To start with, this photo is very reminiscent of a 60s Life magazine photo. The black and white contrasts well with the subject. The sc...

There is something very alluring about this photo... not being able to see the face or the appendages in a crisp look perhaps. I am lov...


This triptych caught my eye because of the subject, color, and feel. Having worked and lived in NE California I've seen this landscape ...

I have been looking at this photo off and on for days now since it was posted to dA. I have been pondering how to describe my feeling t...

Prints that screamed "BUY ME!!!!!"

These prints really called out to me. Unfortunately, I am not Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, or even Joe-the-Plumber (his business was supposedly good for what $250k a year?)... so I cannot buy every print that I'd love to... so many great artists and photographers here.

Moved to Las Vegas for a job 2 years ago. Definitely getting some resume material, and learning about myself as a photographer as well. Las Vegas has an interesting palette of high end living as well as absolute poverty. It has made me look at life much differently.

I am a ex-military guy who is about as liberal as they come (not the rabid, frothing at the mouth type... well not always) working in the environmental world.

I've just given birth... to a new group! :lmao:

Everywhere-Signs

And like a new parent, it takes a lot of learning to raise that child... I am bumbling my way around the Admin section of my new group flipping options on and off in hopes of getting it right :lol:



Living in Las Vegas one can't turn around without bumping into a vivid neon sign or billboard... and yet I saw very few options on dA related to signs.

There is a wonderful group associated with neon and painted signs, but I wanted to go further... Neon signs, painted signs, incandescently lit signs, signs painted on vehicles, street signs, and goofy signs posted in in windows.

Of course I like things artfully done, so I am hoping to see a flurry of very well photographed signs.

So the invitation is out there... come visit, drop off a couple photos, join the ranks!

Thanks!
