Bite Me

To be honest, the studio cat and I collaborated on this photograph. He killed this insect, presented it to me... and I shot it. I have an old microscope objective that can be used for macro photography and that is how I got so close. The really amazing thing about this creature, to me anyway, is the colors. These are straight out of the camera.

Brightening Someone’s Day

It doesn’t have to be about you all the time, does it? Photography, I mean. Sometimes it can be okay to grab a photo or three that you know will bring a smile to someone else’s face. Just every once in a while. And frankly, getting a butterfly shot in decent focus can be rewarding even if you aren’t a bug person. That’s how I felt as I was chasing this little fellow. And, it works another part of your brain and confirms your ability to operate a camera.

Good light this weekend, fellow traveler.
