I’m looking through you…

  I know I’ve been awol… but considering I’ve been running this blog for a good 5 years now, I guess a little time off from time to time is in order… Though I never intended it to be a personal blog, it has, in a sense been very personal, seeing me through some major

Seagull in Seaweed

Working on some new techniques to get my images as sharp as they can be… and I was going for the full detail in the seaweed and the gull… Pretty good, though there’s still room for improvement. And… it’s a pretty nice gull. In some pretty cool seaweed…
