If you are questioning yourself why you keep visiting this site, especially when I am posting photos like this, I wouldn’t blame you. My output has been a bit ho-hum and along with a gazillion other things I am trying to accomplish right now, these pages haven’t been too entertaining of late. But the reason I am showing this photo that I shot…

Who, wha, huh?
Between getting busy at work and following that with getting sick yet again, this past week has been somewhat of a blur. I’m still recuperating a bit but I thought I would at least fire up the computer and see what I can share h my loyal followers. Since I didn’t get to take any photos at all last week…
Phoney photos
I am not usually a fan of phone photography. Personally I use mine more as a notepad device than an artistic instrument – taking photos of items that I may need for reference at a later time. However I do take a lot of documentation photos for my job during my typical workday and on occasion I grab a shot of…
Avenues
I don’t have much to say for today’s post, so I’ll try to keep it short. It was a beautiful weekend, if a little on the cool side, but I didn’t do too much shooting. Instead the focus was on domestic things and actually going out and watching a live band for a change. It was nice. Plus I have…
Nice and wild
Couldn’t decide if I wanted to post a nice pretty picture or a wild crazy picture – so I’ll just do both! Lets start with the pretty picture. This is another one done with a teal split-tone B&W process. A little different from straight black and white. I like it and thinks it works great on flower pictures And,…
Rustling up some photos
From the city shot of my last post to more rural things. I see lots of cattle almost every day during my work travels. An almost constant subject on my blog and I’m afraid I have to go there again! 🙂 Trying to get unique and interesting photos of cattle that aren’t mine, during the heat of the day is always…
It is what it is
I was going to post another toned black and white flower image but instead I’ll break things up with…..a broken up image! Playing with mirrors in downtown Pittsburgh. Somewhere there is a dinosaur involved! I was told by security that I can’t photograph towards the building shortly after taking this. Ah, modern life! 😦
Teal-riffic
I made my annual visit to shoot some water lilies at the pond outside of Phipps Conservatory, since they look their best this time of year. Although I try to challenge myself to be more creative each time, I am usually quite happy with the straightforward color shots. The flowers are pretty and colorful and the lily pads and reflections always…
Back away from the slider
If there is one thing that I struggle with when processing photos, it’s the contrast levels. I almost always add some contrast to most of my photo. Processing from RAW files that is almost inevitable, but where to stop is the hard part. Contrast is subjective and what looks good during processing may not translate well later. My monitor screen…
