Under a Gibbous Moon

This photo was taken at the aquarium in Camden, NJ. I don’t remember what kind of fish this was but it lives somewhere in the Amazon. It was just floating there staring and staring at me when I took this picture. No flash and a black and white filter give it the look of a monster peeking out of its lair.

I took this photo while sitting on the back porch of a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia. Like most of my really good pictures, I wasn’t trying very hard when I took it but the composition turned out perfectly. I gave it a kind of dark sepia filter with center weighted highlights.

I took this a a rather dreary day at a “pumpkin patch” a ways up north. The place was rather deserted and, despite being in current operation, looked as though it had been abandoned for the last couple of years. I was standing by one of their “attractions”, a gutted school bus that had been turned into a sort of playground, when I noticed a really nice looking cloud formation coming in that lined up well with the old fence and the abandoned looking carnival rides in the background. I washed out some colors while sharpening others to give it a nice retro aged look.

The most interesting thing about all three of these pictures is that they were all taken with a cellphone. No fancy cameras here. While they are certainly limited in the types of pictures that can be taken, a carefully framed photograph can still come out looking great.

Apparently, in an attempt to teach students fiscal responsibility, MasterCard has launched a new ad campaign.

Remember kiddies, if you want it now, just bill your parents!

Here is the penis of the hurricane.

Maybe we’ll have to reconsider naming hurricanes after women.

Noticed this the other day.

Wow, talk about idiot proofing the computer. I guess it could have been worse.
