Rich Tatum > Through a Glass Darkly 
This is not artificial, virtual, or software-induced distortion. This is really what I look like, and it's not a pretty sight. At least, that is, when you're peeping at me through a wavy table-top. (Though, honestly, I did add some digital smoothing and saturation enhancement.)

It's my best side.

Rich Tatum > A Drop of Light 
Since I saw fit to shoot more pix of my marble, I threw a little attention toward my glass bead, as well. Same treatment, different outcome.

Rich Tatum > Canned Tornados 
I have this glass egg with a swirl of bubbles in it, it's sort of a paperweight. I've taken a few shots of it before, but this one's my current favorite.

Rich Tatum > Sepia Me Driving Home 
Took this back when I was still in Tennessee (and still happy about that, too). I'm in my new Hyundai, driving home after church and lunch in Madison, Tennessee.

Can't do anything about my mug, but if I put a nice, harsh sepia tone on it, it's acceptably bad instead of merely tremendously bad. :: grin ::

Rich Tatum > Happy at Carraba's 
Jen wasn't feeling too well one night early in December, so I volunteered to give her the night off. I dropped her at home after church and headed out to a local eatery with the kids. It was the last relaxed night alone we'd have together for a while, and I'm glad I took the opportunity.

The kids loved it! AJ even took a couple pictures of the restaurant. Here he is, sticking his tongue out and giving the gangsta &quot;peace five-ever&quot; sign. I think. (Dope!) :: grin :: 

We're just outside the restaurant, bathed in the glow of the night-time lights.

Rich Tatum > Globe Project (3 of 7): The World at My Fintertips 
Shot this one at night. I'm holding the 1-watt LED flashlight in the same hand just below the globe.

------------------------------------------------------------

I'm working on a design for an up-coming financial report for my church. Traditionally, this report features a world-missions theme in the design. So, while standing on our worship pastor's office, I spied this little crystal globe on her desk. So, I stole it. You'll probably see a few more treatments of this - hope you don't get bored!

Rich Tatum > Globe Project (4 of 7): I've Got the Whole World in My Hand 
Used my 1-watt LED light on this one, as well. The light's in the same hand, I'm shooting with the other. Striking!

Actually, the pose I had to hold to get this shot was probably striking, as well! I didn't want the spotlights and street lamps around my house to show up in the shot, so I am actually holding the globe about a foot or so above my head, and trying to get a good angle, a good composition, a good highlight and to not drop either the glass globe or the LED flashlight were challenging.

I'm sure if anybody saw me, I would've looked quite silly.

But the shot speaks for itself. It's worth it!

Rich Tatum > Working Man's Blues 
Just a picture of me sitting in my new office, back with it was only a week-old job working at a megachurch in Tennessee. Sadly, this job only lasted two months.

It was a good ride while it lasted!

Rich Tatum > Sleepy AJ (2 of 3) 
AJ, totally drugged out after a day at the hospital getting an EEG. He's got ADHD, so his EEG had to be taken without meds of any sort. Unfortunately, without meds, he didn't sleep at all the night before, and the sedative they gave him to make him sleep at the hospital really laid him flat!

Read all about it here.
