Welcome to 52Photos, a year in images 2011. 52Photos started in January of 2010 as an effort to capture 2010, one week at a time, through the eye of a camera lens. I've enjoyed the process immensely, and have been thankful for all the amazing feedback I've gotten as a response to my images, stories, and thoughts throughout the year. I'll be continuing with the blog through 2011 with a slightly new look, but still providing 52 images and some thoughts to go along with them. Technical to abstract, social commentary and just plain fun, you'll find a mix of topics, variety of images, and hopefully, something you will enjoy following along. I've had a number of people ask "where can I buy a print??". The answer is an easy one... select images are available by clicking here. Of course you can just send me a message too, I'd love to hear from ya!

Heeeeere....Lizard, Lizard

Week 43


Heeeeere... Lizard, Lizard
October 26, 2010

So last week I'm sitting in my office, slaving away at edits when this little guy decides to sneak up behind me. I almost stepped on the poor thing as I jumped up to go into the kitchen and make some grub. He was small and so I didn't see him, but surprisingly he didn't move. At all. I thought I'd perhaps scared him to death. Or he was asleep. Do lizards sleep? Anyway, thankfully I didn't step on him, but he did seem to be begging for a modeling gig, and wasn't going anywhere, so I scooped him up on a piece of paper and put him on my drafting desk and in front of the camera for his very own paparazzi session. I was a little disappointed with his enthusiasm. He's no Geico spokesman, but he patiently let me shoot away for a couple of minutes until it was clear he wasn't going to dance, or talk, or move at all and I got bored. Off he went to the back yard, where with a little prompting with a stick to his tail, scurried off, proving he was indeed still alive. I wonder if he'll relate this experience to his buddies as something akin to an alien abduction?
