Thanks to the group “Trees” featuring this shot.
Been a little slow on RB for me. Have been submitting some shots to a few challenges. Only my favorite and most viewed shot “The Wait” showing well in the challenges I entered. It always comes as a surprise to me to be featured especially when you are not in a challenge in the group you entered.
Thanks again to all those who have viewed my …

My favorite shot was featured again! Thanks to the group San Francisco for featuring this shot.
Been a little slow on RB for me. Have been submitting some new shots with disappointing results. So this comes a surprise to me to be featured when my only intent was to receive a few views and votes in a challenge that the group has put out.
Thanks again to all those who have viewed my pictur…

Thank you..Thank you..Thank you. It great, another older picture of mine has won in a group challenge and that people appreciate what I have seen and tried to reproduce.
“V” was 1st place in the challenge “Looking Up” in the group Vanishing Point.
Bit of a dry spell on RB with few commenting on new work, feels great to get votes at least.
Thanks to all of those who voted and/or at least…

Been a slow and uneventful few weeks with comments coming in, challanges not showing in, and was feeling kinda down.
Every now and then something sparks that creative urge in you. Firing up Red Bubble this morning and seeing that you have been Featured does that for me.
Will try after work for another shot that hopefully will spark interest, views, and a few comments (good or bad).

Two entries in recent challenges place in the top ten recently in Mood and Ambience group.
“The Wait” (my favorite and most viewed) has place 8th of 123 in the Bridges challenge.
“V” has place 4th of 83 in the Grids challenge.
Always glad to place in the top ten….especially when there are more than ten entries!

Just an acknowledgement that “Bathtime” was featured in Nature’s Reclamation group recently. Just something I threw out into the field to serve a purpose long ago. Has served it’s purpose and since has been grown over. Nice to take the shot to perserve it and to spark a memory.

What a feeling when I woke up this morning.
Opened up RB and there it was…..My picture “The Wait”. Has always been a picture I looked back to for many reasons. Remebering my youth, running around the country with my best friend, and a time of less responsibility.
Thanks to all that commented and viewed.
Hoping for a great day now!

Just a Christmas shot.
I wanted a picture that would remind me of this past Christmas.
Even though money was sparse this year, I still had family and friends around to share the Holidays with.
My girlfriend and I sat and sipped wine by the tree while listening to music of the season.
My daughter and boyfriend visited. They brought their dog, Tigger. Wasn’t as bad as I thought that w…

Thanks to all that voted for my picture in the challenge “A Tribute to My Father” Mood & Ambience -Strictly Photos group.
Although this is not one of my photos, (was 2 1/2 years old), my love for the art of photography has come from, in part, the man that you see in the picture. My Dad.
My mother also was a big inspiration and guide that help me improve in my quest for the perfect shot.
