Surprise, the rain is back. Looks like another seven-day stretch. Had a nice hailstorm this afternoon and I took a shot of my windshield:-(. I know, I know – it’s lame, but it’s all I have right now. I also drove through the park and although there wasn’t much to shoot I took a few shots into the woods. I liked the…

365-131 Aspirations of the uninspired
My images have been a bit uninspiring lately. I don’t know what it is. Maybe the change in weather, maybe I’ve exhausted all of the possibilities in my immediate surroundings. Probably more than anything, a change in environment would help me artistically and even more, mentally. Since being layed off, I’ve been around home more than I have ever been…
365-130 Study in color
As opposed to yesterdays title, todays photo is about color. More pink than any other color but colorful nonetheless. These photos were taken in front of a Michaels arts and crafts store. I needed to buy something crafty today and I saw these colorful items on the sidewalk display and grabbed a few shots. I don’t do much crafty things…
365-129 Study in black and white
Well, the cows are black and white! Took a quick drive through the rural parts of town. The late afternoon sunlight was beautiful and enhanced just about everything. I got a few pictures of the cows before the sun hid behind the hills. Both shots are simple portraits so I don’t have much to add technically. Pentax K20D, DA55-300. Rural…
365-128 Hmm, I can’t think of a catchy title
Nor can I really think of much to say today. One of those kind of days, I guess. Todays shot was taken at a loading dock in the rear of a grocery store. I was driving by and the bright color of the pallets against the black caught my eye. A simple, straightforward composition. I didn’t want to push my access…
365-127 Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door
Well I didn’t see any giants doing cartwheels or statues wearing high heels but I did turn to see the outdoor color reflecting in the glass of my kitchen door. I wanted the color to be subtle and of course no reflected detail so I focused on the string and let everything else blur. Blind
325-126 All about texture
I’m kind of running out of time tonight so I’ll keep the text short. I did my usual ride around town again and although not looking for anything in particular, I found textures more than anything. My 365 shot is just an odd sight on the side of an old building downtown. What the purpose is I have no idea but…
365-125 Times toll
I finally got around to shooting that machinery I mentioned a couple of days ago. I tried twice before to shoot an abstract but the light level was just too low to work with. Today was certainly brighter and nicer than it has been of late. The machinery is in a shady area so I still was on the edge of being able to…
365-124 Cemetery Part 1
One of those days again where I didn’t get out until late. The town is looking uninspiring lately and the lighting was drab anyhow so I cruised through the cemetery again to find some textures and details. I’ll add some more tomorrow when I have more time. Adios. Waves
365-123 Take green, add water
Surprise! It’s pouring down rain again today! Absolutely lovely! The bright side is, I guess, that it’s not snow. So I thought I may as well take advantage of the rain and use it creatively. After running some errands, my wife and I stopped for a drive-through dinner and parked my truck under a tree at the corner of the parking lot.…
