Hometown like i've never seen.

My father recently took me and my mother to a huge graveyard tucked into downtown Memphis. I had never seen the place, nor had ever passed by it, heard of it or seen pictures of it. But as soon as i entered, i was in love. Yeah, i know it's a little weird to enjoy being in a graveyard, but there is something so beautiful, silent and peaceful about it. I know i'm not the only one that thinks that. Here are a few shots of our visit and a couple from Beale, this first one is my favorite. A husband and wife, laid to rest together for eternity in love, under pillars of marble.

Can someone please "unattend" me?

do it to it.

I think this is the first time i've ever caught a whale jumping on camera. granted, i had my 28/200 lense at full zoom and then cropped the images to a tiny photo and stuck them all together so you could get the full effect, so they are pretty awful images but it was such a great experience i had to put them up. it was wonderful.
Our annual shrimp bowl.... it was amazing. we ate until we hurt. fresh shrimp. amazing.
Going on an adventure through the city today and saw some printed bills on the street... i do believe that would be illegal.... but you know, just a guess. :-)

So this last image is of Le Fort, condos and ultimate dining experience. When i was 18, i lived there for a month and the chef that owns the complex, had a dinner where the owner of Double Bubble attended. So yeah, i had dinner with the owner of Double Bubble.... i straight up had dinner with gum royalty. :-) i'll forever ask myself why i didn't maximize on that opportunity.

and the fire sets.

tonight's sunset was beautiful. i took the two shots in this diptych as they are, i didn't edit them or anything, the colors are as i shot them, the one on the right was about an hour before the sun set. i just love this one. the sunset was just on fire tonight.

The Sun and Moon.

Tonight's sunset was beautiful and last nights full moon was spectacular, here are a few shots from what I saw. I must admit that I'm a little proud of the shots i got of the full moon, maybe the sharpest i've gotten and without a tripod at about 3 o'clock in the morning (too much coffee), still i'll try and get better as i learn more.

I tried to write my name with the moon. Long exposure fun.
