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.

They blend so well with the background, it's amazing that you were able to bring out there definition.
I love the sandhill cranes - they are so huge both in the sky and on the ground! They're loud, particular honking, is unforgettable.You have to have a good eye to spot these guys as they blend in to the surroundings so well!
great shot
Oh my - - - you photos are exquisite, mine are just "for fun." But I'm so glad you found my blog and have left me comments.
I'm a blogging machine - - - it is my hobby and keeps me sane in the difficult days that life has a way of dealing out to us.
Also - - - I'm a commenter, so you'll be hearing from me often.
Sand Hill Cranes - - - aren't they wonderful? We've just returned from WI and our vacation there, where we DID get to see several Sand Hill Cranes. I only have a simple point and shoot digital camera, so didn't capture any for my blog - - - but we WATCH for them and get excited about seeing them.
We DID see bears - - - glory be! And loons and eagles and hawks and lots of deer and a fox.
Glad to have you visiting my blog - - - but please don't expect my photos to be on a par with yours!!!
Of course - - - you don't write much, so maybe I've "got" you there. Hehehehehehe
An brilliant shot of those elegant birds.
These are truly amazing images Stephen. Thank you for dropping by my blog. I'll be back here to see your wonderful photography.
