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.

So interesting!
Great shot - funny thing as soon as I looked at it I sneezed - weird!!
I don't think I've seen anyone w/ as many followers as you have, but I can certainly see why they're following your page, your photos are beautiful! I especially love the 'Painted Ladies' shot - They're incredibly gorgeous!
Thank you so much for following my page, I'll be following yours as well

Anywhere near Cottonwood? Love Arizona...lived there for one of the happiest years of my life!!! Hugs, Janine
Beautiful photo! I imagine the whole landscape like that. Must be like walking in the clouds!
Funny isn't it - that something so soft comes from something so bristly and hard.
Nice texture.
I didn't know cotton grew in AZ, Stephen. We saw a few fields in AR Now they grow mostly soybeans in the fields that years ago had cotton. Thanks for sharing your cotton bolls with us.
Janine,
