One of the most touching photos I've taken. It's a forest which was planted to mimic the Argon, during World War I, made to become a Memorial to the Veterans of the first Great War. The trees are alive and scared. I cannot locate this place again. I just know it's in Southern New Jersey.
Taken from the Photo Blog Archive, where there are many more photos of this Memorial Park.
What exactly this is, I won't tell. However I bet thousands of people see it every day; and never even thing about how beautiful it really is. The design behind this is clearly beautiful.

A perfect example of how depth of field can completely make a background become insignificant. The statue is clearly the dominant figure in this photo. Having a fast lens allows this to happen.
This week, I found little pockets of time to upload a slew of photos to my Instagram account. I've decided to post those photos on here.
Now these photos were taken with various cameras, including my iPhone, a Leica and Mamiya.
I once heard something which made me think of taking this photo. It was said by a blind man. He said: "I can see better than sighted people. If they can see better than I, why do they trip over things right in front of them."
Updating my site to the latest server software was something I was hesitant about doing. I kept bouncing it back and forth. I weighed the good and the bad points. In the end, I believe change won the argument all by itself. I can hold on to the past or embrace the future.
With the PND Photo Expo in 2 weeks, I decided to place some more stock in my hardware. One of the pieces I acquired was a Canon 100mm macro EF 2.8L lens. I purchased the lens from a very talented photographer, named Robert. I'm leaving out his last name as I have not told him about his making my new entry on the first day my site went live....
Live? Well it's been live for a few months now. I just finally took of the dust cover. As you can see I already have content (below) from some time back. This site took a lot of testing. In the end I hope you will love it.
Back to Robert selling me his 100mm macro. After finding out that Robert shot some very precious photos with the very lens he was selling me, I was very eager to go out and shoot with it. Unfortunately I had a shoulder operation earlier in the year which prevents me from holding my heavy Canon 5D mark II, battery grip and attached 100mm macro 2.8L lens in my right hand.
I am taking it easy... if you will. But as I become stronger, I was able to start carrying the heavier stuff... In the end... I offer you this photo for your inspection. I hope you are honest with yourself and with me.
