He who wonders discovers that this in itself is wonder. – M. C. Escher OK, this doesn’t quite look like an Escher drawing, but that’s what shiny globe reflections always remind me of. I shot this while wandering past some antique shops in a nearby town where I can usually find interesting objects to shoot that are displayed in the…

Through the looking glass
In this case, the looking glass being the window of an antiques store. I was walking around Wheeling the other day looking for things to shoot, mostly to test a new camera. I like to try out a camera in a variety of real world shooting situations and take photos of things I normally shoot to get a real evaluation…
Crickets chirping….
…..is what I hear around here lately. It’s been a bit lonely with the lack of visitors but I have no one to blame but myself. My photography output is way down since last years 365 project. Plus I find that, without the pressure of having to do a daily photo, I don’t push myself to get out there and shoot. I…
Pretty just didn’t work
I took photos of some tulips the other day and, although they are pretty, they look like every other tulip photo I have taken. Or every one that everyone else has taken also. I was still in the early spring mood and thought some nice colorful flowers would be nice to feature here. After uploading to my PC and viewing…
Small signs of spring (No blues for the blues)
Considering this is the middle of March in Pennsylvania, the weather has been incredibly warm the past week. The forecast for the next week calls for more of the same, so one can’t help but think spring. Even though it technically becomes spring this week, I just hope nothing happens, like a freak snowstorm in April, to destroy the mood. One…
Got wood?
A couple of earthy, woody shots for today. I don’t think I’ll win any composition awards with these but I liked the general warmth of the photos. I processed the photos with a warming filter, which basically steers the color balance towards yellow. It’s a bit of an extreme shift, and one that wouldn’t work well in a lot of situations, but I think it…
Black and white(house)
I’m posting this photo mainly to keep this site relevant and up to date. My photography has been painfully lapse the past few months and I find myself with the flu again this weekend. The third time I’ve been sick this year! Considering I could probably count how many times I’ve been this sick in the past say, ten years, on…
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…
What’s that white stuff?
It felt like winter around here again today, with the snow and colder temperatures and all. What’s up with that? I personally liked it but people get used to the mild winter and forget what winter is supposed to be like. I think the first thing they forget is how to drive in snow – but I’ll leave that for another…
A snowy day at the cemetery
In response to my last post….we got snow! Not a major amount but it was snowy and cold enough to feel like winter for a change. So in order to take advantage of it, I thought I would try to take some pictures while I was out today. I figured I would visit the city cemetery to grab some shots since it’s…
