Wasn’t feeling too creative this year, so……

…I am happy to report that my image “Tanked” was selected as a Peoples Choice winner in the Pattern/Texture category in the Black & White magazine contest issue #113, available now at finer newsstands everywhere.   Considering I really didn’t feel like like I had anything worth submitting this year that came as a big surprise. BUT, an even better surprise……

Buildings, new and old

I haven’t posted in quite a while so I thought I would show a couple of recently shot building photos. The first is a newly constructed office building in a suburban office park. The late afternoon clouds looked so good I couldn’t resist. The empty parking lot helped to balance out with the sky. Color was the word here. The other…

The brown period

I’ve been dazzling you with great autumn color the past few posts and now, unfortunately (for some, I imagine). it’s time to tone it down a bit. We are now entering the “brown period” of autumn, where all of the fallen leaves lose all of their color, the soil is almost always muddy, and the only color is the blue…

Let’s keep it rolling!

It wasn’t planned at all but I was able to get a few more autumn photos shot at the last minute, literally. It was a rainy day yesterday when I took these photos and the colors just seemed to pop as I drove through the rural countryside. But the heavy rain continued throughout the night and today was a whole…

Hey, why not? Another blast of autumn.

Can you really get tired of autumn foliage photos? I think not! Most of this batch was shot in a local semi-hidden park.  It’s one of the few places in the immediate area where there is a water feature to catch reflections. It’s best to visit it early in the morning on weekdays but I stopped by on a late…

Difficult to be different. The color parade continues.

Continuing on with some autumn themed photos. I shot these earlier today in the local park. It was a last minute excursion and I didn’t expect much as the local park is far from being picturesque. My plan was to just focus on details, if I found any, but, as usual, I don’t even remember my plans when I start…

Some things I think I saw

I often come across scenes or subjects and think, “yeah, that’s something”. Sometimes they work, sometimes not. The main thing is, I think they are something when in most cases they are far from something. There’s that little voice that tells me to shoot first and ask questions later. Sometimes it is later when I realize why I thought there…

An all-reclusive vacation, Part 1

Yes, you read that right, an all-reclusive vacation. Considering I have been sick the last four days my vacation week turned out to be a dud. Oh well, there’s really not much I can do about that, I guess. I’ll just have to move on and go about my daily duties on Monday and try not to look back too much.…

Scenes from a vantage point

First of all, my anti-virus software tried to stop me from entering my own site. It said it had reported malicious content! That’s something I need to look into. Has anyone had a problem when coming here? These are a few scenes from a vantage point along the river across from Pittsburgh. I saw some great light the other evening and wanted…
