This is my third edit from what I posted a few months ago. The first was true color, the second was B&W (the girl in color). With this edit I decided to bring out some other colors and I also gave the random people some motion. My goal was to capture the emotion and solitude of the girl, which...

Woohoo, I get to show off my desktop. I added to what was a shelf, desk, chair and cork board in a blank room *** I tried really hard to get a Foosball table in there. Just couldn't get it to work with the imagery.

This picture is of a family making their wishes, or offerings at a Shinto shrine in Okinawa. Some believe this is a way to connect to their ancestral culture, so this picture takes dual meaning to outside looking in. Model: NIKON D90 DateTime: 2012:02:05 20:10:26...

I was at an old ruins in Japan today, and as I was eying up this area when this boy appeared out of nowhere, and then quickly turned around because he saw me. It shot underexposed because I didn't have time to adjust. When I opened it for editing, I immediately thought of this as something...

I figured I'd give it a whirl... I agree with ohk, I think the biggest problem is you cannot make out what it is. I always like toying with photos, so here is my take. I really liked the mid contrast in this photo.

Background: The side streets in Okinawa tend to be very narrow (enough to fit one car, usually), so to make life easier the government installed street mirrors EVERYWHERE. These simple orange mirrors can translate in to really interesting photographs. I took this when I went out exploring, and...

Forgot about the bridge challenge when I went out yesterday... Just happened to get this one.

Well, as far as juxtaposition, to me this would be looked from an opposite view.

I've already uploaded multiple photos over the past few months (even a few days ago) however when I tried today I receive this message. hotrocks, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: Your user account may not have sufficient privileges...
