Regulars viewers know that it’s rare for me to show people pictures. I don’t have anything against them, I just don’t normally try to take any. And when I do, I don’t think I bring anything new to the table, creatively. I’ll leave that to others. But today was the first day of the Three Rivers Arts Festival in downtown…

365-153 Another last minute shot
It’s been a really long and trying day. I was dealing with employment issues which I’ll discuss later. I didn’t get around to even thinking about a picture until near sundown. I happened to be near a park and pulled in just as the sun was filtering through the trees in the woods. I only had my DA55-300 and no tripod, so…
365-152 When all else fails…
…go for color. I was on the southside of Pittsburgh this afternoon and even though there is plenty of old architecture around I just wasn’t seeing anything. The bright sunlight was too harsh and when I looked in the shady areas everything looked kind of….well…neat and clean. Nice, but not good for photos! So when I saw this brightly painted and weathered…

A few details from down by the tracks in Arden. All with Pentax K20D and DA17-70 or Super-Takumar 50mm. X Factor
365-150 Total originality
Lets see..Memorial Day holiday…American flag…may as well go with the standard title too. Well at least I found an old flag, this one flying in front of some type of arts and craft store that was closed. I shot it backlit by the sun somewhat using my Super-Takumar 50mm at f/2.8. I used the Tak thinking I could blur out…
365-149 It’s a holiday weekend…
….in the USA, at least. So I figured I wouldn’t get many views today. That’s fine because I had a lot to do today and none of it had anything to do with photography. By the time I was done it was near dark and I thought I would try to find something to shoot for my 365. Armed with my newly…
365-148 Speaking of crows
I took a very nice picture of my neighbors roses today. My thought was to use it for my 365 shot. That was until I parked my truck in a shopping center parking lot next to someones half eaten burrito. There were some small birds munching on a tortilla chip, which was amusing enough, but they soon got chased away…
365-147 Scary scarecrows
Well since few people seemed interested in my cat pictures 😉 yesterday , I’ll try something a little more funky today. In the midst of an affluent suburban area and across the street from a major shopping mall is a farm. I’ve taken a few pictures there before over the winter. The scarecrows were a bride and groom but driving by today I…
365-146 Stray cat strut
Besides a cool song that I like to play on guitar, it’s also what I discovered today. My wife and I were driving by the county fairgrounds when she asked if I ever looked around them for any pictures. I thought about it in the past but never drove onto the grounds. There is, of course, no fair going on right…
365-145 From color to not
It’s late, so not much to say today. I took a quick spin a little outside of town to a small village that has some older homes and historic buildings. Mostly just a few antique and gift shops. Arches © David Guidas
