Leaf lines, originally uploaded by semillerimages.

I swear I did not put this leaf there.

I found it just like that.

I have a witness :)

I had an appointment this evening on the other side of town, and I debated momentarily whether I should take my camera or not - which is weird thing for me because I take my camera everywhere. My inner photographer won out of course... and I got out of the car, started walking toward the door and I saw it. I thanked every primal force and invoked all of the Gods that exist that I had my camera and my favorite 50mm f2.5 macro lens with me.

Down to the ground I went, amazed at my amazing luck and snapped pics until the shadow on the left (cast by a building) covered up the shadow of the leaf. Amazing serendipity... thanks to whoever and whatever for this addition to my street art series.

3.9.2006 - Avila Beach
Freezing on the bluffs, I was waiting for the color which never came. Winds were pumping at 30 MPH and these two fisherman were on the beach. Right after I shot this image, the fisherman dragged in two sizeable fish on his line. I yelled 'YEAH!', he looked up, I gave him the thumbs up. He smiled.

A closeup, considering this medium does no justice to really looking at the images.

October 2005 - Portland, In all the turmoil of the city, sights and sounds, I was about to cross the street and his gaze out the window caught my eye. His mother was probably shopping, and it goes without saying he most likely would have rather been elsewhere.

October 2005 - Portland, shot from the passenger seat of my friend's car. This is one of those images that simmer on the hard drive, waiting to come out someday... it finally did.
