I thought some came out really... People Ben 2009-08-19T15:39:43-06:00 http://www.1adventure.com/archives/000219.html Took this image while on a trip to see family for Thanksgiving. It was really incredible to watch the fog roll in and cover the entire beach and coastline. I felt like I was sitting right up there in the clouds. This place specifically is right up on top... Travel Ben 2009-01-24T21:22:05-06:00 http://www.1adventure.com/archives/000218.html So not to long ago I was in Walgreens late in the evening picking up some medicine and food. I was terribly sick and had been throwing up the last few days from some awful bug that stuck like the plague while at the lake with some friends for...

Right after a storm is one of my favorite times to walk... Nature Ben 2008-08-17T15:49:05-06:00 http://www.1adventure.com/archives/000216.html This image is cropped from the original. I had a hard time trying cropping this image because I liked the whole scene of the baby cardinal in the nest but at the same time wanted to focus in on the fragile helpless nature of the bird in the nest.... Nature Ben 2008-07-17T21:36:57-06:00 http://www.1adventure.com/archives/000215.html Had the really rare wonderful opportunity to see a painting bunting this morning. I had only seen this bird before in fleeting moments while hiking and never close enough to get a photo. At first I didn't know what this bird was but was amazed at the beautiful colors... Nature Ben 2008-07-06T13:26:20-06:00 http://www.1adventure.com/archives/000214.html Loved how this image came out and even more spectacular it was shot with an Apple iPhone. The phone's camera carries only a 1 megapixel camera and uses all the surrounding light(no flash). Sometimes it takes a really good picture. This is a photo of Mt. Princeton or Yale...

It was really quite beautiful and I saw a cool opportunity to kick back and do some light designs. These 2 photos, specifically the top one were... Lights Ben 2008-05-07T22:26:22-06:00 http://www.1adventure.com/archives/000212.html Crazy orange eyes this bird has. I took this about an hour ago. I had originally spotted it in the window literally thrashing around under a cedar tree and thought at first it was a roadrunner, but couldn't figure how it would have such orange eyes. So I spent... Nature Ben 2008-03-08T15:44:06-06:00 http://www.1adventure.com/archives/000211.html I was really surprised and thrilled to receive an email this morning from Tessa Day. She had contacted me a while back and asked if she could use my photo Greyhound Peering Out for a painting she was doing for an exhibition to benefit greyhound dogs. I have read a... News Ben 2008-02-25T14:35:29-06:00 http://www.1adventure.com/archives/000210.html Just some interesting pictures taken with the new lens I thought worth posting. It was really dark out but I think the images came out well.... People Ben 2008-02-25T14:32:06-06:00 http://www.1adventure.com/archives/000209.html Just broke down and finally bought the lens I have had my eye on for quite some time. There are several actually, but this one is what I need for general shooting and good people shots in lower light. It being expensive was one of the delays in buying it,... News Ben 2008-02-19T22:22:00-06:00 http://www.1adventure.com/archives/000207.html First off, I didn't want to imply anything derogatory about the girl in the picture by using the term gypsy. I am using it as it was how the locals and everyone else referred to the people that begged for money in Fatima. This girl and a friend of... People Ben 2008-01-26T19:19:35-06:00 http://www.1adventure.com/archives/000206.html How about this photo, huh? There is so much going on that I don't know what exactly to look at first. This is a picture of a Mexican Botanica. It is a bit stylized as the content were moved from its original location in San Antonio, Texas. A botanica... Random Ben 2007-12-31T13:25:44-06:00 http://www.1adventure.com/archives/000205.html Took this in Lisbon Portugal while back at a Gothic monastery that I can't remember the name of. I think it was something complicated in Portuguese that I should have written down. Cool picture. There is a couple in on the side there, that was making out the whole...
