Just popping in to let all you photographers know how much I appreciate your talent!

Photography is one of the few passions I have left in life. I have sold work in a gallery before, but am really more interested in photography for the pleasure it gives me rather than the monetary value to be gained from it. I began photographing years ago to acquire subjects for paintings I wanted to do. Over time, I found photography to be a more creative medium for me and I gave up painting and took up photography.
My favorite subjects are architectural, abandoned buildings, roadside americana (cafes, gas stations, motels, tourist traps). My most recent project for the last few years has been documenting the small towns of Texas which I call Rural Texas in the 21st Century and currently contains about 2000 images. My camera choices are an old Nikon FG film camera which takes wonderful pictures despite being old and has the advantage of being used either fully manually or fully auto which greatly expands your creativity. I also have a Nikon coolpix digital which I love equally for its ease of use and ability to preview your shots. I have also worked with medium format and larger cameras. My favorite photographers tend to be the older documentary style people like the WPA photographers of the 30's/40's. People like Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Margaret Bourke White and such. Probably my all time favorite is a frenchman named Brassai. He was from the same time period and did a lot of night photography. His book, The Secret Paris of the 30's, is a wonderful read in which he photographed the seamier side of life from prostitutes, to dance halls and his pictures of a lesbian bar with women dressed in tuxedos enjoying their evenings are fabulous and certainly worth a look. :fastdraq: |

Do you have your work on a site where we can have a peek? |
Unfortunately no website, its all either on my computer or in boxes and boxes of negatives.

Sharing one of my favorites that I was lucky enough to capture this week. Enjoy! PM me if you'd like to see more from the set.

I don't know much about photography. I don't know the jargon, the ins and outs, or much of anything on the technical aspect. All I know is that when I have a camera in my hand, life is good. :)
I usually prefer nature and wildlife shots, but some architectural and still object shots are fun too. Most of mine are just taken around my yard and in the field behind my house. I generally use simple contrast enhancements because that's just what I like to see when I hang them on my wall. I use Lightroom3 or Picasa when I do adjustments. I honestly have no idea how to make them turn out as beautiful as the ones I've seen from the folks on this thread, but I'm learning as I go along. :) Here is a link to some of mine. You may need to start on the last page and go forward, because the ones on the first page are kinda sucky. Well, for all I know they may all be kinda sucky, but that's ok too. LOL :D http://www.flickr.com/photos/crystalds79/ |
Great shots, Dixie! I especially love the one with rusty car.
I just love that cemetery shot Fancy; work's perfect in sepia. Here is a person shot I took outside of Harrisburg, PA a few weeks ago. In honour of Mother's day here are two of my most favourite maternity shots to date. Gah, I would just love to photograph mama-to-be's for a living. Tick Tock and Vroom Vroom |
