And you’re still inside my head”

*Breakfast After Ten

“i need some light”

One shot about which I can truly say has deep hidden emotion.  There was a bit much that went into this…  I’m finally able to share it.  I post it as a memory, after which I find myself content…
