With all the outsourcing of jobs, it's important for every American to have a plan.  When I'm old and homeless, I'm claiming this gazebo on the Gulf of Mexico. It's mine. I'll be the old bearded guy with a fishing pole. This gazebo was near Steinhatchee, Florida. But, seriously, git. You go find your own gazebo!

Photo: Geese in Flight

A flock of geese in flight

I took this picture after a quick draw of my Kodak Z950.  I barely had time to switch it to the athletic/action scene mode (in technical parlance - the little running dude on top of the camera knob).  I cropped the picture a bit to isolate the geese against a natural backdrop.

Time for Black & White Film Photos with Canon AF35M SureShot

I recently tried some black and white film in an old Canon AF35M II SureShot Autoboy 2 point and shoot camera.  It's a really fun vintage 35mm film camera with lots of clicks and whirs and nice picture quality.  For a complete review, check this article out:

My first couple of shots are from Cascade Lake in Tallahassee, Florida.  The third shot is of a building on the FSU Campus.  The neat thing about Cascade Lake is that the water regularly drains down into the aquifer on a regular basis.

Cypress Trees with Roots Exposed Due to Natural Draining of Cascade Lake (Tallahassee, FL)

The Cypress Trees and their roots are left high and dry during these draining events.  They provide an opportunity to take some hauntingly beautiful photos.

The nearby campus of Florida State University provides some interesting photography opportunities as well.  I thought this shot had a cool look in Black & White.
