Played with my 85mm f/1.8 to get some fun bokeh on this shot of the christmas lights.

Just an old stock photo I (tried) to sell … I think it was rejected for some reason or another but I like it …

Kinda fits with my whole theme of beautiful simplicity … to me anyway.

Sunrise San Mateo, originally uploaded by dotephotos.

This photo was taken as I looked back over the breakwater/trail I was standing on. The sun was in the perfect spot and what you’re looking at are the top of the breakwater rocks as the sun rises behind the breakwater.

Massive beams of selenite dwarf human explorers in Mexico’s Cave of Crystals, deep below the Chihuahuan Desert. Formed over millennia, these crystals are among the largest yet discovered on Earth.

Check out the photos in the photo gallery. These crystals are up to 37 feet long and they think they started growing 600,000 years ago, amazing!

Well these aren’t grapes but it looks like it to me … I think my parent’s are growing squash but grapes sounds so romantic compared to … squash.

Purple Pair, originally uploaded by dotephotos.

Digging back in my archives, this is one of my favorites. Not really visible unless you view the large version, the yellow pollen makes for a striking color contrast against the purple petals. Dunno what these flowers are but they’re beautiful. These were photographed in San Mateo, California.

Another in what I like to call, urban textures. Simple composition but rich with texture and color …

Three spots on the feathers of a peacock at the Honolulu Zoo. Love the texture and colors, too bad the peacock ate my food while I was distracted, those are some sneaky birds!

Ferris Wheel, originally uploaded by dotephotos.

I like refreshing changes of angle in a composition — this isn’t one. Overdone to death I know, but i like it nonetheless…

I love the tiny sun dappled areas in the rain forest where life takes hold over something that’s died and starts anew. I always wonder what little insects and bugs make their home here, in the nice green meadow of moss…
