I'm amateur -- VERY amateur. But still, I've managed to take a few pictures with my little Canon Powershot that I'm pretty pleased with. Playing with them in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom helps a lot too. :)<br /><br />Usually, as you'll soon see, Morganne is the subject of my impromptu photo shoots since she's a most willing participant. Kurt is a more difficult subject -- at least when it comes to taking pretentious arty photos, since he's usually running, dancing or just plain wiggling around too much for me to take a picture that isn't blurred somehow. <br /><br />For example: <br /><br /><a href="http://www.akane.org/WiggleKurt.jpg"><img src="http://www.akane.org/WiggleKurt-380.jpg"></a><br /><br />Heheheh! That's my boy. :)<br /><br />And now, in no particular order, a sample of my pretentious arty photos!

I made a special trip up Provo Canyon at 10 am one late September morning because Grandma Barbara told me that was the best time to take photos, with the morning light on the mountain. Boy, was she right! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.akane.org/MountTimpanogosAutumn.jpg"><img src="http://www.akane.org/MountTimpanogosAutumn-380.jpg"></a><br /><br />And that's all for now.
