Bugs, Flowers, Bugs on Flowers







I hope Blogspot posts these at full file size. For a point-and-shoot, the Kodak V1253 does an amazing job mimicking the capabilities of an SLR with a macro lens.

Keep zooming in!

Today's Amazing Bug


I wonder if this is what's called a darner, or darning needle? It landed on the spirea while I was trying to photograph bumble bees. The bees moved so fast I didn't get a single focused shot. This guy was nice enough to sit still for a few seconds.

Light on the Water






Sailing my family's little boat in Marion is one of the best pleasures of summer.

1. A handsome boat we saw while sailing on Sunday.

2. Bird Island, which had a house and lighthouse keeper until the house was blown away in the Hurricane of '38. It's now a bird sanctuary. We think those are researchers.

3. Ted at the helm of the family Bull's Eye.

4. Ted and yours truly.

5. View of buildings on shore, over the stern of our little boat.

Trip to New York City, April 2008






No photographic ground broken here. These are just some fun moments from a trip to NYC with my son and a friend, a year ago.

Details of the Natural World






Another endless fascination for me is photographing up close the exquisite textures and colors of the natural world.

There's nothing original in this obsession; most photographers who get beyond family snapshots share it.

What astonishes me is what you can do with a well-engineered point-and-shoot camera. It's possible to capture images with a level of detail and clarity I used to think you could achieve only with an SLR.
