    Laurel J.'s Interests
General



Photography

I want to show you the world
that I see.



" . . . I've fallen in love with taking photographs. The sun lays its light on whatever it meets, and I have only to raise my camera to my eye and put a frame around what's given to me."

The Stain on the Sky, Susan Moon


***

You come from far away
With pictures in your eyes
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
In the blue and silent sunrise

But night is the cathedral
Where we recognized the sign
We strangers know each other now
As part of the whole design

-- Gypsy, Suzanne Vega

About me:

I am a photographer. I see in photographs, all the time and everywhere. I'm here on MySpace to share my work and ask for feedback, critique, advice, suggestions. All comments are welcome, and I'll do the same for you if you like.

My camera is a Nikon D50, with a Nikkor 18-55 mm lens and a Nikkor 60 mm 2.8 AF macro, as well as a UV haze protection filter. I use available, natural light as much as possible, no flash. I don't use Photoshop or any other image manipulation beyond cropping and rarely conversion to b/w.

I'm also at JPG Magazine.

Thanks for your interest!

Laurel

Je Maverick?!? Is that doddering old fart still smelling up the internet, with his rectal poetry? 'Cor blimey... ANYWAY- if you weren't so bloody HTML-phobic I'd have left you a toon for your natal anniversary, but alas it is not to be.... have a nice day anyway! Don't even think about the fact that you're 84 years old now. Why I--AAACCCCKKKK!!!! (Je Maverick's note- That'll be enough of that.)

I made my first video slideshow and wanted to share it with you. The musician (Elizabeth Ann Middleton) is one I found through MySpace, and she generously let me use her music to set to my images. Visit her MySpace page here - http://www.myspace.com/pianorama - she's fantastic! :-)
