I’ve never been much of a fan of still life paintings, but for some reason, I love still life photography. There is no doubt that the owner of this boat is a fisherman. The colors are bright and it’s just a peaceful scene from the Shimokita Peninsula in northern Japan.

In India, everywhere you look is a piece of art. I just love it. I doubt that the owner of the bicycle picked this spot so travelers like me would have something beautiful to photograph.
This portrait of a woman in a small town in Jordan, not too far from Petra, is one of my favorites of that trip. I love the pinkish columns and the contrast with her black clothes.
The other thing it makes me think of is the perception of many Westerners, sometimes myself included, that [...]

Now see….if I could just draw or paint or even have one teensy bit of art talent in my chubby fingers, I wouldn’t have to use this effect. Whaddaya think?
One day we were wandering through Juneau, after getting off the ferry, and we happened upon this majestic guy outside the state capital building. Isn’t he the cutest? He was already a bronze color, but I thought the whole picture could do with a bronze overtone. Too much? Should you try to art [...]
