Hi out there in cyberspace! Welcome to my blog site in the making-- I am new at this so I apologize in advance for any misfires [like I just deleted my whole post while trying to delete one photo]. Anyway, I invite you to comment on any of my photos -- thoughtful criticism can only make me a better photographer. OK-- I'll give it another try.

Wow! Not too shabby. These were all taken with a 'point and shoot' digital camera, no fancy DSLR with a macro lens. I've made photo note cards using a number of the above images; if anyone is interested in purchasing some, please send me an e-mail and we can discuss the details.
Peace and love, Stan

Hey Stan! Very nice. You have your first paragraph on here twice...did you notice? Love the photos. Funny, I say cool beans too. If you go visit other sites and leave a message, frequently they will come back to visit you. There are many links on my sidebar...If you want to see beautiful photography, click on the one about Tuscany! or Bedlam Farm (author Jon Katz). It's a start.
I'll call you tomorrow with more hot tips. HaHa.
Stan, great pictures. love the detail, the color, and the lighting. what kind of lenses do you use?--Jon
Thanks again, Lori! I made the correction--- I don't know how I got to this page--lol. I guess Comments do not automatically appear; i.e., we have to approve they be published-- only then do we have a chance to respond ['moderate']. Oh well, I'll get the hang of it--
Hi Jon, I don't know where your Comment disappeared to; but I'll answer it anyway. Concerning the lenses I used. They were fixed lenses that belonged on the camera: a Kodak Z1015 [Rose of Sharon, Orchid and Water Lily pics] and a Canon A720 [all the rest]. For macro shots, I think it is hard to beat the Canon-- you get in amazingly close, but there is some noise. Still, for $145 on e-bay, the camera was a steal!!! It's an all around sturdy and convenient camera to work with. Some day I may actually buy a DSLR; for now, however, I look longingly at those of my colleagues.
I'll be an audience and enjoy...not a critic! I only know what I like.
That's a nice thought. Still, critical commentary helps the photographer and viewer understand the 'why'-- both gain from the exercise.
I found you on skywatch, your photos are simply beautiful. I can only enjoy as well, I am still learning. I love very close/macro photos and sky's of course.
