Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #278: Unique

I was thrilled to see the topic for this week's Challenge, as I own some items that are completely unique.  The first one is a piece of art, which I inherited from my parents.  I remember telling them when I was a teenager that, when they died, I insisted on getting this, and I did …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #244: Glowing Moments

Let There Be Light.  And there was light.  There is a reason God created light first.  Nothing lives totally without light, and photographers care most about how a subject is lighted.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #125: You Pick It

As long as I get to pick my subjects, I will post some of what I consider to be the best photos I have taken for this blog.  Most have been spur-of-the-moment captures that just said "take my picture". This picture of the LaConner Marina just says "tranquillity" to me, and I remember thinking that …
