I’ve complained far too long about not being able to capture many natural images amidst the ‘concrete jungle’ that is Houston, TX. Well, I’ve been proven wrong. This image was captured less than two miles from NASA’s Johnson Space Center, which is in the heart of the highly-developed Clear Lake area of Houston. I actually took this photo this past Saturday (Feb 2); and as promised, it will be the only image I’ll use that was taken prior to the creation of this photoblog.It was a beautiful, unseasonably warm morning along Armand Bayou with an awesome stream of clouds that added interest to an otherwise mundane deep blue sky. These trees have been stripped bare of any life over the years, but I think they’re much more striking without their ‘clothes’.
Here I go. I’m plunging into the world of photo-blogging. Almost a year ago my wife and I started our first blog to capture the birth and development of our daughter. Well, that has proven to be quite a handful to keep up, even though we post to it once every other month (if that much)! So, naturally, I’m starting another blog of my own. Over the past several months, I’ve found that I really enjoy viewing and reading others’ photoblogs. And as I greatly enjoy capturing my own images of the world around us, it’s only a natural progression of my blogging experience to start my own photoblog.
My intent for this site is two-fold. First, I really enjoy sharing my latest images with others. So I’ve decided to use this site as sort of an experiment in different imaging techniques, subject matter, and recipes (photo editing); hence the name Lightsmith Labs. And finally, maintaining this blog is my attempt at challenging my skills and creativity each week. My goal is to update this site at least three times a week with brand new images. I will never use images captured prior to this blog’s inception (except for my first post and where otherwise noted).
So, here I go. Please join me for the ride by subscribing to the RSS feed, so you’ll always know when I have a new post. And always feel free to comment on each post…good or bad (naturally I reserve the right to remove the bad if I want).
On with the photos!
