I wish it would just rain already! For a couple of reasons, 1) obviously to quench the massive thirst of the flowers that re growing and trying to bloom, 2) the fire ants have no pre-designated areas. If the ground was wet, I would know exactly where their mounds are! As it is right now, wherever I stand in the backyard I see 1 or a ton of them!

You’ll notice I have no interest whatsoever in the grass growing, just the flowers!! ;-)

These are fairly recent various pictures of me and some of Mountain Dew and 1 actually of Yosemite Natl. Park (long story as to why that is included here).

2 problems:

1. I have pictures of myself at no less than 5 other online locations and
2. I do not have nearly enough Mountain Dew pictures.

But not to fear, both are soon to change for the better.

Photrade, Featured Photographer: TimsDD

I was very pleased to learn that I was recently selected to be the Featured Photographer on Photrade.

Now, was that due to the fact that I have been with the site for so long or that a large portion of the initial invitees are bloggers? Just kidding, I am honored for the selection and it was fun to be able to answer the questions. I just hope I didn’t sound too much like a dork!

Anyway, it was nice to be recognized for my work. I know that once Photrade comes out of beta the site will really take off and many new and talented photographers will join.

Here are a couple of questions from the full article:

What do you shoot?

Everything!Which wasn’t always the case. I made the mistake early on, shooting nothing but nature & landscape stuff. So now I’m trying to do portraiture, and people are a lot harder to work with than say flowers or trees. It’s an adjustment but part of the learning process, both challenging and fun. My passion though is macro, I just love the world of close-up photography.

Why do you like using Photrade?

I like Photrade because they are trying to help photographers, regardless of experience level, showcase, monetize, and protect their work. I see it as being far from “just another” photo sharing site. I think it has potential to be THE site for photographers.
