Your Bio

Hello,
Just a short bit to fill the space and make this interesting. My Name is Joe Cooper; I created this account so I could share more than the "amazing" photos I wish I could always produce but more of a new and hopefully ongoing photo documentary of the occasions I venture out of my little dark room into the world of light armed with my photographic equipment. I am not completely new to online life and have posted a considerable amount of writing and some graphics at 2 other sites. One site more geared towards artisic photography joe's deviantart:, and another site geared more towards poetic prose joe's poetry:. I liked the idea of just a simple place to display pictures and even have a bit of a backup for the occasional computer catastrophy... So enough of who I am in prose, I do hope you enjoy my galleries and do find something of enough interest to drop me a note. You can also checkout whatever you may find at Myspace here joe's Space:
kindest regards,
Joe

Yosemite may 2012 : some pictures taken on a quick drive thru of Yosemite. some pictures are taken with a point and shoot s-100 and others are taken with 5d mark 1. it may be worth your time to look at a couple of the same pictures and the tag info as 5d pictures are substantially better than s-100 pictures even though they are close to the same pixel count and image size. as always due to Smug mugs resizing algorithms full size is the only size that shows the real detail in all the leaves grass and textures.

Seabeck Holly Valentines Day 2005 : This is the last trip that my Mom and I went on the day before Valentines Day 2005, She had one thing to say to me as she watched me take pictures, she wanted to know if I was having fun. I will never forget that, it was one of the last genuine moments my mom and I shared in our journey in Photogrpahy. These are all un touched in photoshop, the exposure could and can be drastically tweaked but I have become a minimalist photographer lately so please excuse me if the exposures are too narrow in gamut. My mom used to call the rays "God rays" She would always look at the sky and comment how "God is the Master Painter" He is indeed, and I am but a humble journalist documenting his daily masterpieces.

transalta powerplant trip jan 2006 : This was a trip out to do a few things to visit my good friend and fellow photographer's dad who is Bob Farmer as well, and it was a chance to see w powerplant that his brother works at. We got the awesome full tour inside and while we were about we took in some scenery in the Centralia WA area which was a lot of fun as well. Not too many great pictures but more a documentary and such. There are some pretty cool picts of the plant and generators inside the rest are well filler in my opinion. enjoy

My first wedding shoot : rst chance at shooting a wedding and I grabbed the ones I thought were some of the best, I shot this in the worst conditions and I was somewhat happy with tthe results but learned the camera, well it really does matter (locked up not one but "2" camera waiting for buffers to clear and didn't get the bride handoff, well live and learn LOL It was a great experience though, I would definitely do it again, but with a 2nd photographer for sure

The Christmas Post : I was out of town and my close friend and brother in Christ Daylin Pritchard invited me to the opening performance of this play at the Westwood Christian Assembly in White Center Washington (Located in an extraneous inner city suburb of Seattle for people that are looking that aren’t familiar with the area). I really enjoyed the performance and I had a lot of fun being allowed to photograph their first performance of the Christmas Post. The play was a skit about the pitfalls and consequences of running "Too tight of a ship" for a holiday that "everyone" has a stake in. It was a wonderful play with a novel theme. I will update this later and let some of the participants update as time goes along. I hope you enjoy the photographs and may God bless you. I wish all who view a wonderful Christmas.
