Wings and Skin

The distinct difference between the eaters and the Wingettes can be seen in this photo. A true beauty and the beast scene. Photo taken during Wing Bowl 17 at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia on January 30th.

World Series Trophy

Ok...OK...I know that I stated that I would be posted 3-4 photos a week and I haven't even posted one in two weeks! Anyway, I went to Wing Bowl in Philadelphia on Friday the 30th and take a lot of pitures hoping a few would be good. This one was my favorite despite the obvious blur. They were carrying the World Series trophy in and it seemed like that was the only thing that came somewhat into focus. It was taken without a tripod in the darks.. The only light in the building was on the trophy.

From My Eye

Welcome! This is my first attempt at blogging. I plan on using it as an outlet to display some of my photography. Note the title of the blog...From My Eye. I am an amateur but I do feel that I have a good eye for photography. Recently I just purchased my first DSLR camera, a Sony a300. Before that I had a variety of cameras which may be described at a later date. What I will try to do though is to post one photo at least 4-5 days a week. Like I said, I am an amateur and do this as a hobby so I would be open to any constructive criticism. I look at this as a learning process and hope to improve and produce photos that are thought provoking and create conversation about them. So again, welcome and I hope that you enjoy!
