There is something about the brass doors on old city buildings that I like. The patina and warmth of the brass, especially when reflecting the late afternoon light. This door is on a downtown bank. It’s a revolving door on the Trust Building which is one of the older buildings in town. When I stopped at a stoplight and saw the low…

365-236 Accidental theme
I know I spoke of wanting to do a set of photos with a theme but that’s not what I planned for today. I didn’t get out until late to take any photos but it was still sunny and clear and I really didn’t feel like taking any normal photos. So I thought I would go to a nearby park with…
365-233 Been there, done that
I revisited Oglebay Park today to shoot a little color for a change. I was there last spring for a previous 365 shot (365-110 ). While I was there today I shot some flowers, a few butterflies, and the grounds. All things I have done in past posts. The problem with the park is that it is so nice and clean I can’t…
365-221 Decisions, decisions
I went back and forth on two totally different photos to use for my 365 today I’ll post both photos here and let you decide if I made the right choice. In the end, the warm color of the rusty metal won out. Though I do like the graphic simplicity of the window shot and I went back and forth between…
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…
365-212 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! Pentax K20D, DA 55-300.…
365-206 Stranger in a strange land
So I am working out of town for a few more days and I’m having a tough time with my photography. I don’t know what it is but I’m not really happy with the direction it has been going the last few days (weeks?). I thought it would help being in a different city but so far it has been a…
365-204 A humanoid day
So I was driving through town and spotted yet another protest dummy sitting on a wall. This time at the local newspaper office. I shot a portion of a dummy before (365-164) at another location but I couldn’t figure out what the purpose was. Well today I discovered, from what I read on the dummy, it is an anti smoking demonstration.…
365-187 I promise not to overdo it
Still experimenting with intentional camera movement (ICM). I know it’s the second day in a row using this technique but it is helping my creativity some. This evening I focused on my neighbors flowers. I was going to try a shot at the ostrich farm but just couldn’t get myself to hop in the truck and drive over. Besides I was…
