Where There's Muck There's Brass

This is an eight minute exposure. It was very dark where I took this. It was the middle of a wasteland with nothing but dirt, an old truck and a typical new Doha compound of villas. I had noticed, however, that the truck was a nice shape and the light (what there was of it) was of a nice quality. The only remaining thing was to walk around and find the right composition.

See A New Earth

Isaiah 65:17: For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.

The secret to making new interesting pictures in old familiar places is being able to see old things as new.

This is a sign I pass twice every single day I go to work or leave it. But this day, God let me see it in a new way.

Turn Around, Bright Eyes

This was taken at about the same time as the "Burning Bush" photograph and was the result of some very good advice I always try to take. When there is something stunning in the sky, look behind you. There may be something quite different and equally stunning the other side.

Expect Amazing

This is currently my most popular photo on Flickr at the moment, according to their "interestingness" ranking system. I took it during a photo outing with friends on a very rickety cheap tripod less than a minute after breaking mine.

I call it, the burning bush.
