Tchotchkes & Other Strangers

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.

Random Shots: Farmers Market. UC Davis, 04-11-12.

The woman with the hefty looking professional camera is, far as I could tell, an official UC Davis photographer. I surmised this once I saw her taking pictures of Chancellor Katehi at a couple of vendors. The woman in the last photograph apparently had the same idea I did, and I hope her shot of me taking her picture amused her as much as this one of her taking my picture amuses me.
