Dailies
These images are ones shot to post in the daily community on smugmug. I've been participating in this community for about six years. For the first few years, I tried to always post a shot taken either that day or the day before. Now, although I try to shoot everyday, I don't necessarily post the images on the same day they are shot.

Hey, What Should I Do Now?
My grandson, Spencer, with a butterfly on his nose. Regretfully, I must admit that this is a fake. Two separate photos. I cut out the butterfly from another image and moved it onto Spencer's nose. I've always wanted to capture a shot like this, so I decided to create it from scratch. Thanks, everyone, for taking the time to give me advice about how I could improve the HDR-like suburbia shot. You gave me some really good suggestions, so I'll keep working on it. Tatiana asked what I used to cut out the butterfly. I used Photoshop CS3, the magic wand tool (which is so much better in CS3 than it was in previous iterations of the software).

Thanks for your note a few days ago! I've been extremely busy with work and family stuff and am on a semi-permanent hiatus from the dailies. I do take time during the week to see what everyone has been up to.
