I was kinda taken in with all the lines and squares going on in this shot. The green sign against the brick seemed cool, as well.
The sun sets over Houston, Texas, as caught in the reflection of The Omni Hotel.

Looking out, maybe wanting to be free, or maybe glad to be safe and sound from a scary world. Some special , lovingly crafted and treasured friends of my friend Betty. / Featured in ‘Stuck in a Box’ October 2009
I find competitions in Australia so funny and dodgy, not that i am taking anything away from the finalists of the Canon 5 Competion, however the four images that i entered 3 of them where the top 3 viewed images on the site and the 4th was 6th. Ok i did do some advertsing on the images through facebook. / . / Have a look at the images below / 1 Mine / mine / These where the finalists / eg1 / eg2 / eg3 / eg4 / . / Second one / 1 mine / mine / These where the finalists / eg1 / eg2 / eg3 / eg4 / . / I know this may sound like sour grapes but i believe everyone should be given a fair playing field. You think i would of learnt my lesson from last year, when there was multiple winners with the same name. / . / Tell me your thoughts I would be really interested, and its not only my work have a look at the canon five group you will see what i mean, the calibre of work is way higher then the judges have choosen. / . / Further more / This is a break down on percentages of the Canon 5 competion / We will take that there is 1 in 700 chance that you will get into the finals / If we increase the odds and say that the person gets, 2 images into the finals / basically it worked out this way 1/700 * 1/700 = 1 in 490,000 chance of happening. / . / Lets look at the second equation / We will take that there is 1 in 6000 chance that you will get into the finals for the first year / If we increase the odds and say that the person gets, 2 images into the finals for two years / basically it worked out this way 1/6000 * 1/6000 = 1 in 36,000,000 chance of happening. / . / And its not happening once or twice it happens over and over again in this competition

This is a poem I wrote for my son shortly after his demise. The foundation for his headstone had been poured as we waited the time for his youngest brother to build his headstone with the stones so familiar to his now lifeless hands. A headstone created from one of the many stones he handled throughout his life. As you can see, a wooden cross awaits the mason’s hammer and chisel. Till he is ready to build, this wooden cross held this poem of love for the caretakers’ purpose that was so gracious and kind to respect my wishes. Today is my son’s birthday / Please don’t take his memorial away / I thank you for the consideration you’ve shown / And this little piece of land, he can call his own / His life was somewhat lacking in some things / But he still knew how to cause your heart to sing / It seemed there was nothing you could do to him, / That he wouldn’t soon forgive / He valued the life, which God had given him to live / Though he no longer lives and feels the same things we do / His love is just as real and his memories are just as true / I know you may wonder why I spend so much time here / Beneath this clay, lye’s a most precious son, so dear / When I no longer am able to visit his grave / And beneath this same soil my body shall lay / There will hardly be visitors, to come here anymore / So, please give your indulgence as you have before / By this good deed being granted / May God bless every good seed, you have planted. I Love You My Precious Son / Love Always and Forever, Mother Sons are the heritage of the Lord; / Children are a reward from Him. / Psalms 127:3-5 Written and Composed By: / Nancy Bailey-Whitmore-Shields / Copyright 2005-2009

Back when smoking was cool, we used to practice being oh so sophisticated by walking around with a candy cigarette balanced on your lip. Fortunately we wised up. I tried one of these and they taste like chalk! Blech!
