    Title or Location: Spiraling
    This photo was taken at my home, on my outside balcony. I had a bouquet of Crysanthemums in my home. The way this particular flower was opening up and blooming reminded me of a spiraling circle. I took this photo with my Nikon Coolpix L830 on the macro setting. I brought this flower out on the balcony to pick up the natural light of the day on this flower. It still remains one of my favorite photos.

    Title or Location: This Still Life Photograph of "Grapes, Strawberry's and Wine" was taken in my bedroom in Orange County California.
    This image is a Still Life Composition of "Berries, Wine and Grapes" that I created on a rainy day in my bedroom. I used no fancy Studio Lighting at all. My only light source was a hand-held flashlight that I kept moving rapidly. It was an experiment in Light Painting when I couldn't go outside to shoot.
