Grayscale completely changed this photo and gave it instant emotion. A frigget bird, all alone. Flying over darkness, and in the spotlight. This photo is enigmatic. This photo is the one you want to find when you scroll through the rolls of JPEG's. This photo is Free (not really though). JP

Cohiba lit. Can't say its my favorite cigar but better than none. One of my many weaknesses and a very symbolic picture. This could just be the break I need. If its up to me this will be in every cigar shop in Key West and from there where it goes, no one knows. I've had this picture, of my hand with a cohiba, for over a half year. I used a very fast prime lense (50mm f/1.8) to take this shot in pitch black, off a balcony, with no flash. Another favorite of mine (obviously, its on the blog). Sometimes it takes a while to figure out when you have a good shot. I know all my pictures mean something to me, thats why I take them. The hard part is figuring out when it might mean something to you. Hope you like it. And if you do, Light'em up.
I'll keep the whole dedication thing going. This one is to Landal, care of cigars on the beaches of the Bahamas. Glad you like the pics. JP

I'm guilty like the rest of us. I'm a creature of habit. I just can't get away. I'm sure living and being in Key West all the time has a lot to do with it. The sunsets are trite. The palm trees are trite. But I don't care. I keep taking pictures of them. So its been done 10,000 times. Not by me. They turn out better everytime and for some reason I just want more. I'm not sure what pulls photo enthusiasts to the photo's they shoot. This is mine. Earth, Wind, and Fire.
This one is dedicated to Laura Nugent. Enjoy. JP
