Two Nikon SB-700 Speedlights were used at a 45 degree angle to the lens to freeze this water drop (you can see the highlights in the image)

Its very rare these days to see older wooden boats still in operation so when I ran across this one I just had to take an image of the wheelhouse.

A Safe Sleep

Fujifilm X-T1 and Fujinon XF 60mm f/2.4 R Macro Lens – 1/1100 @ f/2.4 – ISO 200
While taking some Autumn leaf photos in the park recently I noticed this woman walking two Dalmatians. Being I am a dog lover I had to stop her and play with the dogs before taking a photo of one of them. This little girl is 10 years old.
Lambs Ear
Black And White Photography, Joseph, Photography
Sony RX100 Mk 1 (compact camera) in macro mode – 1/100 @ f/4.5
To me photography is not always about beautiful scenic landscape images. It’s about simple every day things. What attracted me to the leaf of this Lambs Ear plant was the shape of it. It looks like it was sticking it’s tongue out at me 🙂

Fallen
Black And White Photography, Joseph, Photography
Nikon D610 and Nikkor 24-85mm AF-S G VR lens – 1/250 @ f/5.6 – ISO 400
“Fallen Fireman”
Rest now my fallen brother
Lay soft your suffering back
Rest well and forever
Your memory shall not lack
Rest your tired hands
Wipe clean your weary brow
Rest with St. Florian
Your spirit now endowed
Rest here your breaking heart
We know you gave your all
Rest easy, you’ve done your part
You’ve answered your last call
Rest knowing that in god we sought
Oh lord, watch over another who just fell
Rest assured your troubled thought
As we ring the final bell.

Nikon D610 and Nikkor 180mm f/2.8 IF-ED AF-D lens – 1/800 @ f/4.0
I have always liked photographing side lit objects for the increased texture and exaggerated shadows.

“The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?”
