Yearning to be a Cowboy

This has to be my favorite image from the James Ranch Round Up in mid May. One of the cowboys sons was looking longingly across the meadow at his Dad as they were heading out to round up cattle. You could feel the pull that he had to be out there with his Dad. Through out the day this little eight year old kid proved his worth helping out wherever he could. I get the feeling that he is going to grow up to be a great cowboy like his Dad.

Do You Remember...

I am a sucker for old found negatives. I love it when I find an old negative because it's like a present. You never know what you will find when it comes up on the scanner. Sure you have an idea of what it is but you can't see the details until the image comes up. I guess it's sort of like working in the darkroom printing B+W prints. it's like magic when the image starts to come up in the developer.

Today when I was sorting the recycling I came across this old negative at the bottom of the recyclng container. How it got there one has to really wonder. It was all covered in sticky gunk and whatnot. I decided not to clean it up and I put it on the scanner as found. In the strip there was this image of my son Jay when he was a little boy. Obviously I really like it because it's my son.He waspretty cute.

God's precious love and blessings to all,

Portraits

A mixture of portraits over the past few days. When I got out of the car at Annika's friends house there was this cute cat wanting me to pet it so I obliged. As payment I took a few images. When I got home there were some mushrooms to be captured onto the cameras sensor.

God's love and blessings to all,
