Talkabout: Open Eye Photography

You’ve probably guessed by now that I love photography.  Its one of my favorite pastimes, one that I wish I could spend more time and money on (always a better camera to buy or a trip to take to get to the amazing sights).   I am amazed and enthralled by the photographs other photographers take; every one has such a unique view of the world to share.  For example, my friend Stacy, who captured this scene in her Indiana hometown, a view quite different from what I see in Florida:

and this photograph, taken in rural North Dakota by Rick Craig (also known as Pastor Rick).  Pastor Rick shared hauntingly beautiful images of life after people have moved on. The story that goes with the image just makes it even more enjoyable.

I could share photographs from my Flickr contacts all day, but today is Talkabout Thursday and I have a blog to share with you: Open Eye Photography Blog.  From the site:

The Open Eye Photography blog is build and maintained but the members of theEstetica Graphic Design & Photography Forum and is a showcase of all our favorite photography work and favorite photographers from around the world.  Our photography section features alot of our own photography work including ourPhotography of the month competitionand posts of the best pictures we share and discuss. We also have aPhotography Help & Techniques Forumfor people to exchange tips on taking and editing photos as well as photography equipment.

The images shared on Open Eye Photography range from the stunning to the amusing – with lots of fashion photography thrown in, too.  The site does come with a warning, though; many, many hours can be wasted if you dare to click on the ‘older posts’ link.
