Bird Watching

Went down to San Pedro (Ca.) this Saturday to do some BIRD WATCHING and shooting (photography), and this is one of what I was able to capture.

I think it's pretty cool and majestic. Hope you like it too.

Thanx 4 Viewing my work!

Real Giants

I finally did it! I went to see the Giant Sequoia Trees. It is very hard to explain how large and unrealistic these natural giants are, but if I could, in a word, I'd say Jurassic! They are so beautiful and majestic, it almost brings tears to your eyes...if you're a nature lover like me.

Anyway, here is one picture for you to view to kinda get an idea of what I am talking about, but if you'd like to see more, visit my website (www.robersonimages.com) gallery entitled Travel. There you'll see a gallery entitled Giant Sequoia Forest.


I hope you enjoy the pics as much as I did.

GIANT Sequoia Photography

It's back on you guys! I am on my way to shoot the Giant Sequoia National Forest. Next week Saturday (9-29-07), I will be out on a trek to see these Great Marvels up close and personal for myself.

I have seen photos on the internet, but they do it no justice. Now, don't get me wrong, I will be displaying my photos on the net as well, but I give you my promise as an advanced amateur photographer that my images will be of the highest quality, and able to be more than just seen on my website (www.robersonimages.com), but will also be able to be printed for you to have in your home, office or business.

I will definitely upload beautiful pictures as soon as I return, but I just wanted to let you all know now so that you will have something to look forward to ;-).

I will be making my trek and taking my photos on the 29th, and will have them up for display by the 30th.

If you would like to have me take specific photos for you throughout the forest, please contact me here, or through my website.

I look forward to reading your comments on the images I take.

Super clear day at the Pier.

So, this past Saturday, I was down at the Beach in Long Beach, and decided to stroll down to the Pier and take some pics of the days events. This is what I was able to capture. Hope you like 'em.






You can find more HERE! Just click on Gallery, and look at the Street Photography, and Flowers, Birds, Insects & Trees section to see all the rest.

San Fracisco Bay Area Tour 9-8-2007

Unfortunately, I have to postpone my Photo Trip to shoot the Sequoia National Forest. I have something a little more important and personal to do instead, but do not fret, I will be shooting the forest very soon, but 1st, I want to....no, I HAVE TO shoot the San Francisco Bay Area!

I'm not just going there to shoot the obvious...Bay Bridge, I'm going there to shoot EVERYTHING...or at least try to ;-).

On the days of Sept. 7-8 (Fri-Sat.), I will be in San Francisco, starting with a couple of Night Shots on Fri, and the rest of (most of) the city on Sat.

If you are interested in having me shoot a particular location in a specific way, please let me know. If not, you will be able to find all of the photos taken on Monday, 9-10-2007 in my photo gallery under TRAVEL, entitled San Francisco Bay. These photos will all be available for print and purchase on CD, so feel free browse my website (www.aimlessphotography.com), purchase some photos, and decorate your home, office, or personal place of business.

General Sherman

In two weeks, on the day of 8/18/2007 (Sat.) I will be visiting and shooting the Giant trees in the Sequoia National Forest. These trees stand roughly 290+ feet tall, and are wide enough to drive an SUV through.

I will be there to see, and shoot great photos of these majestic giants. If you'd like me to shoot specific pictures for you, please visit my website for details.

Thank you.

I'm Back....and on a Quest to see the WORLD!!!

As some of you may have read my blog and seen my photography website, you would have noticed a category in my navbar entitled "Photo Trips". Basically, my "Photo Trips" are trips that I am taking, or am going to take to see all the 50 states (and not just drive through, but visit), as well as most other countries of the world.

I have a quest to be a Travel Photographer, and why not start with our own 50 states?

I haven't traveled in 15-years prior to my recent "Photo Trip" to North Carolina, and that trip did exactly what I thought it would, which was awaken my Travel Bug! Now that I have gotten over my slight fear of flying (somewhat), I am plotting my next state to visit and photograph.

My next quest is the state of Arizona...namely, the Grand Canyon (unless I decide to stay in Cali and visit Yosemite first....I will let you know. Just visit my website (Photo Trips) to stay up on where I'll be. I'll post my trips at least 2-weeks before I go).

Now, I know this is nothing all too special, and most of you reading this have probably seen more of the world than I have, but for me, it is EVERYTHING! I am not built for the 9-5 corporate world! I'm not saying that I'm going to stop working and live like a bum, but what I am going to do is continue to pursue my career/dream, and keep traveling and photographing ALL of my trips to the 50 states, and when I conquer that quest, then it's onward to the other countries and continents. I WILL see Australia before I die ;-)!!

Anyway, here's two pics of my trip to Fayetteville, North Carolina. There was not much to see, but I did my best ;-)

IN A WHILE

I know I haven't posted in long while y'all, but I have been extremely busy with my latest passion/career...PHOTOGRAPHY!!!

Please take a moment to view my site. I think my work is pretty good, and I am getting better by the day.....or at least I think so ;-)

Anyway, please visit www.aimlessphotography.com and lemme know what you think. Purchase a picture or two if you see something you like ;-)

If you need me for a shoot, and you're local, we may be able to meet. If not, you can always book me to shoot something out here in Los Angeles or Orange County California for you. You can find my rates and ALL my info on my site.

Have fun viewing ;-) and thank you!

WHAT'S IN A SMILE

Why do the smiles that we receive from strangers make us feel so good? Is it the fact that they are acknowledging our existenced, or just that they are courteous enough to do so? Well, have you ever taken the time to really look at someone's smile, or more importantly, how fast their smiles drop as soon as they past you?

I like to smile when I see co-workers, or strangers because I know that it makes them feel good, but when I smile, I like to make sure that it is genuine. I'm not one to smile just as I'm passing someone just because.....I like to smile if I mean it. If not, I may grin a little, but I don't over-do it.

But....there are lots of people, if not most of us, that do.

I really love people watching, and monitoring people's social behavior, and what I've noticed lately are the fake, or passing smiles that I receive daily. I have to say that I tend to receive more fake, or passing smiles from foreigners that natives/locals, but I do receive passing smiles from natives just the same. Maybe foreigners do it as a nice way of communication, but what about the locals. Is it because we're taught to do so, or do we really mean it?

To clarify a little, what I mean when I say "passing" smiles, I mean those big bright, make you feel good smiles that you get when you're near, or passing someone, but, as soon as they are out of your sight, their faces drop as if you were never there. That is so fake and worthless to me, and that's why I ask, "What's in a Smile"?

Is a smile really worth it if it's not heart-felt?

If it's not real?

If it's just done until you're out of sight?

For me, the answer is no.

I tend to smile at those I'm either happy to see, or that I may find cute ;-), but still, my smile is real. When I smile at someone, I usually hold it for a while...maybe out of habit, or out of pure consciousness, but that's just me. What I also do when I smile is look back at the person who just smiled at me to see if he, or she is still smiling, and often times, they are not and that just kills my "happy" mood. It pretty much makes me not want to smile, but then that defeats the whole purpose of being sociable, and that is something that we could all stand to be a little more of.

Everyone often seems to be either high stressed, or too caught-up in work or their own social agendas to where all we can do is try to smile, and continue to move on. It's a feeble attempt at being polite, but without that fake passing smile, where would we be?

These are just my thoughts on how people interact and although they seem to be weak at best, I guess it's better than nothing.

So, what does a smile mean to you?

QUESTIONS THAT HAUNT ME!

These were sent to me by my Uncle. Check these out!


* Can you cry under water?

*How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

*If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

*Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?

*Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

*Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.

*Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

*Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

*Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?

*Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you,
but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Well.....what did y'all think?
