Well, all of my daily posts are shots of things I’ve seen that day. So I guess today isn’t any different. I live in such a dynamic, colorful area that it’s easy to take wonderful photos. Okay, that was a joke. It’s actually difficult to take photos around here that are somewhat interesting to view. That’s why I try to…

365-134 The street artist
This storefront used to be a radio and electronics store. I remember buying tubes for my guitar amplifier there back in the early eighties. Had I known better at the time I would have bought out his whole inventory of tubes because NOS (New Old Stock) USA made tubes go for a hefty sum today because of availability and the TONE that…
365-133 When it rains, it rains
I really can’t think of a wetter spring in recent years. Almost every day, it seems, it’s raining or storming. The days in between are pretty decent though, so I can’t complain much. Besides running some errands, I basically stuck around the house today. I took the photo of the robin on my neighbors fence just to get my 365…
365-132 Move along, nothing to see here.
Surprise, the rain is back. Looks like another seven-day stretch. Had a nice hailstorm this afternoon and I took a shot of my windshield:-(. I know, I know – it’s lame, but it’s all I have right now. I also drove through the park and although there wasn’t much to shoot I took a few shots into the woods. I liked the…
365-131 Aspirations of the uninspired
My images have been a bit uninspiring lately. I don’t know what it is. Maybe the change in weather, maybe I’ve exhausted all of the possibilities in my immediate surroundings. Probably more than anything, a change in environment would help me artistically and even more, mentally. Since being layed off, I’ve been around home more than I have ever been…
365-130 Study in color
As opposed to yesterdays title, todays photo is about color. More pink than any other color but colorful nonetheless. These photos were taken in front of a Michaels arts and crafts store. I needed to buy something crafty today and I saw these colorful items on the sidewalk display and grabbed a few shots. I don’t do much crafty things…
365-129 Study in black and white
Well, the cows are black and white! Took a quick drive through the rural parts of town. The late afternoon sunlight was beautiful and enhanced just about everything. I got a few pictures of the cows before the sun hid behind the hills. Both shots are simple portraits so I don’t have much to add technically. Pentax K20D, DA55-300. Rural…
365-128 Hmm, I can’t think of a catchy title
Nor can I really think of much to say today. One of those kind of days, I guess. Todays shot was taken at a loading dock in the rear of a grocery store. I was driving by and the bright color of the pallets against the black caught my eye. A simple, straightforward composition. I didn’t want to push my access…
365-127 Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door
Well I didn’t see any giants doing cartwheels or statues wearing high heels but I did turn to see the outdoor color reflecting in the glass of my kitchen door. I wanted the color to be subtle and of course no reflected detail so I focused on the string and let everything else blur. Blind
325-126 All about texture
I’m kind of running out of time tonight so I’ll keep the text short. I did my usual ride around town again and although not looking for anything in particular, I found textures more than anything. My 365 shot is just an odd sight on the side of an old building downtown. What the purpose is I have no idea but…
