Instagram a Day: Day 8

After completing this project for a whole week I almost forgot to take a photo on day 8. Driving somewhere at dusk I snapped this photo of a large enclosed electrical outpost area. That’s the technical term you know. Due to the low light and movement it created an abstract effect. I love the giant

Three more random shots. 299 is of a necklace my Mom got for me for Christmas. It is a tree with a disk that has my daughter’s name on it. I need to get one made with my son’s name too. That way both my children will be close to my heart. I won’t mention

Sometimes it was successful, other times not. This particular technique, used in the first two images, is something I came across just

This was a totally random shot. I was at my son’s baseball game in the crazy June heat of Central Texas. It was so unbearable and our seats where in the setting sun. All you could do was drink water and take it. I had my telephoto lens on the camera, so getting a shot

My web cam continues to deteriorate. I was testing it out this day to see if I could get it to look better than the blurry smudge it looks like now. When you live half the country away from your family it is nice to use Skype to talk, but when your video feed looks
