Butcher Shop, originally uploaded by john m flores. Via Flickr:I’ve got this thing for mundane photos.

Via Flickr:The cats are real jealous – a second sunflower has bloomed in the yard and I’ve been taking plenty of photos of it instead of sleeping cats. Most recently, I’ve used a set of Pentax K-mount lenses, the legendary DA35 F2.8 Macro Limited and the well-regarded Tamron…

Move to Amend – Princeton Junction NJ, originally uploaded by john m flores. Brought the GH2 to it’s first indoor event, a political meeting at a local library. As with most places of this ilk, the lighting is mostly poor dim fluorescent and the room colors a mix of drab and more drab. The night…
