Chilly Nights

I took this picture of a palm tree trunk outside my complex the other night.  It had just stopped raining and it was chilly enough you could see your breath when exhaling.  I loved it.  Rowdy and I were just strolling along enjoying our time outside.  I thought about how fun it would be to  have this weather all the time and wondered how Rowdy would do if we lived in New York.  I think he'd love it because there would be so many things for him to smell.  Anyhow, the shadows in the tree trunk caught my attention.  I wanted more crispness to this picture but I'm still happy with the textures that came through.

Palm trees

Friday the 13th, seems like it should be scary but it's always just another Friday.  


I'm frustrated by this image.  I feel like it should have been more interesting than it turned out. I tried printing it several different ways but this ended up the most interesting of all of them.  It might have been something that just worked better in color.  I had it included in my mid-term version of my calendar but have not 100% decided that it will be strong enough for my final.


This is an image taken with the Hasselblad and film.
