Photo-op spotting

I am one of those folks who try to have a camera with them at all times. I don’t mean I carry one into the grocery store but I generally throw one into the car when I’m heading out, you know, just in case. I’m always looking for photo-ops. This particular photo I spotted while driving in the city. My…

Cubism

In my last post that I titled a whirlwind of activity I found that I failed to mention any activity. Since the post before that one, my old computer died and I had to get a new one and start all over with installing programs, getting used to Windows 10, reinstalling programs, getting aggravated with windows 10, finding workarounds to…

A whirlwind of activity

I know it’s been over a month since my last post and honestly I never realized how fast time was flying by. I surprised I still have a few visitors every day because it would appear that I abandoned this site. But I’m still here! Well, for the time being at least. I have an idea for another site more…

Cracks in the works

I ran across this tree-like crack in the ice of a very small pond and was drawn to how it was emanating from the small rock at the edge. I think I shot about a dozen different perspectives, some with the rock more prominent, but in the end I liked this “shot from above” look the best. Processing was another story. I spent…

Keeping it straight

A break from the wide angle scenes. I spotted this parking garage in the making while scouting out the location of where my employers new office is going to be. It was a Sunday so there wasn’t much construction activity and I liked the bare concrete of the garage. I would liked to have gotten closer and explored the lines…

Enough with the negativity

I know I am probably too hard on myself, not only with my photography, but in almost everything I do. I am, as they say, my own worst critic. I don’t think I am too negative though, I do believe I do a number of things quite well, it’s just that I think I don’t do them well enough. Enough…

Just a photo this evening

I’m tapped out on verbiage at the moment. I’ll catch up tomorrow. For now, enjoy an architecture shot taken in Charlottte, NC.    

City Lines

It’s been a while since I walked around the city just for the purpose of photography. Being a holiday weekend I had some free time and wanted to at least try to do some shooting in downtown Pittsburgh. I figured late Sunday afternoon wouldn’t be too busy but a Pirates baseball game just let out as my wife and I…

Over the couch

For some reason, this image reminds me of an abstract painting that someone from my past had hanging over the couch. I know it wasn’t a painting of glasses but there is something about the colors and shapes that strikes a chord. May be it was a friend or a friends parents or someone in my family, or maybe just…

Gold in them hills

My photo, “Can’t Wait” was chosen as a Gold Selection winner for the North Valley Art League International Juried Photography Show, which opens Tuesday, April 29, 2014. It is an honor to be chosen but the hard part is still ahead of me – writing an Artist Statement! I’ll try to do my best with that but, as anyone who has spent…
