Great Morning!

Journal Entry: Sun Jun 25, 2006, 10:45 AM
[Featured Artist]

My wife,
________________________

My wife and I went to the marsh early this morning. I was anxious to shoot more with my newly acquired Mamiya 645. I spent the morning with light meter in hand, carefully selecting subject matter and exposure, and I gave the 20D and 70-200 f/4 L over to Marge. She took some of the most amazing photos, and I'm so proud of her. There are so many gems, after getting home and viewing them on the computer. I processed them for her and put a border and title, but they are her shots. He compositions and exposures, and they are wonderful.

Take a look!

It insulting to me, not flattering, when people ask to take my image and cut it up and stick it into their digital art, or to use with their poem, or whatever, etc, etc, etc....

Thanks to you all for your support and kind words. Marge and I both appreciate it so much.

you know, not to bad, but kinda stressed, I'm in my last year at uni (!) at the moment and have a dissertation (10,000 words!), which is basically research due in in 6 weeks! ive not written a single word! Gonna be a sad recluse really! but never mind! Hows things going with the missus and all? Still playing your music? I've got your photos up in my room in my new house. I never did send you the ones from my old house!

anyway, hope you are well, and if you can get over and see my lastest Devisations, I'd appreciate it! As I've not had any feedback at all yet!

take it easy, be good

I had to stop putting your photographs as favorites, it became so many after a few pages :P Really looking forward to your new deviations.

You have a really good eye for seeing and working with color and composition. Really amazing :)
