Photographer Feature: Allison Cavanaugh

Allison Cavanaugh hopes to mimic the travels of a nomad someday. She is currently majoring in art and communications and hopes to make photography a part of her career. She finds conceptual photography to be particularly satisfying but will shoot at just about anything in her way.

Silence was part of a series on censorship she did about two years ago.  Arachnawhat is more recent, it's part of a tarantula series she just started, featuring her tarantula, and Scream is part of a recent mud series.

On a completely unrelated note... I put up some polls on the side of the page.  Please take a moment to vote.  Thank you!!

Pastel Playground

As I said in the last post, I went to Sea World on my birthday with Danny.  Everything was so happy, the people, the decorations, the playful sea lions (more to come on that).  The main atraction was obviously the aquatic life, but the overall decoration of the place was rather lovely.  Since it's in San Antonio, a lot of the plants are more desert standards.  Being from the Northeastern United States, that looks pretty foreign.  Add onto that Florida pastel buildings and statues... and the whole place looks  kitchy and fun.  This playground is a pretty decent indication of the feel of the place.

A note for everyone... you may notice that I changed the format of the page again, just a little bit this time.  The header is smaller, I'm listing fewer blogs on the sidebar, and I have links to other places where you can check out my work.  Please, let me know what you think!  I know that a lot of people look at this blog, but I don't hear from many of you that often.  Great ways to let me know your opinions are by checking the boxes at the bottom of each post (the ones that say beautiful, cool, interesting, etc.) or by leaving a comment.  Anyone can leave a comment- you don't have to be a google member.  Where it says Google ID, just scroll down and choose Name/  URL.  The URL doesn't have to be a real one either :P

If you really like what you see, why not follow me?  Click on the box that says "Follow" in the sidebar.  Or, just click on this link right here.

Thank you!!

Holes in the Sand

There was this one area in Coney Island, just off of the pier, where about ten children were digging shallow holes in the sand.  They'd wait for the waves to fill them up, then sit in them, cooling off in the shallow, constructed tide pool.  This little boy was waiting for his to fill up again.

Frogger

This is probably the coolest fountain that I have ever seen.  It's in the gardens of the Chateau de Versailles, Louis XV's grand palace in France.  When it is turned on, it is spectacular.  But, when the water is not running, it looks nifty as well.  Animals spit water in different directions, creating lines of water that curve in beautiful patterns.

Like a Lamb

A mother sheep and her two little lambs.

I just thought they were cute.

If you like sheep, like I do, you will probably also like Grazing.  That one is a superior photograph, really.  But this one has baby sheep in it.
