Jeremiah, thank you very much for the comment. Yes, the first shot was taken from inside the 3rd floor of the art building.

Nicole, my heart-felt thanks for your beautiful and thoughtful comments! You’ve figured me out completely. What good is keeping knowledge of such fantastic places and photography techniques to one’s self? I want more people to enjoy the beauty all around us. As it has done for me, I’m hoping that some basic photography and photoshop skills will encourage other to get out there and explore!

I love that you have added the Google map to show the location of where you took your picture! It adds a new dimension to your photography and I love it!

It seems like you’ve found a new outlet for your passion for photography; like a next chapter- that of teaching via your web site and offering additional information beyond just the image itself. I think that is really unique and interesting… Thank you for sharing all your hard work and talent with all of us! -It’s very inspiring…

Katie, Wow! Just saying thank you seems woefully inadequate to the eloquent compliments you gave me. You have such a way with words. I read your response several times with a grin on my face that extended from ear to ear.

I love your idea of an ibook. I’ll have to see how feasible that is. If you belong to Smugmug, they have what’s called a “collect” feature which allows one to grab favorite images from other Smugmug members (if those members allow it, that is) and sequester them in a virtual on-line album/gallery. That may be a good first step toward creating an ibook.

You are a magician. It’s amazing to get to see what you see. It must be fascinating, and perhaps frustrating, for you to watch other people see your vision, and see how they interpret your vision. SO many times, when I’ve looked at many of your photographs, I’ve not just seen but also felt a moment in time. Captured but freely happening. Other senses are pulled in because the visual effect is so striking, real, imaginary, and perfectly arranged. I think I occasionally see some of those moments in time like I should, but I can’t replay them for others by photographing, writing, speaking, showing, singing, or dancing (the singing and dancing could be particularly disturbing).
So wonderful for you to be able to show your work to others, so they get a chance to see through your eyes.
Please start making a book. You could even create a system in which people you trust can create an ibook by you, choosing their favorite masterpieces, the ones that speak to them. This would be an incredible treasture.
