On the beach

A few weeks ago I was in Brazil on a trip with my church to minister to folks on the Amazon River. I was able to take a good many portraits of kids and their parents. This young man's family lived in a house boat tied up at a sand bar on the river. Nikon D70 & Nikkor 18-200 at 180mm, 1/250s, f5.6, & ISO 640

Monarch Munch

It must be that time of year, because these fat Monarch caterpillars devoured the leaves on these flowers.

Orange Camouflage

Yes, I understand its a bit of an oxymoron. But if you were the Gulf Fritillary butterfly with the job of pollinating these orange flowers without getting eaten by a bird, I think orange would be your color.

Mama

I have been wanting to learn to do formal portraits for some time now. A friend from work loaned me a nice backdrop, I found a very patient model, and here we go.
