Eagle,

I've been wondering, are you the artist of some (any or most) of these images?

Either way, thanks for posting them!

You certainly have an "Eagle Eye" for it. I have no idea how you find all these cool images!!

Eagle,

I'm working out how the "Reflection" picture was done!

I'd expect that Photo Shop was required.

Personally, I've been involved in photography since taking a B/W film Photography Class as a senior in High School (back in 1974).

Digital photography opened up a new world for me when I was finally able to scrap together the funds (7 years ago) for a 10 mp Nikon D40X DSLR along with a couple adequate lenses.

Since then I've had many pieces up in a couple local galleries. Not necessarily all that impressive since, as a member, I get to display my work during their 2 month long "shows".

However, I was greatly encouraged when a friend of my (now X) girlfriend told me I should be putting my work up for public view. I wondered about her credentials and she told me she was the Photo Editor for a well know NYC based woman's magazine. I went, . . . I was too humble before that point to even think of putting my photos up for public view.

My "style" can be a bit quirky at times. I'd call myself an Outdoor Inspirationalist. Here's an image I captured way back this last Sunday. Called "Snow Smile" (a completely random but quite unique snow drift I stumbled on).

THE EAGLES CLOSING STATEMENT ~ Lesson #1 exhibit A
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many Years Ago,... and I wont say when , before Paragliders
I was flying most of the day enjoy lifes dream. about the 4th flight of the day, I launched My Hang Glider at Torrey Pines without My helmet ... As I flew by, a spectator signaled Me, Where's Your Helmet.... Oops... Realizing I had no helmet and I could see it on the ground next to My stuff. I landed the glider Uneventfully to put My helmet on....

The Flight Director ( Out of Respect, I won't Name ) walked over and Said where was Your Helmet ....
I replied "I forgot"..... Duh
The Flight Director Then Said,... "You know it's a flight rule", We talked about that rule and
then he Grounded Me for the Last flight of the Day and told Me to write down ~
" I will Not Fly without My Helmet " ~ 100 time's ~ Which I Did

That was it ... Done ,... I Never Forgot that Lesson or My Helmet since then.

Lesson 2 exhibit B ~ Lol ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Same Red Helmet,... about a Year Later ,...
This day I had My helmet, But the clip didn't fully snap, with My glove's I didn't notice .... While in flight, the 1st time I looked down there went My helmet... So I landed Uneventfully and bought another helmet...
It took a week to locate My favorite Helmet on the cliff, It was spotted from the Air and Retrieved.

This time, Nothing was said,... Clip failure or Pilot Error, I Always Check My Clip.

That's It .... is the Pun.
~ THE END Of the Story & Lesson .......
