the house tim burton built

This was an abandoned building in Bigelow, Arkansas. My shooting buddy thought the slant made it look like something out of a Tim Burton movie. I have to agree. I asked a friend to do an edit to make it look more like that.

ruffles

Flowers aren't my favorite thing. I just can't lie about that. I did get a new macro filter and wanted to test it out. I have to say flowers are a lot cooler up close.

I've seen pictures from the Parker-Hickman Homestead in Erbie, Arkansas before. When Zack and I explored the area I asked to stop by. I wanted to see the place for myself. It really is a cool little place, and it's nice that it's now preserved by the National Park system. Hopefully it will be here for others to enjoy for a long time.

95

This is the 95-foot tall Cedar Falls at Petit Jean State Park. This is probably the most popular waterfall in the state. I have at least two I like better, but I do think it's popularity is deserved. Even when the water is low this is a real beauty.

Hawkbill Crag in the snow!

This hike was a bit rough for me. It might have been that I was sick or that the hike was in snow. It could just be that I'm that out of shape. I wouldn't say the hike is bad. It is all slightly uphill leaving though. Zack and Caden were pretty patient with me huffing and puffing back to the Jeep.

political storm

Here's another shot with the new Holga 120 WPC. This time I kept the shutter open for about 10 seconds. I've taken tons of shots of the Arkansas State Capitol now, but hopefully this one is a little different.

push-ups

I don't do a lot of portraits. People aren't really all that keen on having their picture taken. I have learned people are more than willing to offer up their kids though. The risk here? Kids don't cooperate! I was up for the challenge and planned for two kid sessions the same weekend.

This was the first time I felt like photography was "work".
