I hope all of my USA readers enjoyed a nice Independence Day holiday. It was a purposely relaxing day for me, something I need to do once in a while. Since color is in abundance on a summer holiday, todays photo is about color and in somewhat of a 4th of July vein. A nearby town has an annual Fourth…

Another from the rails
Here’s another shot from my visit to the train tracks. It’s just another rusty detail shot. This is the sliding mechanism on the boxcar doors. I shot a closer detail with the Leica 25mm but his one was shot with the Lumix G 14mm lens, which does quite well in its own right considering how little I paid for it and…
Down on the tracks
In my continuing gear test, I thought I would revisit the train tracks not too far from where I live. I know that there is a ton of detail on the old box cars that sit idle on the tracks. Things don’t change much there and I shot the same cars last year for a couple of posts, but I can always…
Just posting Vol. 1
I honestly haven’t been spending much time shooting lately and I feel a little bad about it. I’ve been focusing on my house and assorted other life things so I haven’t really had the time to just go out and take photos. Oh I take my camera with me as much as possible because, you know, “just in case” but as…
A bucket of…
…bolts. I seriously think I am running out of ideas and things to photograph. Which must mean I am on the verge of something great, since in the past when I felt that way I ended up taking some good photos afterwards. I really hope so. In the mean time you can enjoy this fine array of cold hard steel…
Buildings and angles in black and white
While walking around in Wheeling, West Virginia the other day, I snapped a number of photos of the local architecture. Most of my shots were from ground level while looking up. Not exactly the best way to do architectural studies. Be that as it may, I wasn’t equipped with a telephoto to zoom in on the details from afar or…
A round of rust
How about a series of rusty pipe photos? I know, I know….you can calm down now. Be patient and you’ll be able to view this wonderful series as soon as you are done reading. I took these photos last month when I was just testing out the Lumix GX1 camera and never did anything with them. I don’t know why – I mean, seriously, the…
Thank you subscribers
I just want to take the time to thank everyone who has subscribed to my blog. It really means a lot to me that you care enough to want to know what I post and take the time to visit often. Trying to get this blog off the ground gets a little easier when I know folks are interested in…
Texture and tones
I don’t know why I’ve been on this black and white kick lately, but I may as well enjoy it while it’s here. Of course, coming across a scene like this helps fuel the fire somewhat. A simple scene of a pipe running through a bracket into some rubber flaps is transformed into a cool abstract when broken down into light and…
Home is where the art is
Since I’m still working on re-doing some rooms in my house, I’m still not able to get out and do much photography. I don’t think I’m missing much though since it’s still winter, albeit a mild one, and things still look pretty dull out there. Lately my weekends have been filled with either working in the house or going shopping…
