I was taking my lunch at Araya's today when I noticed a beautiful doll hanging by one of the tables. I asked one of the ladies if I could take a picture of it and here it is. Since it was a rather overcast day and it was in the middle of a dimly lit restaurant I had to really up the grain factor due to the high film speed. Also I took the shot with my point and shoot which doesn't allow me the versatility that my DSLR does. Normally I would chunk all of the pics if they turned out with this much grain but I believe it added character to this doll and to the pic in general.

Ok...so I have officially decided that I am going for more cinematic shots. So I have changed, for the time being, to a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio and a more defined mood. Well, a bit more defined for me. :) This is an example of that, I hope. :)

Here is a texture wall that I fell in love with. It was taken in Snohomish today when I made a little trip to shoot something different. Also, it is my first in the project365 challenge which is a group where you shoot a pic every day for a year. YAY!

This was taken on July 22nd and it remains high on my favorites list. I actually purchased a filter to reduce reflection on future shots but after looking at this picture again, it makes me love the depth it gives the picture.

Actually, I think this shot doesn't need any work as well. So I guess I just lied earlier. :)
