Pictures & Quotations
|
We find the
right picture can really increase the power of a quotation. We
have been experimenting with adding famous quotations
to some of our pictures. You can see the results
here. |

balloon Pictures
We were living in Albuquerque, New Mexico when the first
balloon event was held. We didn't go the first time,
but were able to attend in 1972. Since that time the
Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta has grown into the
largest hot air balloon event in the world with participation
limed to 800 balloons.
The balloonn fiesta is reputed to be the most photographed
event in the world. It is special because attendees
are allowed to mingle with the balloons and their crews as
they launch. They are not looking on from stands, they
are right in among the balloons. This makes it very
special and permits great pictures.
You can be taking pictures from just a few feet away as
the crew uses a fan to begin the initial filling of the balloon,
when they light the burners, and when they lift off. You
can get pictures of the INSIDE of the balloon as it lifts. All
in all, it's very special.
Walking Rain Gallery
This website displays only a few of our collection of balloon
pictures. At Walking Rain Gallery we have more, as
well as many pictures of other subjects. Clicking
links on this site will take you to the balloon category
of Walking
Rain Gallery. Once
there you can see all of our balloon pictures and order
whatever pictures and/or products you would like. We
invite you to look around and see what we have in other categories
while you are there.
About us and our balloon pictures
We enjoy photography and use the income from sales of our
pictures and products to finance more travel and photography. However,
we find the rights management conditions required by stock
photo companies unreasonable.
Our copyright and digital rights management is very simple:
you can do anything you want with these images, including
using them for commercial products, except claim
you have a copyright to the original image. We retain
the right to use the images ourselves in any way we please. Fair
enough?
We have included images on the website which are not
large enough to print a 5" x
7" at
300 DPI. The download for those is free. We think
that is a good way to let customers test our shopping cart
and enjoy pictures which are to small for demanding uses.
Techniques & Technology I got my first camera (a Nikkormat) in 1965 and have been
taking pictures ever since. We took slides for many
years and then converted to film. We finally made the
move to digital and are still in the conversion process. This
and related sites are being built by converting our huge
collection of negatives to digital, editing them with Photoshop,
and building websites based on the pictures and our experiences
taking them. It's a lot of work so it will be a while
before these sites can be considered a finished project. We
think there is a lot to enjoy in the meantime through. |

Pictures & Proverbs
|
Proverbs are
strong, insightful statements which are still relevant
today. We like to combine pictures with a variety
of proverbs because the visual dimension can potentiate
the power of the written word. You can see our
work here. |
