Reeds

In my photographs I have found that sometimes its not the individual subject that makes the photograph but the colors and patterns it makes as a whole. This was especially poignant in this photograph I captured of some water reeds near a pond at the riparian preserve in Gilbert, AZ. I captured this photograph with my canon XTi and processed it in photoshop.

Monsoon Clouds

Before I moved to Arizona I truthfully had no idea what a monsoon was, or that they even took place anywhere in the U.S.. After living here in Arizona for only a year I have learned the importance, power, and beauty of the monsoon season. I captured this photograph with my canon XTi at sunset after a late afternoon thunder storm in July.

Cats Eyes

I once read somewhere that if you can keep an animals eyes in focus it can make the difference between a simple photograph and a great photograph. I captured this photograph of the family cat J.J. with my canon XTi and processed it in photoshop.
