i notice i take the same pictures over and over - not sure if it is healthy or not. i *think* what is at work here is that when i do this, i am trying for a picture i can kind of see in my head, but am still trying to capture - i've done that previously with dandelions - not it seems to be the kalilily. a difference here is i am manipulating the photos quite a bit. i don't feel guilty about manipulating images since i read how in one of answl adams most famous photos, he removed cluds. of course, it required much more skill when the effects were done in a darkroom, but hey, i have the tools and i am going to use them.

i've been listening to henry kaiser - an outstanding musician that is also an accomplished deep sea diver. as a software developer that has become a teacher that loves to take pictures, i love to read of a person that refuses to be pigeon-holed - for whom the line between profession and fun have blurred...

here is the full set of kalilily photos
