Deep Dive 2

Hi all.

Here is another photo from my hard drive excursion.

When I originally started into photography years ago, it was so that I would be able to take my own photos to paint. Well, I found that I also loved the photography process. Some day, when I have more time (yeah, right :smile:) I will possibly get into painting from my photos. Right now, photography fits my life style since I can pick it up for a few minutes and put it down. It is with this painting in mind that I kept some photos and deleted some photos when I was doing my deep dive.

Thanks for any and all thoughts on this one.

Nathan

What you are doing with the camera is art :eek: With images like these, there is not need to pull out the paint brushes (not yet)

Lovely photo Nathan. Your story is similar to mine. Thirty years later and I'm just beginning to paint again.
