Howdy, y'all.
I am self-taught (self-learning?), aspiring to be a photographer. I am inspired by other photographers' work. I use a Nikon D-50 w/ a kit 28-88mm lens. Got the camera from a friend in March, 2012.
Here I post my photographs: plants, architecture, street scenes, night shots. Some people, even strangers. Every so often I post photography related content.
For many years, I believed the popular, unfounded fantasy that great art photographs are born exactly as published. This is, by the way, the twin sibling (both of them are equally evil) of the "authors sit down and spit out good writing" fallacy. Both art forms take buttloads of editing and rethinking and work.
Thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy.

Love this plant. It is usually, for some reason, very heard to get a good photograph of these flowers.

A “just Enough” Dose of Cuteness. Davis, 05-11-12.
This is outside a house that has a beautiful front yard full of roses and agave and such. Also in the front yard is a flagpole; the homeowners fly a different country’s flag every day, though for US holidays they fly the Stars & Stripes. Then, along the side, the put up five, six “planter” bicycles on poles, with each bike painted a bright solid color. Very cool.
