Laurel J.

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

Tell me, what else should I have done?

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

" . . . I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme,
and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end.
Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.”
