All of these photos were taken during a walk around a single block in a neighboring town. I first spotted the boat and parked to take a picture. Afterwards, looking at the old buildings, I thought I would look around for further subject matter. Who knew I would find a gorilla? All Pentax K20D, DA17-70. Click on pics for larger…

365-238 (the actual one)
I see I misnumbered yesterdays post. It has been corrected for those that are keeping score or at least counting down until I stop this madness. For photo 238 I took a spin through the county fairgrounds to see what was going on. I missed the actual county fair last week because of scheduling and assorted other goings on. Thinking I would…
365-237 Love them doors
There is something about the brass doors on old city buildings that I like. The patina and warmth of the brass, especially when reflecting the late afternoon light. This door is on a downtown bank. It’s a revolving door on the Trust Building which is one of the older buildings in town. When I stopped at a stoplight and saw the low…
365-236 Accidental theme
I know I spoke of wanting to do a set of photos with a theme but that’s not what I planned for today. I didn’t get out until late to take any photos but it was still sunny and clear and I really didn’t feel like taking any normal photos. So I thought I would go to a nearby park with…
365-235 Two of each
Another day of watching my truck repair bill climb. Sigh. So with everything so crazy you just have to laugh and relax. That calls for lunch with my wife on the southside of Pittsburgh. After lunch on such a fine day, we enjoyed a little stroll and, of course, I took a few pictures. I have a couple of color…
365-234 Shoot something
I am glad I took this shot today. Like oftentimes, I take a photo just to experiment or see if it works for something with the intentions of shooting something else later. Just like those other times, later never comes. I had plans to go check out some sights after work but I call that my truck was done getting…
365-233 Been there, done that
I revisited Oglebay Park today to shoot a little color for a change. I was there last spring for a previous 365 shot (365-110 ). While I was there today I shot some flowers, a few butterflies, and the grounds. All things I have done in past posts. The problem with the park is that it is so nice and clean I can’t…
365-232 I swear it’s unintentional
The past few days I have been posting warm toned images. The textured shots were very brownish, yesterdays bicycles were copper toned and today I have an ambrotype toned image. I never really planned any of those ahead of time, it just happened. Todays 365 blimp shot just cried out for an old-time look. The lantern photo just looked good in sepia. The…
365-231 Wheels
I often take photos of old cars because, well, I like them. Not nicely restored cars at a show but old, aged, weathered cars. There is something about the lines of old automobiles that I find interesting mixed with the patina of years of neglect. But I came across an even earlier form of transportation today for my 365 photo.…
365-230 Relax
After my vehicle fiasco yesterday and finding out what the monetary damage ($!!!) is today, I thought it best to take things in stride. After securing a rental vehicle and taking care of business with my employer, it was nice to visit a small park and enjoy the nature a little. A nice calming effect. With todays 365 photo I went…
