What does love equal for you? Click to download full resolution textureWhile walking around downtown St. Petersburg with camera and tripod in tow, I came across the above chalk drawing on the side of a brick wall of a church. I stopped and paused as it really caught my attention. To me it meant, "what does love equal to you?" I was glad to have the proper photo gear with me to make the best high resolution texture of the drawing I could. You can download the same full res texture here.

Beloved puppy Kiki used with brick wall heart textureI used some Photoshop skills to create the above composite image using the brick wall chalk heart texture. What would you put in front of the equal sign?

There was more, a + sign! Click to download the full resolution textureThen I realized the artist had not just drawn an equal sign and a heart, there was a + sign also so that two things could be put together to show what creates love. Due to wall space constraints the space before and after the + sign were not equal so I photographed them the best I could.

Might Jason + a Porsche 911 = love?Using the same Photoshop skills I made a quick mockup of what yours truly might add with to create love! Anyone who knows me knows my love for proper sports cars, and nothing is better than a Porsche 911!

Free iPhone Wallpaper - Smiling Border Collie

March 29, 2010 in Free Wallpaper, Pet

free iPhone wallpaper -- Smiling Border Collie with bokeh

Start your day off with a free new wallpaper for your iPhone or iPod touch!

My dog photography career began last year when I adopted a puppy of my own (Kiki). She quickly made many friends at the local dog park. This introduced me to the world of fun and challenge that is trying to photograph dogs running, wrestling and in general going wild in a large fenced in area.

For photographing candid action shots of dogs I mostly use my Nikkor 105mm VR micro lens because of its fast focusing and great sharpness. I find 105mm is enough length because eventually all dogs will pass close by.

Reserve a candid action photography session for your dog today, or find out more about them.

free iPhone wallpaper -- Horse Grazing in Yamanashi Japan

Start your work week off with a free new wallpaper for your iPhone or iPod touch!

It was my first time to visit a public farm in Japan when I photographed this small horse grazing on a hillside in Yamanashi Prefecture. The horses were closer to the fence until they got tired of being petted and fed grass by hand from some children. The afternoon I made this photograph was one of my most pleasant in Japan and I am glad to be reminded of it in sharing this wallpaper.

Please let me know if you use this wallpaper in the comments below.

Free Desktop Calendar Wallpaper: Colt Creek State Park HDR February 2010

Free desktop calendar wallpaper for February 2010, Colt Creek State Park HDR

Jason Collin Photography is offering the image "Colt Creek State Park HDR" as a free* desktop wallpaper calendar. If you use it as your desktop wallpaper, please let me know in the comments.

SIZES:

This image was made in September 2009 on a hot trek through little known Colt Creek State Park. Many of the trails were flooded so the view in the photograph above is as close as I got to the forest on the horizon that day. Someday I will return to the park and camp there to photograph the sunrise over the wetlands.

PURCHASE the full resolution version of "Colt Creek State Park HDR."
