Photography as an Art

I know I have not posted anything in a while and I apologize for that. With all of the work I have been doing, it has become a busy couple of weeks for me. But I do have some news and new photographs to show you. :) Recently I have spoken with a very close friend of mine and she has given me an idea. Since I love to write, and photography is like my second hobby, I am going to be creating a photography book. It will take a little longer than my self-published books, but I am willing to do it. Many of my photographs in the book will not be just what you see up here on my blog. I take pictures of different subjects and aspects all of the time. But now I will be able to show all of the different ideas I have when it comes to photography. I am very excited and will hopefully have this completed as soon as I can.

You can see the detail in every petal and the light that is present captures enough to show you how 3-D the flower really is.   This red rose is in a different position in the picture then all the others. You can see the leafs as well as all of the petals that are falling to the bottom of the flower. It gives it that m...

I always thought that it was cool to really see any type of fruit or vegetable and look at what their true shapes are. Sometimes they are a figure that we can not make ourselves as humans and other we have shaped through our lives. It is a symbol of something significant in our cultures. A strawberry is one of those particular shapes that we use to signify a meaning and a feeling in our world.   You can clearly see that it is in a shape of a heart. I thought that it looked interesting and it is cool how in nature there are shapes that we have created, but we did not recognize that nature already had this shape.     You can move a camera around and get a million different angle shots for one object. This picture your eye is being draw to the strawberry and many people will be reluctant to see the stem on the upper right side of the picture. I love how many photographs are like this, and you will try to figure out why the photographer made it so, or what is ...
