Light Source [Sun Beams]


The sun beams through these holes reminded me alot of abstract photography, and I thought that I needed to get them on film.

Photowalk [Hydrant]



The bushes in this image look like they are natural fire hydrants because of how close they are to the actual hydrant. I am sure this is doggy bathroom heaven. I really like how the hydrant is the most vibrant part of this image, so when looking at the image your eyes can travel instead of focusing on one thing, and losing the rest of the image.

Weather [Frozen Cattails]


Landscape.

Wire [Motorcycle]


This motorcycle is made out of twisted wires. I tried to get a good image, but my reflection is still visible in the glass. The artist's name escapes me right now, but I believe that he is a local artist and 2/3 of the proceeds for buying a motorbike goes to charities and the building of schools in Burma.

Perspective [Tug o' War]


This is my dog, Hunter. I thought that I would post this image becuase it is of a persepective that I usually would not use to photograph him. I tried to get level with him as I was playing with him, instead of the usual me above him looking down approach. Being at his level in the image makes me feel like I am still playing with him becasuse he is at the level of my eyes.

Weather [Again with the Fog]



This first image here is of an old spiderweb that I found by the UH entry with the vehicle loop. The hoarfrost made the web visible to me for the first time, and the web has been there a while, I just never noticed it before. The second image I posted is very dark, which is interesting since it was taken at 11:00am in blazing daylight. I had to turn my eyes away and just point and click my camera, which was on my phone. The lighting in this image is not at all representational to the lighting that I was experiencing, my camera compensated for the exposure of sunlight.

Trapped Spider [Black&White]


I do not know how long this spider has been trapped, but I placed the glass outside and he must have crawled away to freedom, because when I came back he was gone. *Whew* I took pictures in both color and black&white, and I found that a color image lacked the despair I felt for the spider being trapped.

Fairy Wings [PhotoWalk]


This weekend I did another walk around Lethbridge, on my first walk I found so many things that I did not notice about Lethbridge. I have lived here my entire life and I have never walked the streets of downtown. Mainly because I live on a farm 30 min outside of the city, but still, twenty-one years is a long time to have never walked these very familiar streets. On this second walk I completely changed my upcoming project. I found many different things. My image here with the fairy wings was inside a bus shelter. I could not resist placing myself in front of them for a picture. I saturated the color to make them brighter in the light. My over-all experience has been that walks should become a habit, things change so quickly week to week, that they are hardly noticed and photography kind of makes them permanent and timeless.
