Roots

Trees are amazing things to me. They can float in the ocean for years, they can withstand powerful storms, and they can create such a delicate thing as paper. In northern WI and MN, I traveled to many tourist filled areas. The thing that stuck out the most to me were not just the trees, but their roots. Vulnerable and exposed, they seemed to travel across the ground trying to catch something. These roots were at Gooseberry Falls.

Dragonflies

I got a Canon Rebel XTi Digital camera with a micro lens and was actually frustrated with my purchase. Then one day, basking in the beautiful sun by the pool, this dragonfly got stuck in the pool and I saved it and let it dry off. He took his time to let the wind, and his own little hands, dry him off. He was a great model :)

Early Darkroom Pictures

I love being in the darkroom. It's almost like therapy. Even though it can bring up huge rages in me, it teaches me to be patient. These pictures are from my high school photography experience.
