Photography, yay! (Warning: Very, VERY dial-up unfriendly)
Stifled Dreams:
That spider is all types of amazing. I love how it is slightly grotesque, but still really stunning.
I actually didn't get to scan in my picture, and now I will not be able to use a scanner until '06. Oh well.
Orchid:
Hey... I'm a complete newbie to photography, so my stuff's probably not going to be very good. Still, I'll never get better without criticism, right?
These are my favorites so far. I took them in Italy this spring, so sadly I can't go retake them to fix anything but I'm trying to learn from their flaws.
A vegetable stand in Florence.
One of the few b/w shots I've got. It's the ruins of Pompeii, with(I think) Vesuvius in the background.
Venice alleyway. Was trying to include the flag in the window as obviously as possible.
Florence again. "Pace" is Italian for "Peace."
Another from Florence. This one's one of my favorites. :)
o hay nature :B This is from Capri.
SearchingForThree:
here's some of my favs that i've taken, most of them from in and around my school (excuse the weird texture on some of them, my scanner isn't the best, and they do look a little large...maybe i'll get around to optimizing them :p):
This one was taken using a pinhole camera that i made out of a Quaker Oats container. Put a very small hole in a box along with a piece of photographic paper and expose it for about thirty seconds. The tube shape of the container gave it the warped look:
I developed this one using a technique called solarization which is basically pulling the picture out of the developing chemicals before its finished, rinsing it with water, re-exposing it under an enlarger, then completing its run through the chemicals:

Stifled Dreams: Thanks.
SearchingforThree: I like the shoe picture, it's very warm. Also, that pinhole is great, I hope you kept that camera. I love the look of pinhole images (says the dude who's currently got over a pound of glass in front of his camera).
Stifled Dreams:
Yeah, pinhole cameras for the win! I seriously think the most fun part is constructing them, though. I have not made one in a tube before, only in a shoebox.
