Todays photos were taken across the street from each other in, shall we say, a rougher area of town. As much as I like being in nice environments, I do tend to veer towards some seedier sections of cities for my photography. I just find more interesting subjects there. The “unstructured” lifestyle in those areas leads to sometimes odd or strange…

365-337 Over Under Sideways Down
A little nod to the Yardbirds. Back to nature today. I took a slew of unrelated photos today, all before 9:00 a.m.. Starting with a near dark abstract in my driveway and finishing up with some frosted plants near work (we had to wait for the frost to melt before anybody could work). But it was this milkweed plant that I experimented on by…
365-336 My world and my ashtray
In case you haven’t noticed I’ve been stuck on a work project that has been keeping me in basically one spot from dark to dark the past few days. I apologize for the abundance of job site photos but I have to work with what I got. And that isn’t much. Mud doesn’t make for nice photos. 😉 As for…
365-335 Cool on the hill
Ah, December. The last month of my 365! If there is one thing I learned during this project, it’s knowing that there is always a picture out there. I go out most days not knowing what I’ll shoot or where, yet at the end of the day I have a photo. Sometimes more than one. They may not all be award…
365-334 Wired
Just one of those days. I was working all day, stuck high on a hill with blowing snow and exceptionally cold wind. And mud, lots of mud. It wasn’t pleasant. So when I had time to take a photo I didn’t feel like venturing out too far. And there’s nothing better on a day like this then to take a photo…
365-333 Just a quick one today
Detail of an old abandoned house…hmm, that seems like a familiar subject. OK, I won’t win any awards for breaking out of my comfort zone today. 😉 But I did like the colors presented here and besides I didn’t feel like running around too much today, I had to fix my furnace. But it’s good now, I’m warm, and this…
365-332 Some time in the digital darkroom
As my 365 project is winding down I find that I’m wanting to experiment more with image processing. I mean, it is digital, I’m not trying to fool anybody that I’m out there shooting Velvia. With the exception of my textured images, most photos I try to process rather straightforward. Occasionally I’ll veer off the chart when I want a…
365-331 It’s just a door
Yet I had a tough time deciding between the two pictures of it for my 365 shot. On one side I like the close-up detail of the handle and lock, although I’ve done plenty of those kind of detail shots before. And on the other hand I like the interior lights of the other shot. To me it has better…
365-330 A few from around town
Had some time to take a few quick shots around town today. I processed these with a warm vintage color look mostly because it seemed to work with the first shot, so I kept with the consistency for the rest. During processing, I went back and forth between color and black and white for these and I still think the B&W is stronger for a few of them. But…
365-329 How much is that zebra?
When I see a zebra in the window of an urban store, I’m thinking “hmm, there’s a picture.” Unfortunately when a zebra is in the window, it probably isn’t alive. It wasn’t. The store ended up being a soon to be opened taxidermy shop. Lots of cool animals “hanging around” but the reflections and glare on the windows made it…
