Balloon Setup
In the interest of topicality, early morning two days ago.. Boulder, Colorado…
Dig this up
Leyden, Massachusetts
Hallway – Hotel Colorado
A companion to the shot I posted the other day.
Cotcottontonwowoododss
These cottonwoods are old friends — I see them on many of my runs west of Niwot, Colorado. And I’ve shot many pictures of them. This double exposure, with a Mamiya medium format film camera (Fuji Velvia 120 film, at ISO 100) was a happy (or perhaps for some viewers, an unhappy) accident: I forgot to advance the film.
Commute
Cars stream north out of Boulder. Were they aware of the spectacle behind them? (Shot on Fuji Velvia 120 transparency film, ISO 100, with a Mamiya C220 camera. A relatively low-resolution scan with very minimal post-processing — in other words, this is pretty much the way it looked right out of the camera. Copyright: Tom Yulsman)
Study of a Young Girl
These are part of a study of a 14-year old girl, done my my daughter. I like the first two because they’re in a playground, so there’s this coming-of-age feel to them, with one foot in both child and adult worlds. The first one is one I’d have been proud to take myself. The second could only have been taken by another teenage girl without being creepy, I think.
Oops
As a confirmed denizen of the small hours of the morning – an early field trip to the city seemed quite reasonable. I’ll photograph the sunrise from Queen Anne Hill – tunes, car, coffee, camera and tri-pod – off I went.
Now, I realize I shoot with a Lumix point and shoot, have limited patience for technically fiddly things, and don’t own a copy of Photoshop – but that doesn’t stop me from imagining fantastic photos.
Despite my best intentions the results were neither here nor there. I was going to consign this outing to the hard drive, but I’m going to share it anyway. This blog is about photography – it’s not always perfect. I take pictures for fun – so join me in poking some fun at myself.

Let’s give this a try, shall we?
5/5/12 – Taken from the TVGuy Mansion…
Some very nice work on here so far… very impressed… looking forward to typing more sentences with unnecessary ellipses…
Welcome to the Hotel California Colorado
My first crack at antique tungsten lighting. There remains much to learn.
Straight up
One of my favorite things to do is rest the camera along the surface of an object and fire away. I never know what will result. This is up a tree.

Rekha (a cropping debate)
First off, I love this shot. It was one of those moments where I caught a wonderful subject sort of unawares and managed to capture a real complexity in an expression. So, here’s the first crop.
Actress and model Rekha Ohal takes a break from a video shoot in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

Backyard in Hawaii
I’m just trying to see how this works. Just created a Flickr account, so we’ll see how this goes. These are all pictures taken in my backyard in Wahiawa, Hawai’i. Well, technically, my parents’ back yard. I only lived there a few years before we moved to Virginia…long story. None of these have been Photoshopped since I really wouldn’t know how.
Some Time in the Yellow Stones

Are feet ok? You first.
