Thank you Agnes for your kind comments on "Sprouting Onions". I'm pleased you like it. Let me give you a GREAT BIG WELCOME to Caedes. I hope you enjoy your stay with us and enjoy all of the many fine artists here.

A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Albert Einstein

Hi Agnes,

There are some things you can do about too much flash reflection in an image. If you can email me (your email-adress isn't posted here) I'll send you a corrected image with explanation on how I did it.

Agnes, I really want to thank you for your comments and show of support for “Together We Stand”. I live, basically, surrounded by farmland. To the East and South it is mostly dry land farming, with wheat the main commodity. To the West and North it’s mostly fruit and other crops dependent on irrigation. I have spent numerous hours and or days photographing the “Green Crops” and very little time in the dry land areas. I started to turn more attention to that area when I saw another image here on Caedes that was some form of grain. This is one of the photographs that resulted because of that image. I wish I could remember who did it; I would like to thank them personally.


The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling; “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.
William Faulkner

Hi Agnes, I just came across your message about my camera. I'm sorry that I missed your question. Right now I am just using my Kodak DX6490 with zoom lens for macros, but I just bought a Canon Digital Rebel XT, which came highly recommended and I am trying to break it in. It came with a conventional 18-55mm lens and eventually, I'd like to get the 70-300mm lens, but I have to pay for the camera first! LOL Thanks for asking.
