VPW – Theme – August – Extreme Close-up
This guy and three of his closest friends decimated two Banana Pepper and one Jalapeno plants in less than a week. We knew something was going on because we could see droppings around the container that the plants were in, but we thought it was a “critter” like birds, chipmunks, something like that. We didn’t [...]
VPW – Theme – August – In Shadow
I’ve always loved lightning pictures and figured one day I’d get around to trying to capture a few on my own. I haven’t done the first bit of research on the best way to do this, so there is no technical magic here at all. However, after going through this exercise and seeing what I [...]

VPW – Theme – Fantasy – Dinosaur
This is my entry for the Fantasy Theme for July. It’s a bronze dinosaur statue that I shot at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History while on a field trip with Lesli and Cooper. Below is the original. Don’t ask me about everything I did, I should have, but didn’t make notes. I promise I [...]
