Feeling nautical

Since I have a few days of from work, my wife and I took a quick drive “up” north to Lake Erie. We basically just went for the night to get out of town. Sitting on the dock and watching the sunset as sailboats went by was a little more relaxing than listening to trucks and three-color Cavaliers driving past…

No photo blues

It’s been so long since I posted anything and yet I still don’t have any new worthy pics! Sure, I’ve been taking some photos but they have been more along the lines of gear testing photos which are painfully boring since they are mainly for analysis.  But one of my test shots is unlike all of the others…..it moves! That’s…

Keeping it yellow

May as well stay with a theme. No textures this time though. Taken in a bank parking lot.

Some weekend art experiments

I’m just kind of sticking around the house this weekend, even though there are some cool events happening nearby that would be fun to see, like the Pittsburgh Blues Festival and the Vintage Grand Prix. Perhaps next year when my house is situated a little better. For now I have other things to focus on. That doesn’t mean I am not…

Something got wet

As dry as it has been, at least the corn got some rain yesterday and today. Unfortunately the rain came in the form of heavy storms which causes problems more than it helps any drought situations. As an example, I was driving through the hills of West Virginia yesterday and had to turn around multiple times due to flash flooding. A tough…

Something normal in Pittsburgh

On Saturday evening my wife and I found ourselves close enough to Pittsburgh for me to try to get a shot of the city at dusk. It was a beautiful evening and I thought, after looking at the sky, that I would get some interesting clouds in the background and that it may be worth a shot. Well by the time…

More window watching

Since my last post went over like a lead balloon, I guess I have no choice but to continue posting. Eventually I’ll get it right. Of course some interesting photography would help but, alas, I have none. I am not worried, I shall prevail and soon I will be gracing these pages with works of the highest caliber. Until then, please enjoy…

Forms

I wasn’t planning on posting anything today, mainly because I really haven’t been shooting anything of substance lately. But with a wild weekend planned of working on my house I thought I should put something up because it may be a while before I get to explore any photographic avenues. These are some old pipes near a work site that…

A sign

Well, an old one, for a classic beverage. Seen on the side of a very old and crooked barn. Nothing fancy, I just liked the colors and weathered look of it all.

More dry things

May as well stick with a theme for a couple posts! I got to take some photos of an old house I discovered in a nearby town and this is one of the detail shots. I saw the house a few months ago and finally decided to take the drive and get a few shots of it.
