lonely…i’m mister lonely

nothing special really, but since maritha said that no one’s been posting, i thought i’d post. a little bit of contrast and dodging/burning, and masking with channel mixer.

islands in the sand (formerly “green rocks”)

i figured out how to get what I see in photoshop to match what the monitor displays…so the green is a bit greener. i also did some sharpening. it’s kind of hard to get a nice, refined edge when you are shooting something soft like moss on a rock, so i was really unsure of how sharp it should look. all i know is that i felt uncomfortable with the sharpness as shot.

green rocks (pun intended)

went out shooting in the morning and this is one of the shots that I got. played around with it in photoshop to bring out the green and increase the contrast. too bad firefox doesn’t support color profiles…in my mind the green was greener.

the same thing from a different angle, is not the same thing

I’ve been trying to practice composing/shooting photos, everyday. Just by taking a few minutes to experiment and practice will help us get better…

so, keep them coming!

blue on blue

they told us that we could do anything
when we were young
imaginations that bloomed
under the sun

then between child and coming of age
grew up too fast
no longer mere children but
not quiet yet men

well-meaning people who
didn’t understand
smiled as they
patted us on the head
told us to stop dreaming
sent us away sad

does that mean
we cease to believe?
does that mean
that we forget how to dream?

remind me of the boy
eyes full of hope
looked out and
saw a world unconquered
has he tamed it?
or has it tamed me?

question restless questions
spin in the fertile mind
whispers of the future
echo of unseen

forbid that I should speak of it
again yet I must dream
if living I have died again
then dreaming my rebirth
