i found your art intriguing this morning. how about a similar shot of a soccer ball or football. I'd love to see what a few logos shot tightly would look like. Cool stuff man

Ivor,
As a former professional photographer, may I say that.....
You continue to astound me with your magnificient compositions! Whether the subject is a portrait, a landscape, a bee, or a cotton swab, your eye for beauty is sublime!
Keep up the good work!
I have never seen better photographs.

One reason why keeping art in the public school is so critical - It teaches people to see. To truly look for the beauty in simple things. To look at things differently and from all sides. To imagine, visualize and convey what things can become.
If we can find beauty like you have in simple things that people ignore every day and pass over - like a Que Tip or the threads on a baseball - think about what we can find if we look at each other, different cultures, the homeless man on the street or a park perched on a cliff? Think of the power of truly being able to see things.
Your pictures are beautiful and inspire me. Thanks for posting them.

Good points, Lynn,
Now,
If we could only teach the Democrat to see the beauty in the Republican...
and teach the Republican to see the beauty of the Democrat...
and then, teach the liberal and the conservative...
the religions, the races...and so on...
There is real beauty to be found, when people get close up...

I couldn't agree more....with the exception of the knuckle hair.

thanks for the kind words.
I took a few more pictures of eyes and things like that....more human. I'll get a soccer ball since I'll be at the varsity soccer game at LHS Stadium (7pm) tonight.
I had my first day of work with the Indians today, and I can get used to calling LHS Alumni Bob DiBiasio's office as my HQ. We had a suprise fire drill today, so that was a new experience.
more photos to come!

Igor -
It's great seeing the world through your eyes.
The pictures are tremendous.
What's the last one? At first I thought it was Jim O'Bryan's nose, then I realized that his mustache is only below his nose, not above it too.
