It’s been a really long day! Up way too early, put some miles on the road, even more hours on the job, then tried to do some photography along with a little exploring of my environment. Throw in some software issues and working on the laptop again and I’m surprised I even managed to get a photo done. I’m going to…

365-219 The benefits of digital
Besides the fact that you can choose between black and white or color whenever you want or that you can shoot a wide variety of ISO’s to fit the situation, you can also go wild in processing a photo, if you choose. I probably wouldn’t normally choose to do such image manipulation but when your back is against the wall…
365-218 Stylin’
Ah, the landau top. A wonderful exercise in automotive design. Throw it on a big, wide Buick and you’ll be the talk of the town. I remember doing some car detailing when I was younger and almost all of the cars had vinyl tops. Reconditioning a vinyl top really wasn’t any fun but when the owner saw the gleaming white…
365-217 Some color for a change
I haven’t really done any bold color abstracts in a while so, although this wasn’t the photo I planned on using, it won out. I was in a landfill again (yet another one) and this is leachate stained plastic liner. In real life it’s just a typical sight you see on a landfill but I just seemed to notice another dimension in…
365-216 Ramblin’
I have been bouncing around on different project sites for my work lately. It has been making my photography a little difficult because I’ve been spending almost the whole day on job sites and I don’t get to explore the areas too much. The good thing is I have still been on the lookout for potential subjects for when I…
365-215 Puzzling
I’m still spending the bulk of my day in a very un-photogenic place so I’m having a difficult time being creative with my shots. I’ll find a way to work around it soon but having the constraints forces me to look at things differently and try to pull a photo out. Not always successful. Not always interesting. Always a learning…
365-214 If I’m doing grass…
…it’s because either I couldn’t find anything to shoot at all or it was a long, busy day and I really didn’t have the energy to try to find a better shot. Today was more of the latter. I shot the grasses towards the end of the day, just fooling around basically, and thought I would go out after I…
365-213 The other side of the landfill
As a response to my earlier landfill nature post (365-207), I thought I would show some slightly different landfill photos. I’m on a different site than the one from last week that’s not as “woodsy” as that one. There may be some nature around but I didn’t get a chance to explore the site much. Sorry about my 365 shot being…
365-212 Primary colors
With all of the running I’ve been doing this week it finally caught up to me. A little tired today, so, with the exception of doing a few errands for the coming week, I really didn’t feel like doing much today. The lawn is ugly because of all of the hot weather but I think it can survive another week…
365-211 Tal Farlow was a sign painter
Besides being an accomplished jazz guitarist, Tal Farlow retired to New Jersey to be a sign painter in the late 1950’s. He was as good a painter as he was a guitarist and can be seen in action doing both in the excellent documentary, “Talmage Farlow“. I am sure he was better at spelling than whoever painted this sign!
