My attempts at art. I tried to sharpen both of these but they came out looking like digital art.

My self photo for the weekly challenges. I did not mean to capture my face but my shutter speed was long enough that the glow sticks lit up my face.

Great Flickr Artist

She uses light very well, has great composition, and is incredibly versatile. She shoots HDR, does portraits, and has some nice graphic art pieces.

I really want to find a macro lens that can take shots like this. My lens has to be at least a foot away from the subject otherwise everything gets really blurry. I want to take close-up nature shots like this and capture all of the detail.

A great nature shot of ants. I really want a great macro land so I can do stuff like this.

Current Affairs of a Rohingya refugee (Muslim minority in Burma). His expression is great and the light on his eyes and the spots on his face make for a great portrait.

Great motion shot that Treat got of me while I was laughing. The big shape coming off of the right side of my face is actually my ear as I moved closer to the camera.

I actually like this picture after looking at it for a bit. There's a lot of stuff going on and some interesting lines from the dead grass.
