"Brightness in Life"

When I first took this picture it was just one of those being at the right place at the right time with a camera. My real inspiration came later when I wanted to do the style of picture with the gray background and this picture was just perfect.

"Perfect Sleeping Spot"

There was not a lot of what I would call inspiration behind the photo. I had two reasons for taking this picture. (1) I wanted to get a picture with some "color cast" in it. (2) I really just wanted to get a cute picture of my dog (Chief) in his favorite sleeping spot. I think he likes it there because I bother him less when he's up the stairs.

 

"Rose After a Rain"

With some photo there is no need for "inspiration". I take a lot of the nature pictures just because I stumble onto a beautiful scene of nature, such as in this picture.

"Passing the Time"

 

My inspiration for this photo was the simple idea of how much time can pass when a person is enamored with an excellent piece of literature.
