Taken close to Lamar University. It is located on the East side of the ML King drive or Spur 380 on the North Bound lane.

We use Tex Joy spices all the time but we have to wait until we go back to Texas to get them or we have a family member mail us some. You cannot get them any where else in the country as they are made in Beaumont Texas.

I think that this is perhaps one of the best examples of a "Depth Of Field" and "Bokeh" that i have ever taken. The pile of metal in the center is from a "Mag Drill"

I chose to not use a flash and just use the ambient lighting. The pile of metal shavings in the foreground is out of focus as is everything in the background. I love the lights and big door open and the effects that happened with the light from the items. The blurring off the background turned out amazing to me.

I do not know if i could make this photo again.
