My original plans were to go to the arts festival again in Pittsburgh today. I thought it was a nice day and I always like to shoot in the city. But those plans got thwarted because some business I was trying to take care of ended taking too much time. So, later in the day I remembered a park that’s…

365-160 Bugged about photos
I have been having a few days now where I’m not too inspired photographically. I have those every once in a while and I’m not too concerned, yet. I think it just makes it boring for my viewers here. I apologize for that. I have some “life” issues that I’m taking care of right now and the photography is kind…
365-159 Little pink houses
Well I don’t really think this was an actual house at any time. I think it was more of a roadside business of some type. I can’t really remember what it was but it’s on a the side of a busy road south of Pittsburgh. I pass by it quite often and thought about photographing it some day but I…
365-158 No deep insights
Not much to add today. I basically stayed around the house. I saw some rose petals had fallen from my neighbors rose bush and went over to take a look. I saw the petals in this plant with really cool curvy leaves and I liked the contrast in color. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Ravage
365-157 Wally world
Running late again. I’ve seen these skylights on the Wal-Mart roof plenty of times at night and always thought that there may be a shot there. I like repeating patterns. What I didn’t notice before was all of the distractions (wires, vents, lights, HVAC, etc.). So it was tough to get even a little bit of a pattern from my vantage point.…
365-156 Just playin’ around
I saw this cherub figurine in a gift shop window and snapped a shot. I only took the one shot and didn’t think much of it when I did. The straight shot was decent enough but I thought I would throw a little processing fun in the works for a change. In Photoshop, I Did a Topaz Adjust layer and…
365-155 Roadside blunder
It was getting dark and I haven’t taken a single photo for the day yet. Not feeling like traveling too far from where I was I thought I would try some long exposure shots of highway traffic. I know, real original eh? I thought I would be able to get a clear shot from the edge of a nearby supermarket parking…
Buildings and water in Pittsburgh
A few shots from yesterday. All Pentax K20D.
365-154 Yes, actual people!
Regulars viewers know that it’s rare for me to show people pictures. I don’t have anything against them, I just don’t normally try to take any. And when I do, I don’t think I bring anything new to the table, creatively. I’ll leave that to others. But today was the first day of the Three Rivers Arts Festival in downtown…
365-153 Another last minute shot
It’s been a really long and trying day. I was dealing with employment issues which I’ll discuss later. I didn’t get around to even thinking about a picture until near sundown. I happened to be near a park and pulled in just as the sun was filtering through the trees in the woods. I only had my DA55-300 and no tripod, so…
