I was sitting in traffic at a red light when this big dog popped its head out a couple of cars in front of me. I happened to have my camera handy, so I grabbed a shot through my dirty windshield and into the bright late afternoon sun. No rule of thirds on this shot, within a second the dog went back…

365-70 Urban shooting
I saw this large sticker that was starting to peel off of a building and thought it could be interesting from a different angle. This is behind what was once a coffee shop. A little bit of urban art, I guess, in an alley. A rare sight where I live. even though my town has a few art galleries and…
365-69 Mellow Yellow
Yellow can be a bright cheerful color, especially after a drab winter. I didn’t head out to shoot yellow, or any other color, today. It’s still raining for the second day and I really didn’t feel like walking around and getting soaking wet so I tried to find subjects from my car. I took a shot of reflections while waiting…
365-68 Wet, rusty, and worn
If there’s anything there is no shortage of around here, it’s wet and rusty stuff. Rust because of all the industrial areas that at one time provided the economy in my town but now are closed and left to ruin. Wet because winter is ending, the snow is melting and it rains every other day now. Really pretty. 😉 So, just like all of my snow…
365-67 Made in the USA
I don’t often shoot the US flag specifically, but I was at an outlet center and saw this large flag they have on site backlit by the sun. It was one of those huge flags you often see at such places. I thought I would try a couple shots of it. I had my ISO set at 400 because I wanted…
365-66 At days end, I found something
Okay, it was dark already and I still hadn’t taken a picture for the day. While doing other things today, I just didn’t see any shots to take. Granted, I wasn’t looking too hard, so that may have been a factor. So, while I was at a shopping plaza in the evening, I spotted this cart against a post along…
365-65 Movin’ on
Number 65!! Only 300 more to go! 300?!! Yikes. Sticking around the house again today, which makes it tough to find photo subjects. I hope to get out and about more as the weather improves. I’m still layed off from my “normal” job, so I have plenty of time but no money. ;-( With gas prices rising, I have to…
New theme
I was having display problems with my blogs last theme so I decided to change it. I liked the look of “Spectrum”, the last theme but it just wasn’t working for me. I like the layout of this theme, “Koi”, but not real thrilled with the illustrations. It looks a little feminine, but if it works for me that’s all…
365-64 Wet stuff
Another rainy day. I don’t mind it though. A couple of days of rain followed by some sun and things start getting a little brighter and colorful and, hopefully, a little cleaner and all traces of winter are gone. Rainy days do present some nice photo opportunities, IF you are somewhere where such opportunities exist. I would liked to have taken…
365-63 Guitars and photography
I started this blog hoping I would talk about photography and guitars, the two things I enjoy. Well, the photography part has become a little overwhelming, mostly because of my 365 shots. I would like to write about guitars more and hopefully I’ll be able to get back on that track. I’m just not that good of a writer, so…
