Damn, this shot is 2 days early. Maybe I can come up with something that will fit in the next couple weeks.

I wish the roads were that empty here

Gotta hug the side and hope you don't get forced off by an idiot driver...

Takes some serious passion to be out doing this on a cold, gray June day in an empty velodrome.

**jce338** · 06-13-2009, 04:17 PM

Not a particually good photograph, but I thought it was interesting. I went back to the farm I used to work at today and a calf was born. This is the mother trying to keep the flies off the 2 hour old baby.

this is kind of a low res file so some info is lost, but I really liked this shot.

**JoeStrummer** · 06-13-2009, 07:40 PM

Took this on the river this week. Something I am passionate about, anyways!

**Wes Mantooth** · 06-15-2009, 10:13 AM

I don't know if this would qualify as passion, but this puppy was so obsessed with my flip flops, it sure looked like passion

**Tippster** · 06-15-2009, 10:15 AM

It may be cute but you need to nip that in the bud, HARD, right now. You will spend $$$$ on shoes otherwise.

Not mine, cousins are training her not to eat shoes though but with her foot fetish it's tough. She liked those sandals so i'd rub them on a toy she had and then she'd happily chew on the toy for a while

I don't know nufenstein, I read his face as saying "my balls... are stuck... in the saddle...."

#2 and #3

**Shepherd Wong** · 06-18-2009, 08:23 PM

Music passion.

**pappag** · 06-18-2009, 09:36 PM

There are quite a few passions in my life at the moment, but the one that will always remain with me is collecting vinyl. With the recent purchase of the Nikon WC-E75 wide angle lens, I decided to apply a different approach to my other passion, photography. The photos below were shot with the G10 while focusing through the front end of the E75.
