Hey All
The other day, just after I woke up, Mr Mantis came by. I’m not sure how many times I’ve seen a Praying Mantis, up close, in my life but it’s not too many. I’m also not sure if this is really a Mr Mantis or Ms. Mantis either ;-). I’m afraid these images aren’t my best but… These Mantis’ are strangely intriguing.
From what I’ve learned; of the three Mantis’ that reside in the United States only one is native, the Carolina Mantis. The other two were introduced from Europe and China, in the last century.
Click on the images to take a closer look.

Hi All
I hope you’re all well!
I was walking around my Boston neighborhood recently and look what I found. Impressive.

When I was a teen, I attended a summer photography class run by the city of Boston with my brother and friends. I believe we were given Polaroid cameras and black and white instant film and told to go out and take pictures of whatever we wanted.
I still occasionally shoot black and white as well as color film, but less and less each year. It’s still fun but the processing costs along with the wait is getting to be too much. Maybe this will be my last year shooting film.
That said, look at this image from a little Canon S100 digital shot in black and white mode. (click on the image for a more detail view)

Hi All
Hope you’re well!
I’ve always wondered why we, as photographers, artists, etc are attracted to certain places and topics. I’m strongly attracted to photographing and filming beaches, water places and the surrounding environments. I’m also attracted to old places, like train tracks and train yards. I plan to continue to explore and expand this to see where it goes.
