Fierce

While walking down the streets of Hot Springs Arkansas

Sad but true, and Burnt

Bittersweet image(s)

(of course more bitter than sweet, but memories make it sweet somehow)


Here I show you the remains of Old Fort Chaffee, Fort Smith, Arkansas.
It was (set) on fire Tuesday Jan 29th, and my guess is that 80% of the
old and abandoned barracks are gone now.


I saw this, and didn't know what to think..
It was there and gone, yet, it didn't hit me like I thought it would.
At least I was glad to see that not every single building is gone
and the way that the chimneys stand up bare is interesting,
makes theplace look like a war zone w/o the dead people.


I am going to miss it whatever happens to it.
It Served me as the really cool backdrop for many of the pictures
I have taken in the past, and I was not done there,
I was not ready to give it up.
I do hope it remains as it is,
although, unlikely to happen.

The force of Nature......Really ?

It's the middle of January, yet, it feels like April.
Kids are out, going to the skating park and it really feels like
April. Yes, I already mentioned that, but it does.
It has been a lazy Sunday, sun is out and finding nothing
better to do, the skating park offered a few minutes of
distraction, the kind that makes you wonder what are you
doing there in the first place, but yet, there was nothing
better to do.

Close enough, but Not December yet

Lights ? check
Christmas Music ? check
Malls full of People ? check
Horrible traffic? check

Of course, even days before Black Friday, most of what's listed
brings the "joy" of the holidaze, the true meaning of Christmas.
We survive it every year, and we all get the usual sweater
as a Christmas present we ALL been wanting to have so bad.
And I sound all negative and all, but not really feeling that way
just certain things annoy me around this time, and it's usually
things that other people do.

Strike a Pose

The need of knowing how to pose someone.
Spent last weekend in Saint Louis, MO. meeting with some Mpix members for a photo shoot and a seminar. It was a great experience, educational for sure.
The model was great, she is a pro and a natural as well, it was definitely motivational to take her pictures.
I was glad to meet some great people too (Mpixers).

Special Thanks to Joel Culberson for the Picture.

The Colors of the Season

It has been said before probably a 100,000 times
There's something about the colors that this season brings
that makes you want to get out and feel the brisk air,
watch the leaves, see the trees and yes...
take a few pictures too.
