Edge of Blue
You've seen mention here of PhotoChallenge.org - a site that runs various photo challenges to help inspire us all to take more pictures. This year they are doing a challenge to shoot a specified theme every day of the year. Now I don't know who is crazy enough to take a good picture everyday for an entire year, but I managed to at least take one this day in which the theme was "Half".

Close Encounter
The annual fireman's carnival is a very big event in our very small town. For the kids it is a chance to ride some rides that are scary for the wrong reasons. For me it is chance eat a delicious pit beef sandwich and take some long exposure shots. Sure, I get strange looks for carrying around my tripod, but I also get strange looks when I don't so it is not a big deal.

Northern Crosses
Think about how many times
I have fallen
Spirits are using me
larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten.

Straight To Your Heart
Nothing like a little trespassing to get you where you need to be to take the shot. This is the tunnel at Harper's Ferry. For law abiding citizens there is a fence that ruins the shot - you can see it on the right. Shelley has a similar shot (and by similar, I mean better).

Hold Out Your Hand
This was one of those spur of the moment shots. While sitting at my desk, for some reason I can no longer recall, I held my hand up and liked how the light from the window was hitting it. My camera was handy (intended) so I picked it up and took this shot. Just a bit of post processing, and there you go.

My Photography Bucket List
After reading my brother's photography bucket list, I decided to do one of own. So here is a list of shots I hope to take before I die.
Two old guys playing chess or checkers in a park
Person walking five or more dogs at once
A bear in the wild
A German bar-maid carrying five or more liters of beer
A picture in 25 different countries (8 complete so far)
Lightning
A $2 portrait
A water drop
An excellent panning shot
The Northern Lights
The view from a hot air balloon
