December in Texas

This is a ridiculously simple picture that I just love. I'm not sure if it's the fact that it's focused on the tree, and everything else is out of focus -- I'm always drawn to pictures like that, and our old camera could never quite take pictures like that. Or maybe it's the fact that there is a wedding picture of Jay and me in the background. I have no idea -- I just like it.

More Fun with Photoshop

Same but Different

Photoshop

This is my favorite picture from today...I was going to see what it looked like in black and white, but as I was dragging the saturation down in photoshop, this level caught my eye.

New Camera

Our new camera arrived on Friday -- I haven't had much chance to experiment with it yet, but I will! Here is one picture I've taken with it that I'm drawn to for some reason...which one do you like better?

Work in Progress

This is the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York City. The cornerstone was laid in 1892, and it was under construction until the 1990s. Then the scaffolding remained until the summer of 2007 -- we were there in March 2007. I love the beauty of it, and how in this picture you can see a tiny sliver of scaffolding...a sign that it was indeed a work in progress.
