This is my favorite photo of all! There is a wild red rose by my kitchen door. Late one afternoon, I was clipping tired blooms from the clusters; some clusters were hanging down. As I reached for this one to turn it over, a glimpse of gold flashed in the low sun. I looked again and discovered this tiny little frog napping in the heart of the bloom. I had only the negative and a small digital file from a scan, and it has taken me a month to get it into the appropriate high-resolution format where I can finally offer it for sale!

In Cappadocia, a local vendor covered this old branch with evil eye beads. His shop sits on a hill above the village of Uçhisar castle, carved into the volcanic tuff of the region. The evil eye beads I remember from my time in Turkey had yellow in them, unlike most of the ones we saw during our journey. They became talismans to conquer what ancient civilizations feared, such as nighttime dark, storms, earthquakes and eclipses. The blue symbolizes the sky, the white is the aura of the moon, the yellow is the sun disc, and the black spot in the middle is that little bit of evil eating away at the light. In Turkey, the belief is that evil eye beads ward off the effects of the “evil eye,” such as envy or jealousy, and bounce back any curses or ill will. You will see an evil eye bead pinned to the clothing of an infant, hanging from the rear view mirror of a vehicle, decorating the harness of a horse, painted on the back of a big truck/lorry, placed over a doorway… If it breaks, it has done its job and should be thrown away.

In creating this image I wanted to create a strong mood. I used a lamp with a clip on the end and clipped it to the shower curtain rod. I pointed it down at the subject. Put the camera on a tripod. Converted to black and white and experimented with contrast and effects.

I took this whilst on holiday in the South of France. We had spent the day on the beach (not my ideal holiday activity) but as the sun began to set I watched this yacht tacking, it was a race between the yacht and the sunset to select the best moment to fire the shutter….I think I got it right.

This image is part of Erin’s challange here / This is one of my favorite images because it brings back fond memories of my childhood. / When I grew up, I lived in a nice neighborhood, mostly composed of middle to upper middle class families. Just before my teen years, my family bought a farm. From that day forward, we were out on the farm hoeing blue grass, driving either our large tractor (case) or the smaller Ford, driving combine and driving truck. I could barely reach the pedals on most of the equipment (I had to sit way forward in the seat to drive the trucks). / This old Ford tractor was one I spent hundreds of hours on. Discing, plowing, mowing and cultivating among other things. I used to come back from the fields looking like one big dust ball. / That is why this image is so important to me. It helps relive some of my best (and worst) childhood memories.

This photo was taken in Las Vegas for a photo competition which I placed 2nd in! It was taken in the bone yard of all the old signs of Vegas casinos. It was a fun and interesting shoot. The blur was done in camera.

Sunset outside of Pahrump, Nevada, USA. It was our second day driving from San Francisco and we were fairly eager to get to Las Vegas when this amazing lightshow presented itself in the rearview mirror. Needless to say, we stopped the car. A couple of days later, I learned that the portable hard-drive we were using had falsely indicated my photos from that day had been saved but actually HADN’T been. Fortunately, I make a habit of always keeping a dozen or so favourite images from every day on my cards just in case anything happens to my backup devices. This was one of four shots of that sunset I’d kept. (Phew!) This photo was originally posted under the title “Pahrump Sunset”, I’ve revived it as a result of ECGardners favworks challenge, to post five of my personal favourite shots. This is a favourite, because I know I’d always have memories of that sunset even if ALL the images had been lost, but damnit I’m glad it survived!

The bunkhouse is reflected in the old flowing glass of a door in the oldest wing of the Casa. The reflection is further distorted through the screen door. In the early 1800s, ranch hands lived in the bunkhouse. Currently, a ranch employee lives there with his family.

This is a photo in response to ECGardners Challenge. / I used to do a lot of horse riding in the ranges around Rubicon and surrounding area. This camp site is Number 5. This was my first 2 day ride and I was so excited. As you can see we had a big tarp attached to the open shed, in the middle is a camp fire and around the outside are hay bales. We didn’t sleep in tents but around the fire on the bales or the ground which had the old rubber army ponchos laid out. The food was fantastic and some drinking took place to numb some people anatomy. I met my husband on this ride. / There are yards that the horses are kept in, and a great thunder box that was built for giants. There was a large rock so you could put your feet on. It’s not easy to sit on a toilet when your feet can’t touch the ground. A stubby top was nailed to the door incase the toilet paper ran out. i have such fond memories of the place and of all the photos I have this has to bee my favourite.
