“OK, is everybody lined up behind me?”, asked Leon. “I’m the leader in this line and everybody should be lined up behind me!”, he added somewhat emphatically. “What are we going to do?”, asked Finn. “We’re going to go for a ride on the slide!”, shouted Leon. He went on […]

Finn and Leon were walking among the trees when they decided to lay down and rest on the pine cones and pine needles. While they were resting, Finn asked, “Hey Leon, did you hear that silly photographer guy talking about something he called ‘tech sure’?” “Yes, Finn, I did”, replied […]
“Hey, Leon, where did all these rubber ducks come from?” asked Finn. “Dunno, but I think we’ll need an umbrella”, replied Leon. “You mean a duckbrella?”, asked Finn. “Could be, and we still don’t know where all these rubber ducks are coming from”, added Leon. “I think it’s the silly […]
Leon turned to Finn and said, “what do you have to say for yourself, Finn, now that we’re empty and colorless?” “I admit I’m feeling a bit drawn today, Leon”, replied Finn, “and a bit flat.” “Is that all you have to say?”, asked Leon. “Yes, I think so”, replied […]
I came across part of a sentence today that struck me as very interesting. The sentence was part of a description that Thomas Pynchon wrote about a novel published in 1966 by Richard Fariña. Richard Fariña’s book is titled “Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me”. A […]
I took one of the photos I captured of apples while I was at my sister Stacia’s house a few weeks ago and added a few overlays to satisfy week 41’s topic “Overlay”. And for week 42, the topic was “Details”. The instructions for this topic included this, “When looking […]
The last three topics for Nicolesy’s 52 Photo Challenge are week 27 “Starburst”, week 29 “Macro” and week 31 “Big Sky”. Actually, there was a fourth topic that I didn’t actually take a photo for, and that one is week 30 “Backlight”. I was traveling to Salt Lake City during […]
The week 12 theme in the Nicolesy 52 Photo Challenge is a technique that I’ve worked on for quite some time: sidelights. The idea is to have the subject lit from the side. These photos are some that I took several years ago using this technique: And these are the […]
In honor and celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, week 11’s theme in the Nicolesy 52 photo challenge is “green”. These are a few of the photos I took this week.
Last week’s challenge in the Nicolesy 52 photo challenge was “patterns” and this week, for week 10 its “symmetry”. They share some similar elements. For example, if I had known that symmetry was going to be the next topic, I would have saved the photo I took of the brick […]
As you can probably tell by the image above, I have quite a few books by Dean Koontz. He’s one of my favorite authors and I’ve recently been collecting his books by going to Savers. Savers is a great place to buy used books! The 52 photo challenge by Nicolesy […]
Here is Nicolesy‘s introduction to week 8’s topic of “Negative Space”: “It’s always great to fill the frame with your subject, but sometimes giving your subject room to breathe can make a HUGE impact in the photo. Negative space (also known as ‘copy space’ in the commercial-photography industry) is an […]
“Leading Lines” was the topic for the Nicolesy 52 photo challenge for week 7. “Leading Lights” was taken inside the Joanne Fabric and Craft store in Murray, Utah “The Canyon” is a large artwork that is hanging in the Salt Lake City International Airport “Toothpicks”. Still trying to get my […]
The Nicolesy 52 Photo Challenge topic for week 6 is “Framing”. Either a natural frame around the subject captured in camera, or a frame added to the photo in post-processing. The blue bottle was a new photo that I took specifically for this challenge, even though it’s not a new […]
“Textures” was the week 5 theme for Nicolesy’s 52 Photo Challenge. There were some very interesting photos submitted by the other photographers. I wasn’t as ambitious. The puzzle texture is from “The Beatles” puzzle that I put together a few years ago and then had glued and framed. The other […]
