What is your favorite subject to photography and why? I love landscapes or sunsets. They are just so beautiful to capture on film. Sometimes the sunsets are never the same image. It's just beautiful and fun to try and capture the sunsetting at just the right moment you know.

This will sound weird but one of my favorite things to photograph are trees. I don't know why, I just love how they look with their branches against the sky. I especially like trees in big open fields, but any tree will do :)

When I am hiking, I like to take a picture of how the tree branches look against the sky. I have a few really neat looking pictures looking up to the sky that way. I haven't tried trees in big open fields...maybe I will

Whatever mood strikes me usually dictate the subject of my photograph. Sometimes I happen to be in a place where the scene literally takes your breath away, so I am compelled to capture that on camera. Other times, I catch a person in some interesting or crazy pose, I want that, too. Other times, I love taking photos of people horsing around begging to have their pictures taken. So, it's really something fun for me.

Do you also like to decorate your walls with the images that just take your breath away? That's what I like to do with my photos of sunsets, lakes and rivers. It just adds a personal touch to my home.

That is a good question and a lovely photo. I think I am mostly like you there is something about a sunset that is just so beautiful. It is like God's artwork in the sky. Sometimes even clouds amaze me. I also find water falls very beautiful and mountains. I love taking pictures of mountains. But I think from a photography standpoint there is nothing more amazing then a sunset over water.

The River in Utica Illinois - This is a picture of the river in Utica, IL taken from a top of Starved Rock, at Starved Rock national park.
I like taking pictures of people. But I also really enjoy taking pictures of nature from up hight to down below. Or a picture of a waterfall or a beautiful home or building. I also like to take pictures of things I think are humorous. Of course my favorite subjects are my children.

sunsets and oceans, lakes, rivers. because they are so beautiful and serene. they can transport you as you view them to a place without bills and paperwork and vacuuming, and commuting.

I agree that everything just takes me away from the normal worries of the world. Great response. I find rivers and sunsets to be the best things to just take my mind off of things.

I love to photograph people and animals, especially my cats. They're always just so candid that I find myself snapping photos of them all the time! I love the creativity of being able to catch people in their comfort zone doing what they normally would w/o a camera watching.

I have great pictures of my friends when they were just talking. One of my favorite ones is of my friend playing his guitar. It looks really awesome cause I made it black and white too. Do you play with the coloring of images also?
