One of those days where I didn’t feel like heading out for a photo. I got to enjoy playing my guitar today and just relaxing. So instead of looking for a subject I thought I would make one. It’s a rare event that I try still life photos, mostly because I lack any proper “studio” gear. Regardless I decided to…

365-293 Let’s keep it simple
I am back home again. Hopefully I can get caught up on some things while I’m here. My day consisted of watching it rain and then driving home on the highway. Although I sort of kept an eye out for a photo, I didn’t find anything of interest. Well, I did see some nice autumn views when driving through the mountains…
365-292 “It’s for an art project”
As I was taking some photos of a building today, a woman came out of a door that I just shot and said “may I ask what are you taking pictures for?” I replied, matter of factly, “it’s for an art project!” She stared back blankly, followed by a brief silence and then muttered “Hmm……..OK.” I use the “art project” reply…
365-289 Passing by
I must have passed by this barn a zillion times in my travels. It sits along a four-lane road in the middle of commercial and residential developments. I assume eventually it will disappear so I thought I should get a photo before it’s too late. The lighting seemed nice today and I was able to easily get a photo. I…
Scenes from West Alexander
A few shots I took in West Alexander, PA on my way to work this morning. Since I was going to work I couldn’t spend too much time looking for details so I worked somewhat too quickly and just shot things that caught my eye. Unfortunately, composition seemed to take a backseat at times 😦 Photos processed with Topaz Black…
365-287 Splendor
The creativity is just taking a nose dive lately. Maybe I’m a little burnt from trying the every day photo thing. Of course, I don’t have long to go and I’ll keep it up but it’s wearing a little. It’s not that I’m not seeing potential photos, I do, but I’m not being able to take any. I often see…
365-284 The stumbler
Hmm, this scenario has been happening a lot lately: I’m driving down an unfamiliar road looking for photo subjects. I then come to the conclusion that I’m going the wrong way, or not getting anywhere I want, or there isn’t anything of interest to shoot and decide to turn around at the first empty lot. When I turn into the…
365-283 Laptop visions
I’m back in the Charleston, WV area again for a few days. That means I’m working off of my laptop which isn’t my favorite place to process photos. But I’ll give it a good try. I took a wide variety of photos today, none of which truly excite me. That’s fine though because I did scout out a few potential shots for…
365-281 Traffic
If there is a word that describes today, it would have to be traffic. There seemed to be heavy traffic everywhere today. Just getting around, anywhere, was a chore. My wife and I left the house late in the afternoon and I thought we would go into Oakland area of Pittsburgh to try to some architecture photos. Unfortunately on our way…
365-278 Blue skies and sunshine
A nice clear day is a welcome change around here since it has been practically raining or cloudy for the past week or so. Unfortunately a nice clear day isn’t good for my photography since I often have to shoot during midday, due to my work schedule. On dark cloudy days the lighting is even and soft. On clear sunny days the…
