I appreciate you stopping by to sample a bit of my world behind the camera. I have been very blessed to have had the opportunity to travel and see many great things. During those travels I took many common photos of a far away land that opened my eyes to the common things we see everyday here in the midwestern USA.
I decided that these local common things were very worthy of my photographic attention. I have deliberately sought to pay more attention to my surroundings. Many call that "stopping to smell the roses". I have found that to be good therapy.
This website records many strange events or happenings. It explores wild abstract color and different ways to view things. I have always enjoyed intense contrast in photography. To me, color splashed everywhere is great ... sometimes even enjoyable pushed to the bizarre with manipulation programs.
Interested in having something photographed? Send your inquiries to nikonsniperguy@aol.com. I just might hop in the car and get it done.
Thanks for coming. I enjoy your comments and hearing how a photo strikes you. All the best.

Your photos are amazing, but what I love the most are your captions!

kelly,
photo was taken earlier today near our illinois home. there is a place where the people raise sicilian donkeys a bit north of us. i have often seen them kicking each other in some rather wild fights. today i turned the corner heading past their pasture to a wildlife park and another guy hopped out of his car to feed them carrots. i got out and took quite a few shots. they are really beautiful animals. the cross on their backs bears spectacular significance to the christian and i have always been interested in them. oh yeah and btw if a donkey could talk i think it would sound exactly like eddie murphy in shrek.
God bless.

Being of such Italian heritage - I claim delight in the beauty of this enduring species.
Quindi, in modo piacevole ...Bello come un $ 1500 Siciliano Ciuchino!

Great photos today, as usual but this one is my favorite of the bunch.
Handsome is right - they have beautiful faces, and you took a great photo of them!
I used to own some miniature Sicilian donkeys. They are docile, patient, calm, intelligent animals. Your photo makes me miss them just a little less.
