For the longest time, the favorite picture I have taken was of two little birds in an alley way in downtown Wichita. I still feel lucky to have captured this because I had to get very very close to them before taking this. The bad thing with using a film camera (yes, they exist still) is if you have a subject like these little birds, you usually have one chance. And in fact, after snapping this photo I lowered my camera and they had flown away. My first thought was 'Shit, oh well.' I was very happy afterwards.
Recently, I have found a new favorite. I took it at the Wilson's Creek National Park in Missouri. It was in the Ray House, the only original building left standing at the park. In the house, visitors had some free reign as far as pictures were concerned. They can get close up and take pictures like this one. Everything that a visitor can get to is a recreation, any original was behind ropes or glass.
For the time being, this candle on table ranks highest on all of the pictures that I will take credit for.
