Flower close ups

These two photos of dinner plate dahlias were taken in the back year in the late summer of 2006 using super macro mode on my digital camera.

  

Deep sea fishing catch

Here’s a small oil painting I made from a photo I took after a deep sea fishing trip. It’s a small painting that I did in only a few hours as a study. As sometimes happens with a study, I really liked it.

I painted this series of flowers more than a year ago. I wanted to play around a little with different colors on the same subject. I painted these using acrylics, but I generally prefer oil paints.

This a photo of the top of a bounce house from the inside. I must confess, while this is my own personal photograph, I only took it after seeing my neighbor take the same photo. I hope he understands that emulation is the highest form of flattery. Enjoy.

Who needs a website?

I spent several evenings looking at hosting companies because I had decided to get started on a website. One of my most important requirements was some type of good blogging software. Since several of the hosting companies I was considering offered WordPress blogging software, I figured I should check out the functionality before comitting. The thing is, once I saw all the things I could do with this free online solution, I put off all the programming required for building a site, and here I am.

I wonder how many non-programmers understand how important “Hello world!” has been to the world of technology.
