Here’s a little creativity that I came up with. This is a single photo of a sunflower that I took three years ago when I was visiting my family in southwest Nebraska. I passed a sunflower field and got out and took several pictures. This one of a single sunflower turned out to be the best picture. I then manipulated it using a filter in Paint Shop Pro. The filter (Red Prince Flip ‘n Rolls) basically takes the reds, greens and blues within a color picture and then flips them around.

In the bleak midwinter
Photo of my backyard taken this week. It's the time of year when all of the colors lose their vibrancy and become monochromatic.

It's Christmas time in the city...
Photo of my home with all of the outside lights illuminated. I took advantage of the Wal-Mart "Black Friday" frenzy and bought myself a new digital camera -- a Kodak Easy Share Z760. It has a night setting so the temperature was still warm enough to take it outside with my tripod.

Sammy Sosa
Here's a photo I took of former Chicago Cubs outfielder Sammy Sosa when he hit his 61st home run on September 13, 1998 at Wrigley Field off of Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Bronswell Patrick. This photo was taken with my trusty old Canon A-1.
Sosa's feat has subsequently been tarnished by suggestions that he and other major league players used steroids...hence the term "steroid era" has been coined to refer to the late '90s and early '00s.
I applied Photoshop filters to slightly age the photo and to make it appear very old.
