The Great Blue Heron Debate
I interval run and was out for the first time since we got back from vacation. I took my camera with me. I've gotten used to lugging my big ole Canon along because I don’t want to be sorry I didn’t have it. I'm always on the look out for things that might make interesting photos.

Karma Chameleon
Have you ever experienced one of those moments when you look up from a thought, profound or not, and find it inexplicably reflected in what you see in front of you? When the inward and the outward do a tandem dance. Far beyond any logic. It’s magic. This was one of those moments for me.

Greek Gods And Goddesses but Make it Fashion. Top Story - June 2021.
I am a Photography student at Nossi College of Art, but I also really enjoy fashion and costume design. Currently in my fine art class, I had to choose a project that would keep my attention for an entire 15-week semester. I chose to do a series of environmental fashion portraits, editorial style, themed after the Greek Gods and Goddesses, and I wanted to create the wardrobe. The assignment requires that the series must contain twenty images and they must all be different. To me, that means making 20 different deity portraits. It will be challenging, but so far it has been really rewarding and it fuels my happiness.

The Howling Ape and the Angry Gator
Swamps sorely are underappreciated. Though vaunted, the vast swathes of land in America’s middle are largely desolate. The sprinkling of rocky landmarks across these states hardly makes up for their endless expanses of dullness. Florida’s wetlands are brimming with sounds and sights. The liveliest of forests seem still by comparison.

The Cheetah and the Garden of Eden
The Serengeti in Tanzania is a vast open landscape of wonder and suprise. But it can also be endless miles of driving through valleys filled with grass, seeing an occasional gazelle or a nervous impala, twitching its fur to get rid of the flies and and avoid the ineviteable predator. From our anthropomorphic eyes, they almost seem to know or sense in some way that all impalas will die in a kill from a perdator in search of its weekly meal. Of course, all safari goers are looking for the hunt. But this cheetah taught me a far deeper lesson.

Taking Nature for Granted
In my neighborhood I see squirrels, coyotes, raccoons, possums, cooper hawks, and red-tailed hawks often. I don't really think about how there might be some people in the world that would be in awe of these animals, because I will just spot them in my yard. I also hadn't thought about how there were places where I could see animals that I would be in awe of without having to go on a safari. That's until I got to Australia and discovered that amazing animals were all around the cities I was visiting. I couldn't imagine that there were people that just see these animals daily.

Short Rest on the Reeds
It was a warm spring day, almost summer, and I was biking around my small town. Birds were chirping, nature finally waking up from its yearly slumber, when I noticed the day had a glowing quality to it. Light shimmered and weaved through branches of trees with their rich green leaves, still young and bright. I had a sudden spark of inspiration, and I realized what I needed to do.

ROSEICAPILLA by Julia Rose
Art is the expression of those beauties and emotions that stir the human soul.Howard Pyle As a designer using flowers and botanicals as your medium, it does not matter how large or decadent looking your designs are, you do not have to feature only expensive designer flowers to create something amazing. Sweet little garden flowers will sing a song of love if your technique and composition are on point. I focus on colour and texture; these two elements alone make my heart sing.

THE LITTLE LAKE. Top Story - June 2021.
One of my favorite things to do when I have some free time, is to go for a walk with a camera in hand. I have always loved capturing a moment of beauty or interest and the art of reflecting everyday life in a unique way. Living in the mountains and being surrounded by lakes and wild life gives a budding photographer, such as myself, an abundant and beautiful palate of readily available landscapes to photograph.
