I have been so bored with my photo output lately. Maybe its just been the subjects, or lack thereof. And again today I found myself out on a beautiful day and just not finding any suitable subjects. So on a drive through the park and looking at all of the trees I decided I would try some intentional camera movement (ICM).…

365-185 Hmmm, what can I shoot today?
The 4th of July in the USA. Besides hotdogs the usual subject to photograph is fireworks. This is the first time I ever bothered to shoot fireworks in about twenty years. the last fireworks photos I took were on Kodachrome 64 at the city of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh still puts on an impressive display but I stuck around the small town…
365-184 Three Rivers Regatta
Pittsburgh has an annual regatta around the 4th of July holiday. There are various events each year varying between high wire acts to hot air balloons. Every year they have powerboat races on the rivers. I haven’t visited the regatta in quite a few years since I was usually working and couldn’t go if I wanted. This year I am not…
365-182 Must stay strong
I am about at the halfway point on my 365 project and I have to admit it’s getting a bit tedious at times. I seriously believe that I’m running out of subjects locally. I can’t really afford to travel much so getting away for new sites is kind of out of the question. There is nothing I would like better than to…
365-181 Hip to be square
A rare square crop from me today. I saw this shiny truck near a gas station I was at and thought it would make a good 365 subject. I went with the square crop because it was parked next to a wall and there was nothing but pavement on the other side. In other words, nothing that was significant for the…
365-180 Forget all your cares and go
Downtown. Explored around the downtown area today. Well, OK, downtown doesn’t cover that much of an area. I probably have covered the area pretty well over the last few months but I think there is always a shot somewhere. I was able to park my vehicle and look around the old parking garage that is soon to be demolished or sold…
365-179 I can see clearly
I still feel bad about yesterdays photo. I was in a bad place (mentally) when I shot it and looking back it looks like an awful cellphone photo that folks take on Flickr. I should have attempted something more creative. The thing is, I even saw some potential cool shots while I was at the restaurant but I didn’t take…
365-178 Happy happy joy joy
That’s the way I have to feel after getting my second job rejection within the week. Both interviews, I thought, went well and I would have been a good fit in either position even though they were both different types of jobs. Trying to find a job in another line of work is proving to be difficult. Edited to remove…
365-176 The flowers lost out.
Unlike the other day when a shot of a flower beat out what was to be my 365 shot (365-172), today was just the opposite. I saw these nice flowers near the iron fence at the Bradford House yesterday and thought that they looked nice. I took a photo of them today figuring I would use it for my 365.…
365-174 Action / no action
My 365 shot is of action. Well, as much action as I usually shoot. I spotted these men working on the billboards near the highway while sitting at a traffic light. The sky behind them was fairly dark and dramatic from passing storms but I had to go around the block to get a good shot due to foreground clutter. When…
