Snowflake Challenge #6

In your own space, Create something.

I write slow. However, I did spend a ton of time yesterday and today organizing my photography files. There is more to do, but I can create a gallery of shots I am fond of. This isn't necessarily my best work, or the shots that are best at catching people's eye, but they are ones I like.

I will have a few galleries done soon, like my Portland At Night gallery. Now that I've deleted around 30,000 duplicate images I am navigate all this easier and get my website in shape. Though, making this post I realized I have 5 different holiday folders under different names that I need to collect and consolidate.











(These two live in my camera bag, though it's been ages since I shot them anywhere. I may do a 'what's in my camera bag post' at some point.)

Now I wish I had included photography when I made up the master post. These are wonderful. I particularly loved the ruins in the woods and the tree overgrowing the head stones

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

[cornerofmadness]

You're welcome

[muccamukk]

These are all wonderful, but I like the compositions of the pride flag and the last one especially. The focus on the little lego guys is wonderful. There's such great depth to it.

[olivermoss]

Thank you! I liked the flag being tucked in among mossy rocks.

That last one is easily one of the top 5 pictures I've taken, per my own ranking system :)

[silveradept]

I really appreciate the skeletons and their various forms of dress or accessories. That, and the "Trespassers Wanted* sign.

[olivermoss]

I walked a few miles for the Trespassers sign, so I love having a chance to post it :) There are a lot of skeletons here in Portland. People say we are known for fairy doors, but I rarely see those. I see lots of skeletons.

[lightbird]

I love all of these. They're really terrific.

I especially loved that you got the cat mid-yawn. That was perfect timing.

[olivermoss]

Thank you. That cat was going for drama with that amazing patio to pose on :)

[svgurl]

These are look great! All the nature shots are especially lovely- the last one and the one from the cave are my favorites. The legos definitely made me smile too. :D

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

[peaked]

Your outdoor and animal photographs are stunning. The fact you caught a cat yawning !!!! Those are my favourite shots to get. I love the creativity in all your photographs that feature either a full-body skeleton or skeletal hand.

I also had a look at your website and, of course, went straight to the "My cat" gallery. What a beautiful model! I'm so glad she got to spend her entire life being in front of the camera when she most likely didn't want to be. 😹

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

My cat hated my camera. She was with me almost 18 years, but I actually don't have a ton of pictures of her because she just hated it.

[peaked]

Isn't that the way? At least you have very special photographs of her that she kindly allowed you to take. I'm sorry you lost her, but I'm so glad that you had her and she got to hate your camera. c:

[olivermoss]

Thank you. I do treasure the pictures that I have

[tsuki_no_bara]

these are all so good! i especially like the backlit windows and the yawning cat and the skeletons. and the bee butt. :D

[olivermoss]

Thank you! Bee butts are awesome.

[senmut]

EXCELLENT!!!!

[olivermoss]

Thank you:)

I remember many of these pictures, but not all of them!

The wooden walkway into the trees is gorgeous, and makes me want to be there.

I don't think I'd ever seen the one of lego Legolas and Gimli, but I love it! Imagining the water and the plants in scale with them is very fitting and magical.

The ruin wall! The trespassing sign! The bee! The painted pride flag!

Don't sleep! <always a favorite spooky/eerie one The four windows! The beautiful cozy cat in the window! Skellies! Christian Kane! And I like that last one of the flower on the mountain. Great perspective.

[olivermoss]

A few are fairly old. The trespassing sign is from... when did I go to Malhuer? 2014?

I need to shoot Legs and Gims more places, but it's hard to shoot them in a city. I don't want to place them by fairy doors in case people think I am taking them when I put them back in my bag. But they live there, in a little pocket of my camera bag.

Thank you! That last pic is one of my top five pictures I've ever taken.

[mistressofmuses]

I hadn't even really thought of the worry that people might think you were taking them, but I can see it being a concern! That's a shame, because that could be a cute spot to get pictures of them, but not worth the worry! But I love that you have them with you.

Deservedly! It's a fantaastic shot!

[lif61]

So unique!

[badfalcon]

You have an amazing eye, these are fantastic pictures! (yay Kane gigs! :D)

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

I spent a lot of time organizing all my Kane pics this year ... and then I found more. I still need to make a better gallery on my website :)

[spikedluv]

Those photos are gorgeous! I love the bridge in the trees. Some of them made me snort out loud, lol! Thank you for sharing these.

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

[mekare]

I love these! The windows at night are especially fascinating.

[olivermoss]

Thank you!
