I have a friend whom collects swords for a hobby. I was lucky enough to attend a lecture he gave on the subject he holds so dear. I think this shot shows a little of that passion shinning through.

This must be the traffic jam that time forgot. Just after the zombie apocalypse.

The Zombies are gone now there is only the vehicles again rusting back to earth.

One from my Car cemetery series. I re-visited my album and found the shots that deserve a second look. I liked this one I shot with an old 20mm manual lens on my D800 worked out well I think.

Taken while wandering around at a Sunday morning market in city of  Ghent in Belgium. I loved this couple deep in conversation checking out the old postcards. The guy looks like a great character to me. I didn’t want to get too close so this is a heavily cropped shot.The D800 makes it easy to do with the large image files it produces.

I took this shot an an abbey in Belgium this past autumn. I really didn’t think much of it until I got home and put it up on my screen. There are just so many contrasts and textures in this shot I just wanted to share it. What makes the shot for me is the grain in the water butt and the stone wall. The watering can just adds a little something to the shot.The ferns providing a soft framework.
