This is a portion of a sculpture on the roof of the Tacoma Glass Museum. I saw this as a perfect example of a frame within a frame earlier in the day and knew that I had to come and shoot it later that evening.

Someone is using my name in an attempt to scam people. I am not now nor have I ever been looking for any kind of assistant. I certainly wouldn't ever ask anyone to cash a check to me or to make a Western Union payment to anyone else (especially not someone in Manilla!). This is a classic Fake Check scam. Learn more about that at www.fakechecks.org. If you've been in contact with this person, please report them ASAP!

I found the online photography school BetterPhoto.com on del.icio.us and decided that I wanted to take a few classes. My first class is a composition class. My weekly assignments consist of three images that are critiqued by a professional photographer. So far so good. I am planning on putting all the out takes and final pictures in here for the world to see. Hopefully some progress will be made. These photos are not for sale, but you may download the large sized image for free.

Mike Lane > A fisherman is all alone on Commencement Bay at sunrise.

Mike Lane > This image was taken for a photo class that I'm taking. This week we're studying line. Notice how your eye follows the path of the dock, that's what I'm going for here.

This photo was deemed one of the class photos of the week!

Mike Lane > This week in my composition course at BetterPhoto.com we are studying rhythm. The rhythm of the inverted "U" bike rack is obvious to me. I kind of like how the bikes are positioned in the photo as well.

Mike Lane > This week's lesson is on rhythm. I see rhythm in this photo in the repeating crossed curved lines.

Mike Lane > one of the reflecting pools and sculptures at the Tacoma Glass Museum. I like how the bright daylight prevents the viewer from seeing the bottom of the pool and makes the repetition of the retangle stand out much more.
