Gladiators enjoy modern luxuries like cigarettes and cell phones. I have no clue who these people are. One of the most recognizable buildings ever. A view from the Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge) in Firenze, Italia. I have no clue who these people are either. If you haven’t tried taking photos of strangers, it’s a lot [...]
Can you tell which photos are of Ariana and which ones are of Elliott? Leave a comment with your guesses.
Renee and I went to check out Art Basel this past Thursday night. We couldn’t find parking in the Design District, so we utilized the Midtown Miami parking garage. Before heading out, we ducked in to Target to buy diapers. Renee snapped this photo as I was paying for the diapers (and the half dozen [...]
Pet photos get a bad rap, and rightfully so. They are often taken at eye level looking down with harsh on-camera flash. They are out of focus, motion-blurred, and composed poorly. Dogs are slightly more cooperative than cats. Many animals don’t like flash.

Miami is where we call home. We live well outside the proper city limits of Miami, but it’s still within the Miami Metropolitan Area. Click on the picture to the left to view it at a larger size. I plan on posting a new photo every week. Digital photography has made it so easy to [...]
Welcome to a new feature on ReneeAndElliott.com. Do you know the answer to “Photo of the Week” plus “Welcome to a new feature…” = ? Or will there be a justified utterance of “DEE-Dee-dee!?” I wil take a break from the acerbic wit and describe the photo. Lincoln Road in Miami Beach is one of [...]
Photoshop Has Many Uses I am very proficient in Photoshop, as I use it in a professional capacity just as much as I use it for pleasure.
