Window to the world or window to the soul?  Either way, worth a second look...

I shot this at a local garden in the dead of winter awhile back... always loved the textures and colors.  As we step out into an unknown, uncharted new year, it seems appropriate.

I didn't even REALIZE the tree in the front window of this restaurant was on a revolving stand.  I set my shutter speed at about 30 seconds and got a great surprise! More night shots at http://melodyburri.zenfolio.com/p187594253

This was all kinds of fun - just experimented with lighting and my homemade "photo box" to capture the feel of some of my favorite foods.  Check out the whole collection at http://melodyburri.zenfolio.com/p44041425

Sometimes you've just gotta have fun.  I did one night recently on main street - peeking in a music store window decorated for Christmas.  Nothing was open at that hour, but I definitely got what I came for.

Here are some commercial photos I took recently at a nearby ceramics studio.  I was there to help host an outing for a few van loads of urban kids.  Turned out I had as much fun as they did!  Check out the rest of the collection at http://melodyburri.zenfolio.com/p44041425
