365-136 No complaints

I think I complain too much on here so today I’ll go easy on the readers. Well, I’ll try at least. My first shot is simply three windows on the upper floor of a downtown building. The color of the building is pretty cool and stands out among the drab beige tones of all of the other nearby buildings. Don’t let the color…

365-131 Aspirations of the uninspired

My images have been a bit uninspiring lately. I don’t know what it is. Maybe the change in weather, maybe I’ve exhausted all of the possibilities in my immediate surroundings.  Probably more than anything, a change in environment would help me artistically and even more, mentally. Since being layed off, I’ve been around home more than I have ever been…

365-130 Study in color

As opposed to yesterdays title, todays photo is about color. More pink than any other color but colorful nonetheless. These photos were taken in front of a Michaels arts and crafts store. I needed to buy something crafty today and I saw these colorful items on the sidewalk display and grabbed a few shots.  I don’t do much crafty things…

365-128 Hmm, I can’t think of a catchy title

Nor can I really think of much to say today. One of those kind of days, I guess. Todays shot was taken at a loading dock in the rear of a grocery store. I was driving by and the bright color of the pallets against the black caught my eye. A simple, straightforward composition.  I didn’t want to push my access…

365-127 Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door

Well I didn’t see any giants doing cartwheels or statues wearing high heels but I did turn to see the outdoor color reflecting in the glass of my kitchen door.  I wanted the color to be subtle and of course no reflected detail so I focused on the string and let everything else blur. Blind

365-125 Times toll

I finally got around to shooting that machinery I mentioned a couple of days ago. I tried twice before to shoot an abstract but the light level was just too low to work with. Today was certainly brighter and nicer than it has been of late. The machinery is in a shady area so I still was on the edge of being able to…

365-124 Cemetery Part 1

One of those days again where I didn’t get out until late. The town is looking uninspiring lately and the lighting was drab anyhow so I cruised through the cemetery again to find some textures and details. I’ll add some more tomorrow when I have more time. Adios. Waves        

365-123 Take green, add water

Surprise! It’s pouring down rain again today! Absolutely lovely! The bright side is, I guess, that it’s not snow. So I thought I may as well take advantage of the rain and use it creatively. After running some errands, my wife and I stopped for a drive-through dinner and parked my truck under a tree at the corner of the parking lot.…

365-122 Shopping for photos

My budget may be busted right now but I still like to get out and shop once in a while. Shopping for me usually consists of looking but not really buying. I like to research items I may be interested in the future or that I am simply curious about. For instance, I looked in the Apple store to see what my WordPress…

365-119 Not a better photographer

I’m feeling better today but that doesn’t mean the photographer is any better ;-).  This was shot in my usual “sitting at a redlight and looking out of my window” style. I should be able to plan a day soon when I can just go out and focus on the photography. Perhaps a day trip to Pittsburgh for some city shots.…
