Photography updates

This is me. As seen by my Olympus E-410. The eyes are the windows to the soul. What do you see when you look into my eyes? Is it anything really telling?
This shot was composed by me on a lazy Sunday afternoon when I felt like playing with my camera. I used my standard 14mm Zukio lens and the 12 second timer. Me, my head was propped up on a pillow as I lay on the couch. I took several shots and this one was one of my favorites. More self-portraits will be forthcoming.

In the meantime, I met a photographer on craigslist who wanted to put together a group to take night time photos throughout Philadelphia. I signed up quickly and the first outing I attended was beautiful. I was able to capture some extraordinary shots of City Hall and some of the buildings in center city. The infamous Clothespin was one of my first targets with my camera. I had a lot of fun and there are more night time outings being scheduled even as I type this. Sometimes I am amazed at the outcome of these pictures. I have always loved other people's photography because I didn't believe I would be able to do what they did, but here I am taking photos just as good as the ones I used to admire. These photos make me proud and encourage me to take more photos under different settings and in different areas. I will have fun with this photography group. Keep an eye out for more photos!
