Ham and Eggs

Not being a botanist, I'm not sure what the real name is for these flowers, but I've always known them as "ham and eggs". These are from my wife's garden. I've been so busy at work during the week, and with household chores on the weekend, that my wife's flower garden as been my only photo outlet lately. With a three day weekend coming up, I hope to be able to get out and do some photography beyond my own yard. (Click on photo to enlarge.)

Yesterday's Post

I was a little surprised at the lack of comments on yesterday's post. With the popularity of bare belly pregnancy portraits, I was sure this topic would stimulate some feedback. I'd love to hear other photographer's take on this, even if you disagree with my point of view. I'm a big boy, I can take it.

Old School Color

You really need to see these color photos by Russian photographer Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky, made in 1909. I think the colors are amazingly realistic for the time, especially compared to other early color processes like autochrome. Remember, we're talking about 1909! Check it out by clicking here.
