Filtered flowers

Well, after yesterdays protest blackout, I thought it would be nice to return with some flowers. But because this is winter and there isn’t a flower in site, I had to look in my files for some photos I took in the past. I had spent a day last spring in a nearby park and took what seemed like a gazillion flower photos.…

Working photos – not art

I’m back, but not with any of my normal artsy photos because I’m continuing my house rehab. I finally started the nitty-gritty part of my room remodeling. The ugly part that’s no fun to do. Fixing cracks in the plaster, patching holes, changing electric, preparing for paint, etc.. I didn’t get any work done today because I had to take…

Like snow, man

It finally snowed! Considering this is winter, I’m considering that as a good thing. I know a lot of people like mild temperatures and no snow in the winter but I think things are just too ugly this time of year without snow. Mild temperatures just mean it’s going to rain all of the time and I’d rather have snow than…

A few that didn’t make the cut. Vol.2

Good thing I’m enjoying a few days off from taking photos because it’s not a very pleasant time of year around here for photography. In the mean time I’m posting a few photos from the past year that didn’t make it into my blog. Just like the photos in Volume 1, some are good, some are just OK, some I’ve posted on Flickr at…

365-365 See you in 2012

I’ll start off with the photo today. I thought a festive shot would be a fun way to wrap up my 365 project. I know a lot of people like to show all of their prints sprawled out on the floor and spelling out 365 or they do a montage of the years pics, but I thought what’s more fun then a cake? And…

365-363 Default mode

I woke up feeling incredibly sick today. Headache, stomach ache, stiff, sore, and lacking energy – the whole works. To top it off, I had to work today, covering a project for a co-worker. It didn’t make for a pleasant day, just pressing the shutter button on my camera was a chore. It’s too bad because I was in an…

Some Autumn Love

Once that initial blast of autumn color is over, it seems people forget about the nature part of fall. The rest of the season means football and the upcoming holidays. So I just wanted to show some love for the second month of autumn. These were all taken in a patch of woods with late afternoon sun backlighting the leaves. The photos are…

A different look

I’m sure you’ve noticed the different look. I wanted to find a way to better showcase the photos and I have to thank Nathan Stitt for tipping me off to the theme. I threw a random header photo up because I think the duck has seen enough action. If any readers have an idea of an appropriate header photo, please…

365-196 Why I am not a landscape photographer

I didn’t get around to taking any photos until late tonight because I didn’t have a camera with me while I was out earlier. Since it was near dark when I went to get a shot I thought an evening sky reflecting in the lake would be nice for a change. There were enough clouds in the sky to make it…

365-165 A new place and some processing fun

I discovered a nice park and lake not too far from my home. It’s kind of hidden behind some affluent suburban neighborhoods. It’s a decent size lake surrounded by wooded areas with nice paths. A lot nicer than my city park. I’ll have to go back and visit soon. The woods are really nice with mature trees and lots of…
