Life of the CREATIVE GEEK

I love shooting in the studio but I would love to get back to the simple shooting that I call, 'drive-by photography'. Saturday, Jan 26th...no one wants to leave the house with me so I head off, camera in hand. A free couple of hours to drive AAALLLL around Birmingham, Alabama... ...and all I shot was this cat. A BEAUTIFUL cat nonetheless... BUT, just a cat!! Bwaahahhahaa... --mnj

I thought I would share these as an ode to to how beautiful weather can be... I have seen its treachery, but I stand in awe of the quiet, breathtaking grace that can only a snowy day can provide. Now, I'm from the South and I happily return there. I appreciate the snow (and cold)--but not for long:)  Anderson, IN/12.26.2012-01.03.2012 I chose black and white, because it breaks everything down to its simplistic form... Add caption I added these black and whites, just BECAUSE!  There were eight of us in the house so scrambling eggs for breakfast brought about the need for a flat of eggs. A dozen just would NOT have done it. So this last pic is simply in honor of breakfast! SOOoo unbelievably, it decides to snow in ALABAMA on January 17, 2013. It was a huge blinding blizzard that lasted all of about an hour. There was SOME accumulation and with Canon in hand off I went... I left the apartments in Homewood...

The visit started out with dinner... served by elves?     Aunt Shirley showed the girls how to set a proper table.             Aunt Shirley mixes up some of her prized white chocolate CHEX mix...  Nadia and Aunt Caroline (BFF's for LIFE!)     My beautiful Aunt Shirley!!! If you know me, then you've heard this name before!    Life is better with family!

So, there are many who see my pics but may not understand the 'science' behind them. These tell-all posts, I will call "BEHIND THE SCREEN'... Thanks for swinging through...
