One of those days again where I didn’t get out until late. The town is looking uninspiring lately and the lighting was drab anyhow so I cruised through the cemetery again to find some textures and details. I’ll add some more tomorrow when I have more time. Adios. Waves

365-123 Take green, add water
Surprise! It’s pouring down rain again today! Absolutely lovely! The bright side is, I guess, that it’s not snow. So I thought I may as well take advantage of the rain and use it creatively. After running some errands, my wife and I stopped for a drive-through dinner and parked my truck under a tree at the corner of the parking lot.…
365-122 Shopping for photos
My budget may be busted right now but I still like to get out and shop once in a while. Shopping for me usually consists of looking but not really buying. I like to research items I may be interested in the future or that I am simply curious about. For instance, I looked in the Apple store to see what my WordPress…
365-120 Met the quota
I can’t really say that I couldn’t find much to shoot today because I did. I shot this fence picture earlier in the day just to get something “in the can”. Good thing I did because it was pretty bleak afterwards. I wanted to find some textural or abstract shots but couldn’t find anything until the light got too low. I…
365-119 Not a better photographer
I’m feeling better today but that doesn’t mean the photographer is any better ;-). This was shot in my usual “sitting at a redlight and looking out of my window” style. I should be able to plan a day soon when I can just go out and focus on the photography. Perhaps a day trip to Pittsburgh for some city shots.…
365-118 Probably the last of the blossoms
Today was a trying and emotional day and I’m still feeling a little down. I don’t like to talk about my personal life much online but I’m going into the fifth month of being layed off from my job. This is after being layed off last year for 5 months and only 7 months work in between. The financial toll on my…
365-117 Here’s a quarter
I don’t really notice payphones much anymore. Most likely there are fewer of them around, and I do sometimes notice where some used to be. It usually looks like someone just ripped the phone away from its mounting and that’s the way it stayed – wires dangling and only a shadow of the phone remaining. I was at a gas…
365-116 Monet, Monet
Rainstorms. A common occurrence of late. And again today I found myself waiting out a downpour while sitting in my car. Fortunately, I was parked next to a forsythia shrub and I noticed the yellow flowers and bright green leaves. Shooting through my rain drenched windows, I shot a few photos trying for an abstract or impressionistic look. Some shots had…
365-115 A new look
If you’re a regular visitor then you probably noticed the new look to my blog. The last theme was functional but the frilly design kind of bugged me. I went back to a simple straightforward more serious look. In the next few days I may change a few things around but I think I’ll stay with this layout since I do want…
365-114 Burning creativity
Well, I don’t know how creative it is but I thought I would try some candle macros. We had these candles on the table during Easter dinner and, of course, I thought, “hmm, there’s a good photo possibility”. I shot with my reverse-mounted Super-Takumar 28mm and 50mm lenses and actually used a tripod 😉 because I wanted slow exposures to…
