Composition with Dress

While we were in Waco, TX visiting Baylor I followed my wife and daughter around while they went shopping at a place that had multiple little spaces within it, sort of like an antique mall but with contemporary items.

This little spot did have older more antique type things and I was struck by the beautiful light flowing over the dress and table. I did just a slight bit of arranging to clean up the composition a bit then took the shot.

It is amazing how many opportunities arise when you have a camera with you, if you only but look with an eye for it.

The Tim Burton Angel

This sculpture was part of our tour of ‘creepy’ sculptures’ by our daughter as she showed us the Baylor campus at night.

The Tim Burton Angel

 We all thought the angel seemed to come straight out of ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ by Tim Burton and we all agreed that my oldest daughter, R, would love it.

I actually think it is a pretty powerful rendition of an angel, certainly better than the millions of kitschy, sappy and syrupy angel figurines found all over the world.
