365-169 Easy things in black and white

I was driving on a downtown road today that I regularly travel, kind of thinking of a photo subject for the day. As I was approaching a stoplight I glanced over to an old auto repair garage and saw these lightbulbs in the window next to the sidewalk. I thought they made a nice group and contrasted well with the…

365-168 Reflections

Visited my old standby, the cemetery, today to see if there was any action at the duck pond. There were no ducks to speak of but  quite a few big geese waddling around everywhere. Enough geese where I had to watch where I was walking 😉 . I decided to explore around the pond anyhow and look for some other subjects.…

365-166 Spotting trains again

After realizing that I have shot photos in about every place in town since starting my 365, I thought I would revisit some sites that I felt still had some shots left. Since I think I milked the cemetery for all that is was worth, I tried some old boxcars that I shot before. I remembered some details and abstracts…

365-164 Plastic coated weirdness

I noticed this dummy on a sign for a closed shopping center today. I drive past that way quite a lot and never noticed it before so someone placed it there recently. The dummy had a sign of some sort but it was folded over and I couldn’t see what it said. I like to think it’s a type of…

365-162 A little window shopping

There is a town near where I live that has a number of small antique shops. They are fun to browse through once in a while since they not only have actual antiques, they also sell what I would classify as memorabilia. Those kitschy relics from the 50’s and 60’s. Neat junk basically. The stores were all closed when I drove by today…

365-157 Wally world

Running late again. I’ve seen these skylights on the Wal-Mart roof plenty of times at night and always thought that there may be a shot there. I like repeating patterns. What I didn’t notice before was all of the distractions (wires, vents, lights, HVAC, etc.). So it was tough to get even a little bit of a pattern from my vantage point.…

365-153 Another last minute shot

It’s been a really long and trying day. I was dealing with employment issues which I’ll discuss later. I didn’t get around to even thinking about a picture until near sundown. I happened to be near a park and pulled in just as the sun was filtering through the trees in the woods. I only had my DA55-300 and no tripod, so…

365-151 Train Train

A few details from down by the tracks in Arden. All with Pentax K20D  and DA17-70 or Super-Takumar 50mm. X Factor            

365-144 And some extras from yesterday

First my 365 shot. I didn’t have my shot in until late today. I stopped in a Guitar Center store to check out some gear this evening while my wife went to another store.  Not so much shopping,  just seeing what was out there. The visit just reconfirmed what I already knew – my guitars are pretty nice and I haven’t…
