A work in progress! Hi! My name is Melinda. I am happily married to the love of my life and we have a daughter who is in college. I live in Southern California and I am an amateur photographer. My husband bought me my Kodak P880 for Christmas in 2006. I looked at it and thought I'd never figure it out! I've only taken regular every day snapshots and never looked through the lens in a "creative" way. Then in March 2007 someone introduced me to Renderosity.  In May, I became brave and decided to upload my first photo... I haven't been able to put my camera down since! LOL. I still have a lot to learn, but I sure am having fun doing it. I have come a long way though. This time last year, I couldn't even put a photo on the computer! Now I have started to research DSLR cameras ... Who knows what the future brings! Update: I now have that DSLR :) Was the best Christmas (2008) gift!   I did the research and picked it out and Santa put it under the tree. It's a Canon Rebel Xsi .

I have a new DSLR, the Canon 7OD. A gift from my husband for Mother's Day. So much to explore!

Great crop and the lighting was perfect for this shot. Wonderful shadows and textures. Begs the question 'why would this be an alphabet pole?'! Well done, Clive

So simple ABC yet hold the attention very well. Great job on a tone and hang onto the texture. Hubbies allways just smile on our photos...go figure?

It is a feast of textures and light/shadow, a still life study in its own right. I read your Bio again Melinda and you seem to have fun.

Lol! I know what you mean, I too keep seeing things I didn't before! Beautiful black and white shot, seems I remember seeing something similar to this when I was a child, now I wonder why the letters and especially why the A,B,C...

ABC, Channel 7 TV, the American Broadcasting Company!!! I knew it all along! Stellar clarity, lighting effects and textures in this fine capture, Melinda! At least your husband smiles at you while you're doing your photo thing. Many spouses give their mates a bad time on this kind of stuff.

Amazing isn't it? I, too, found all the things I had overlooked for just as many years! Dont' 'cha love it? I'm glad you stopped and shot this pole; I like the black/whites/grays in it.
