That’s Why I say "Hey Man Nice Shot!!!"

I love meeting new people!

Today is the first of a special Feature series I plan to start…….Like a “Spot-Light” entry!!

One day a few weeks back I was finally looking at the website of my college’s boat club. This was prompted because I never knew when anything was going on. I was scrolling down reading the older info and I stumbled upon some group photos and a link to one of the rower’s (photographer) websites.

I then realized that it was JK a nice guy on the men’s team and I noticed he had a gallery of work……so I took a peak…
What I was not expecting was to love his photos. I really really do!!!

I don’t often like others’ photos. I love taking photos (and being in photos….yes you all know this ;) .
But as I was looking at JK’s work I found myself saying, “Man I wish I took that shot”, or “Wow I want to own that picture”, and “I wish I was there at that moment”!!!!

When I do like a photo…..I often want to know about the shot and when that info is impossible to find out I like to make up a story and then I start to fall in-love with the piece. Here I know the talented shooter and I can pick his brains and ask my questions! Yeahhhhh I love this! There is nothing better then befriended really nice people who are brimming with talent.

So the next morning after I found this gem of a photo-gallery I saw JK at the boathouse and didn’t hesitate to state that I found him out. He was very humble and “ah-shucks-like” which just makes you love the work even more!!!

So readers here is the link….to website….. thank you JK!!!

Here are my favorites:

(note if you place mouse arrow on photo you see the title)

I love the photos on Teenage Kicks (woman on stairs) page- it is classic and timeless (that could be any year, any date)…I have made up a lovely story in my head about that pic….perhaps I will tell you sometime. I feel that JK has a great sense of the use of Black and White imagery.

Purple Dale and Untitled One--- So calming and love purple hints…

The London Eye Set is my favorite. I love the Eye and think it is so great!!! I looked at these photos and wish I was there at that moment!

Spider shots……I know this is weird but I really like spiders!!! Webs are wonderful!


The Sorrow of Love (beached boat)….I look at this photo and remember my longing for love and wanting that ship to sail again….preferably with a happy couple onboard.

Walk in Fire …don’t know where this shot was taken but I hope I see some skies like this here.

After the rain…..again I love purple….and also this could be Any-City…also I made up a story (in my head) of woman with umbrella.

Amongst the Vines and Produce and Product….Clever……enough said…

Ok so that concludes My Review Hour…..

Thanks again JK!!! BRAVO!!!!!
