I think instead of writing a caption I'm going to just start naming the pictures that I post. Starting with this one which I am calling Snow in the Suburbs

Yellow tailed finches? Am I right?
I love this picture! The bird is so solemn. 
Before the snow fell I took this picture. The little guy was probably only 10 feet away in this tree and keep giving me weird looks haha.

My brother isn't the best model ever. I have wanted to do some portraiture work for a while now but I don't really have a good model. I guess he will do for now.

Awwww hes so cute. This picture is kinda weird to look at because of the unique perspective.
Apparently I need to carry around cookies with me all the time because the dogs watch them like crazy.

Does this picture look like a Christmas Carol to anyone else? Maybe its just me?
These guys are from the little village that my family sets up every year for Christmas.

Struggling up one heck of a hill at the Cycle cross event. 
The good thing about having your dad as the local bike mechanic is that you get exposure to a TON of cycling events such as this Cycle Cross event in Statesville.

With no more pretty leaves to take pictures of I am now just taking pictures of branches. Still pretty. But they make you feel cold.

Bannon trees galore! In Florida the bannon tree is fairly common. They are the trees that you see in movies that look like the have an octopus for roots because they are all twisted and gnarled. They have 75 billion branches that twist around each other and they are probably the koolest tree on the planet. This is one that I did some extensive post processing on to give it that HDR kinda feel.

Bird! Can you tell that I had fun taking bird pictures in Flordia? Most of them would pose for you as long as you didn't come to close.

I really like the colors in this photo even if they still don't look quite right to me.

During my wonderful vacation to Florida I took some time to work on my photography. I wanted to create a name and a logo for my work to make it a little more credible. I came up with the above logo. The name of my "business" is Archer Fish Photography. I also started a Deviant Art Profile so I can sell my work. Check it out at http://setpatarc.deviantart.com/ I'm going to try and add pictures as often as I can so if you have any recommendations then comment on below for which ones you would like to see on there. Also comment below with what you think about the logo. Is it good, bad? Let me know.

Ok you probably have noticed that I have not been doing a great job with the blog. I have been taking pictures and uploading them but it hasn't been anywhere close to every day recently. So. I  want to try and catch up again and get the ball rolling again. These are all pictures from a yearbook assignment I had. Each picture had to correspond with a given theme.
