Another GREAT one...

When Jack London had his portrait made by the noted San Francisco photographer Arnold Genthe, London began the encounter with effusive praise for the photographic art of his friend and fellow bohemian, Genthe. "you must have a wonderful camera...It must be the best camera in the world...You must show me your camera." Genthe then used his standard studio camera to make what has since become a classic picture of Jack London. When the sitting was finished, Genthe could not contain himself: "I have read your books, Jack, and I think they are important works of art. You must have a wonderful typewriter." - Anonymous

Christmas Day Fun

B/W

This puts into words why I am so drawn to the black/white image:

When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in B&W you photograph their souls. - Ted Grant

My Little Elf

I just adore her fun little spirit!

Love it!

Jesus would have been one of the best photographers that ever existed. He was always looking at the beauty of people's souls. In fact Jesus was constantly making pictures of God in people's life by looking at their souls and exposing them to His light. - Francis Bacon

When I work, and in my art, I hold hands with God. - Robert Mapplethorpe

Nature: To-Go?

This dear child was doing her dead-level best to yank this vine from where it was rooted to take it home with us. She pulled with all her might, yet the plant just wouldn't yield. I thought it was cute. (Yeah, I am sure that's a big surprise...)

The Girl Loves To Play

...and I love to watch her play.

Lil' Cutie

This is my littlest niece at Thanksgiving. She is so precious...but a crafty little stinker. You gotta watch out for this one!

Twinkle

I love the twinkle in her eyes. She was hanging out in her jammies all cute and snuggly.

Could she be any more adorable? Uh, no.
