Featured Photo: Dog Shaking Off

Martin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 03:16:21 +0000

We were at the South Fork American River in the Sierra Nevada foothills, and I wanted to create a fun image that conveyed the joy our dogs were having playing in the river, and the fun we were having watching them. If you’ve ever been with dogs at a river (or lake or creek or [...]

This month’s photo gallery features pictures from the Sierra Nevada mountains in California.

Martin — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:15:55 +0000

This month's photo gallery features abstracts. Many of these images are close-ups from nature, including bark patterns, lichen, and fungi. The detail and complexity you can find when looking closely can be amazing; I often try to remember this when I find myself in one of those "there's nothing good to photograph here" moods.

December Photo Gallery: Dogs in Snow

Martin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 01:29:12 +0000
