Snowpocalypse in Columbia, SC

This is definitely the 2nd most snow I've ever been in. We had four inches as of 8 PM Eastern 2/12/2010.

Rather than lug my big camera out, I did a few shots off our balcony. We took the point & shoot out and it did just fine.

Strange

If you've flipped through my flickr photostream, you'd know that my interests and tastes have changed frequently. I guess as I change, the types of photography I'm decent at change, too. I started out doing a lot of nature photography, and I got a lot of comments from flickr users.

I did a whole mess of Civil War reenactment photography, and flickr folks loved it!

I did a good bit of photographing old, abandoned places, and got a lot of feedback from that too.

But I went back to nature photography due to the winter storms. I've noticed that those pictures haven't gotten half the hits or comments, and I'm just now realizing why. Why bother looking at something half the country can go outside and see themselves? Not everyone can attend a Civil War reenactment; not everyone can have the luxury of driving through Ridgeway, South Carolina. I think as long as I can capture and present something unique and uncommon, I'll be doing just fine.

Ideas

I love it that when I can't sleep, I'm inundated with ideas for photo shoots. Trouble is, seems like it's becoming increasingly difficult to make these photo shoots happen. I liken my brain to a jar of marbles where each marble is a great idea I just can't seem to make happen for various reasons (but mostly due to money!).

Night Photography

Since we've been snowed in here in Tennessee, I had a chance to work on my night time photography. Here's a picture I took that I really like, even though it is a little dark.
