Yesterday and Today

Winter's Work

I just downloaded the software DXO . for those who have never used it , it is a RAW file processing software. so far I like it and while it adds another step to my processing workflow it also gives me a wider range . 

Since I plan on spending the winter fine tuning my processing skills so that hopefully within a few months I will have develop an integrated flow that is easy and consistent using all the software within my computing arsenal.

There is a lot of work ahead for me before next summer and if we have anything this winter like Buffalo had yesterday I'll be grounded anyway's. 

I promise this is the last edit. finished up using luminous mask .

Welcome to New York

This has potential. 

Winter Comes Early

Cherry Plain State Park

three from this morning.

Kaaterskill Falls

cold and wet today I took a hike up to Kaaterskill Falls . while a short hike , it can be a dangerous hike in good weather as a matter of fact people are hurt and killed here all the time. 

on the way up I noticed these sneakers hanging from a tree. I sure hope they had another pair , it's a long walk without any foot wear.

as it turns out this is the only photo I came away with that I like . Well I guess at least I got out and shot. 

out playing

Between Coats

for the last two months I have been busier then I can remember for years and years, trying to finishing remodeling and painting before the first of the year. at present I'm between coats taking a little rest. 

hopefully I'll be able to actually get out and photograph before the winter sets in. until then here is a photo from awhile back .

Happy Halloween everyone!

5 day challenge

recently I was nominated to take a 5 day B/W challenge . so now that it is finished here are the 5 photos I uploaded for that little thingy.

Enjoy.

Give Peace a Chance

This is the part I don’t understand about Islam or any of the other religions for that matter. Muhammad was a prophet with the word of God passed onto him through the Archangel Gabriel. And since his death in 632 they started killing each other over his teachings and control to just killing everyone and any one that doesn’t conform to their beliefs.

It very hard for me to believe any words from God could be understood in such a manner as we are seeing around the globe today. Especially since one of God’s commandments passed on to Moses is , “ You shall not kill” . I would hope Moses message from God, who is an important figure in both Christianity and Muslim religious beliefs  would be a little more powerful than say , Adu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

It seems to me that God has spoken but no one was listening.

Amen
