green bottle and friends
Sometimes the things that people collect can and organize can really become great eye candy.
We were staying at a really nice little cottage just outside New Braunfels, Texas this past summer. Of course we were there to float the Guadalupe River. My wife and I, along with some of our closest friends, had a such a great time.
Really needed that escape from the dry deserts of West Texas.
The cottage had so much personality. Lot’s of little trinkets to photograph. Used my camera quite a bit while we were there.

You can find patterns in all sorts of places. It’s one of the wonders of looking at life through a lens.
One of the biggest aspects of photography that appeals to me as an artist is the limit of view or vantage point that photography offers. The constraints of having to work inside a box. It’s ironic when I think about it. I often colored outside the box as a child. Cliche? Perhaps.

Photograph of small flower patch in black and white.
I usually don’t photograph flowers or botanical scenes but we were taking the kiddos to the park and one of our neighbors had some flowers in their garden. You gotta love how friendly our older Midland, TX neighborhood is. At least we do.
Tegann (our oldest) was really drawn to theses little flowers and Heather (my wife) had been asking for some black and white prints for our bedroom.
Her request was for something in the realm of calming and soothing as we work on making our bedroom a place of relaxation and serenity.
I really enjoyed how the blur of the grass and flower stems at this focal length with a large aperture sort of melts into the top left of the photograph. Reminded me of smoke. Hence the title of this photograph.
