I combined this icon with that of the wood nymph from Greek and Latin mythology whi...

http://www.hbutz.com/public/cnrf0502a.jpg I took up landscape photography because I figured it was easier than shooting with live models.

November 04, 2012 The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. CNN has stopped covering the recover efforts which are far from over. They are covering the pre-pre-presidential election in the United States. My deepest sympathies go out to Ohio who has to suffer far worse than New York with ...

http://www.hbutz.com/public/kcgn07790.jpg For those of you still reading my blog, you're all probably very bored with the photographs you've been looking at for the past, oh... eighteen months or so.
