Taken over the holidays, I really like the light in this photo and it really shows off the 5D and the IS lens well. Taken at 1/15 (!) and an ISO of 1600, it came out better than I thought it would. I did do a little clean-up with Noise Ninja, but that was it.

Didn’t actually intend to take such a long break over the holidays, but I did and now I’m back.

Today it’s cold and raining as I sit, once again, behind my desk at the day job. This photo, however, was taken last Saturday when we were experiencing a one-day shot of 80 degree weather.

Winter in Texas–it’s like that.

1. a little quiet time, 2. table for none, 3. tent, 4. landscaping, 5. for sale, 6. lamp and bike, 7. morning, 8. the elusive xgray, 9. explore texas!

Apparently, the entrance is above the shrubs.

The latest addition to the nothing series, which indulges my interest in empty spaces. Not simply a form of abstraction or minimalism, but these photos are more about what’s missing. Think of them as empty stages, blank slates–potential. Perhaps the frame you’re seeing was taken a just bit too late or maybe a bit too early, in which case you should stick around a while so you don’t miss the show.

1. big savings start here, 2. looking out, 3. stacks, 4. parking lot, 5. sign down, 6. lines with curve, 7. ornament, 8. morning, 9. cart, 10. VVVVVV., 11. corral
