365-164 Plastic coated weirdness

I noticed this dummy on a sign for a closed shopping center today. I drive past that way quite a lot and never noticed it before so someone placed it there recently. The dummy had a sign of some sort but it was folded over and I couldn’t see what it said. I like to think it’s a type of…

365-163 Stumbling along

Not much to add today. I was in Pittsburgh and intended to stop at the arts festival but didn’t quite get there. I drove around a few different areas that I don’t normally explore and discovered some type of church festival going on.  It wasn’t too exciting and most of the pictures I took are rather ordinary snapshotty photos. I…

365-162 A little window shopping

There is a town near where I live that has a number of small antique shops. They are fun to browse through once in a while since they not only have actual antiques, they also sell what I would classify as memorabilia. Those kitschy relics from the 50’s and 60’s. Neat junk basically. The stores were all closed when I drove by today…

365-161 A little rurality

My original plans were to go to the arts festival again in Pittsburgh today. I thought it was a nice day and I always like to shoot in the city. But those plans got thwarted because some business I was trying to take care of ended taking too much time. So, later in the day I remembered a park that’s…

365-160 Bugged about photos

I have been having a few days now where I’m not too inspired photographically. I have those every once in a while and I’m not too concerned, yet. I think it just makes it boring for my viewers here. I apologize for that. I have some “life” issues that I’m taking care of right now and the photography is kind…

365-159 Little pink houses

Well I don’t really think this was an actual house at any time. I think it was more of a roadside business of some type. I can’t really remember what it was but it’s on a the side of a busy road south of Pittsburgh. I pass by it quite often and thought about photographing it some day but I…

365-158 No deep insights

Not much to add today. I basically stayed around the house. I saw some rose petals had fallen from my neighbors rose bush and went over to take a look. I saw the petals in this plant with really cool curvy leaves and I liked the contrast in color. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Ravage

365-157 Wally world

Running late again. I’ve seen these skylights on the Wal-Mart roof plenty of times at night and always thought that there may be a shot there. I like repeating patterns. What I didn’t notice before was all of the distractions (wires, vents, lights, HVAC, etc.). So it was tough to get even a little bit of a pattern from my vantage point.…

365-156 Just playin’ around

I saw this cherub figurine in a gift shop window and snapped a shot. I only took the one shot and didn’t think much of it when I did. The straight shot was decent enough but I thought I would throw a little processing fun in the works for a change. In Photoshop, I Did a Topaz Adjust layer and…

365-155 Roadside blunder

It was getting dark and I haven’t taken a single photo for the day yet. Not feeling like traveling too far from where I was I thought I would try some long exposure shots of highway traffic. I know, real original eh?  I thought I would be able to get a clear shot from the edge of a nearby supermarket parking…
