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.

Vistas of many beauties... I appreciate the expressions silently voiced within your artful images...
I posted a poem in response to, "Fence Post Lookout" titled, "You Sing Your Song." I am blessed each day with a chorus of robins greeting the dawning of day.
doesn't it amaze you that the color comes from light reflecting off of the dust particles in the air?
love the tones.

O, that is so peaceful and promising...
That's beautiful, o before I forget it i have a new blog, on your visit I'm pleased. Saludos :-)
Beautiful. It's like a rain of gold over the hills.
Hi
Thanks for following my blog, now I have discovered you too. I like your insightful phrase in your blog banner: 'sooner of later you will hit something.' It's true, the secret is just to get on and try!
I like your photographs and how you have presented these in your blog. They make me yearn to travel!!!! What have you started! lol.
Lovely image. Where was it taken?
Those mountains look airbrushed with freshness.<3
amazing.
Marvellous landscape.
Greetings from Spain.
Exhilarating!
The warm colors are awesome!!
beautiful hues!
Stephen, this is a wonderful study of layers and contrast. simplicity and beauty at its finest.
Beautiful work
great capture on the mountain range! thanks for dropping by eskapo.
It's really lovely. I wish you would give more location info, but it's interesting. We all have our things that are important to us. I find I'm pretty geo-referenced, and others are not. Your photos are captivating, and this is really special.
Great colours and textures.
Great photo...love the colors and the depth. BTW - Thank you for the card...it arrived safely last week.
A most amazing image.....Love this one.
The layers of mountains are just beautiful. Great photo.
Nice! First time to your blog. Great work. I wish I could afford a decent camera, but if wishes were dollars.... I will make do with what I have. In the meantime. I will be back to see more. Thanks Stephen!
Beautiful shot and sky. I've scrolled down through your recent shots...amazing; can't decide which one I like best. Some of the places I recognize from a road trip to the Grand Coulee Dam I took many years ago. Your composition is wonderful and I really enjoy your creative titles for each post. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Hi Stephen, I grew up in Oakville I went to Oakville Trafalger to start and then to White Oaks. I knew people back then in Blakelock. It is indeed a small world! We also look sound around the same age so don"t say a million years ago, maybe a thousand or so LOL.
tapirgal,
this photo was taken between john day and prineville on highway 26. sorry i can't be more specific. i have seen similar photos to this all over washington and oregon. finding layers of mountains is easy here. you can get these all day long in layers of blue. this one is a sundown ... so it naturally casts more golds, oranges, and browns.
