Photo a Day for a Year - 2003-2004

****** UPDATE- ALL photos of my ex girlfriend, and her children, have been removed. I got tired of deleting the hostile messages left under her photos by the angry wives of men she is seeing!*****

Looking through and reading Ron's comments in his PAD gallery is one of the great pleasures of every day for me. Not only to see how much his art improves each day, but also because of how enlightening, entertaining and diverse his subject matter and commentary are.

I would advise any who enter here to be sure and click any links (especially the one for Chullully in his Moraine Gallery) he provides. He uses these to expand the experience in the way only a truly great teacher, who loves his subject can. You will be surprised at how much you can enjoy learning and how much it will deepen your appreciation and expand your range of vision.

I am so proud to be part and partner to this modern day Renaissance man…In front of the lens and behind it.

Congratulations on making your one year goal. I agree totally with what you wrote in the gallery description area.

I really enjoyed looking through your PAD gallery. I can't believe the awesome images you captured EACH DAY! You're very gifted! Thanks for sharing!

I admire your dedication. And the results are certainly worth it.
Hans VR13-Oct-2004 21:35
I must say I'm most impressed with your accomplishment. Very well done!!

Great job. I've enjoyed your photo's all year long... Sean B.

Darter.. Thank you for sharing this with me. In the past months since we started talking, I've looked at this album more time than I could count. The art you've captured has stolen my breath away and, at times, given me a sense of peace and awe that settled me on my rougher days. It's sad to think that it is over.. though I already know it won't keep you from taking photographs.
And one day, years down the road, when you're very, very old.. you can look back on it all and remember everything.. even when your own memories try to get fuzzy on you.
I'll be forever glad you found another thing to bring pure joy into your life.

Awww.... gee...mom.

Ron,
I just want you to know that I have truly enjoyed viewing your photos over this entire year. What a joy it was to view the world through your eyes. You have proven over and over to be a brilliant photographer. I know that I have never written a comment till now, but this is my tribute to you. I am very proud to be your Mother. I don't think there is a need for any more words. I love you, Ron.

Very refreshing photo, perfect model and shooter. Curt and Chris
Ron Lutz II10-Mar-2004 04:56
Oh, the THIRD shot I've posted using this lense on 03-08-04 is definatly soft in focus. I know that is due to shooting while driving down the road. LOL A combo of lifting the lens up, holding itover the wheel and firing away while going around the curve, not to mention shooting through the wind shield, most likely is the culprit...LOL ;-)
Ron Lutz II10-Mar-2004 04:53
Hey Ray, thanks for the thought. I've only posted two here so far. The house sparrow on 03-04-04 and the photo of my buddy on 03-07-04. The first was maybe the third shot I had taken with this lense and the later was on a day that was overcast. I posted more of that particular shoot in the Rural PA, Winter 2004 gallery. I haven't really used this lens much yet and think it will be a while until I get the hang of it 100%. LOL It's a lot of glass... Anyway, hopefully I'll be able to learn soon enough if the images are soft due to me, which I suspect, or due to the lens itself acting up. Of course, I thought the one of the bird was pretty sharp with a well blurred back ground. The one of Jimmy was taken while he was moving along at a good pace through the underbrush, so that may have made it a tad soft as well. Thank you for the input.

First let me say that your photo's are all of superb quality as are your compositions. I view your photo's daily and am always impressed.
My main concern though is the quality of your new Canon 70-200IS. So far all 70-200 photo's that you've posted are very soft, blurred in fact. This is for sure not your fault as you are a superb photographer. Your images taken with the 28-135 and 17-40 are far sharper. Possibly a bad lens or your 10D doesn't image well with it as the 70-200IS is just about the sharpest zoom Canon makes. Just a few concerned thoughts about this very expensive lens. Keep up the superb work!!

Awwww shucks...made me blush...

This time I copied and pasted the actual link from the sites address page, so it should be active this time. Still learning about links and all that stuff. If this does not work you should also be able to go to www.stephentaylorartgroup.com Try this link though, it should now be active. http://home.earthlink.net/~stevemschmidt/ thanks.
virginiacoastline21-Feb-2004 19:44
hmm, the link didn't get me anywhere . . .hope you get a chance to return & correct it
Or, maybe it's just me - ;)
Guest 20-Feb-2004 03:02
Oops, sorry about that. Our agent still has the site under construction and probably has not set the defaut to the stephen taylor name yet. This address should get you to the site. http://home.earthlink.net~stevemschmidt Thanks, will talk with you later

Ron Lutz II19-Feb-2004 17:18
Hmmm... I did a google search for "Stephen Taylor Art Group" but didn't find anything. I hope you come back and post a link or email me....
Ron Lutz II19-Feb-2004 17:14
Another Ron Lutz?? Seems there are at least 5 in and around Pittsburgh. Interesting. I'll be sure to check out your web site.
Ron Lutz 19-Feb-2004 15:52
Great work if I do say so myself (ha ha). Really, You have a very strong eye for composition and are very proficient in interpreting all subjects that you photograph. Keep up the great work!!!!! Your portraits of Cat are exceptional, they really convey the love you have for each other. Please check out the site of my wife's and my own work at Stephen Taylor Art Group.
Guest 31-Jan-2004 15:06

I agree with Cat's statement. I noticed the same thing. Very great variety in your subjects. :)
~Cat 23-Jan-2004 00:06
Looking at your work darling what impresses me is the diversity of your images. I am never bored...with the exception of the ones of myself...I see me every day in the mirror!
Ron Lutz II10-Jan-2004 02:03
Ooops!! I fixed that typo!!
Guest 09-Jan-2004 23:49
Sorry dont mean to double post, but the photo I was talking about has the date 1-3-2003, but i'm guessing you mean 2004.
Guest 09-Jan-2004 23:47
Great pictures! I really like the one taken 01-03-04.

Welcome! I'm only about a week ahead of you. It has been fun, a few days have been challenging, but that's why I have sock monkies! They are my back-up when I get stuck. Stay with it, it will make you look at EVERYTHING as a possible photo. Really gets the Right side of the brain moving!
Pall Gudjonsson03-Oct-2003 23:28
