I hope the viewers who have enjoyed my flower photos don’t feel alienated as I go about my 365 adventure. Flowers and nature are just a small part of what I like to photograph. As I have mentioned in the past, I can’t really nail exactly what my photographic style is. I know I don’t fit exclusively in standard categories like…

365-272 The pressures of fame
As if it wasn’t enough pressure to come up with a somewhat interesting photo every day, with my blog being featured on WordPress Freshly Pressed today I feel like the spotlight is on me now. I was at work and decided to check my emails on my phone and noticed a large number of notification emails about my blog. So using my handy WordPress…
365-271 One of these things is not like the others
Knowing that I would be busy on the job all day, I ran out at lunch to the park to try to find a quick photo for the day. I was attracted to these purple flowers with white stems ( I can’t find what kind they are) that were obviously knocked down by the previous rains in the area. I…
365-270 No rush
Although there are signs that the seasons are changing, it will still be about another month before it really looks like autumn around here. I hope I can do the season justice in the coming weeks. Last year, I had some camera gear in for service right at the peak time and it was tough to watch the colors go…
365-269 Changes
I originally thought I was going to do an autumn photo today. I shot some leaves at lunch time and was planning to do a texture treatment during post processing. I had it all figured out and was content. But while I was at work we had a late afternoon rain shower. It came down fairly heavy. After the rain I…
365-268 Yeah, so it’s my birthday
It’s also my wife’s birthday, so that makes for a nice day together! I had another day off of work, which was sort of unexpected. Good thing too, because my lawn was way overdue for a mowing. Ooh, fun stuff. Happy birthday! We did get to have dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant though and on the way spotted this industrial building…
365-267 A day off
Today was my first actual day off in a couple of weeks. So after waking up about noon, I realized I would be visiting someplace local again for my 365 photo. I travel a lot during work so I didn’t want to venture too far from home today. As the afternoon wore on I didn’t have a photo yet so I…
365-266 Oglebay, part II
Oglebay revisited. Today I wasn’t sure how my schedule was going to play out. By lunchtime I thought I was either going to remain at work until dark or it was going to start raining very hard for the rest of the day and I would be done for the day. So I thought I would swing by the park I…
365-265 The final 100!
Whew, only 100 more days to finish my 365! I’m kind of looking forward to it because having to come up with a somewhat interesting photo every day is a bit nerve-racking at times, especially when I am busy with other things. Yet, at the same time, having to do it has pushed me creatively further than I ever would…
365-264 Keep on truckin’
I know I just did photos of an old truck the other day, but I stumbled upon another today and couldn’t resist. I was slightly ahead of schedule this morning and thought I would swing through a small town right off of the interstate. Even though I haven’t been through the town of West Alexander, Pennsylvania in probably close to 20 years, I…
