I went back and forth on two totally different photos to use for my 365 today I’ll post both photos here and let you decide if I made the right choice. In the end, the warm color of the rusty metal won out. Though I do like the graphic simplicity of the window shot and I went back and forth between…

365-218 Stylin’
Ah, the landau top. A wonderful exercise in automotive design. Throw it on a big, wide Buick and you’ll be the talk of the town. I remember doing some car detailing when I was younger and almost all of the cars had vinyl tops. Reconditioning a vinyl top really wasn’t any fun but when the owner saw the gleaming white…
365-215 Puzzling
I’m still spending the bulk of my day in a very un-photogenic place so I’m having a difficult time being creative with my shots. I’ll find a way to work around it soon but having the constraints forces me to look at things differently and try to pull a photo out. Not always successful. Not always interesting. Always a learning…
365-214 If I’m doing grass…
…it’s because either I couldn’t find anything to shoot at all or it was a long, busy day and I really didn’t have the energy to try to find a better shot. Today was more of the latter. I shot the grasses towards the end of the day, just fooling around basically, and thought I would go out after I…
365-213 The other side of the landfill
As a response to my earlier landfill nature post (365-207), I thought I would show some slightly different landfill photos. I’m on a different site than the one from last week that’s not as “woodsy” as that one. There may be some nature around but I didn’t get a chance to explore the site much. Sorry about my 365 shot being…
365-208 Finally, an old car!
So here I am in the hills of West Virginia this week and I thought for sure I would easily be able to get a picture of an old abandoned car or truck sitting in a field. Instead everything is kind of neat and tidy, Granted I am in the state capital area and trying not to stray too far…
365-206 Stranger in a strange land
So I am working out of town for a few more days and I’m having a tough time with my photography. I don’t know what it is but I’m not really happy with the direction it has been going the last few days (weeks?). I thought it would help being in a different city but so far it has been a…
365-205 Still in B&W
The past few days I have been liking the black and white versions of my 365 photos better than the color. I try to like color in most of my shots but if the color isn’t really a main component to the image, I feel that black and white enhances the elements of the photo better, especially when it comes…
365-204 A humanoid day
So I was driving through town and spotted yet another protest dummy sitting on a wall. This time at the local newspaper office. I shot a portion of a dummy before (365-164) at another location but I couldn’t figure out what the purpose was. Well today I discovered, from what I read on the dummy, it is an anti smoking demonstration.…
365-201 Now where’s that mouse
I am out of town for a couple of days and trying to do my photo editing as I go. The problem today was after getting back late to my hotel to work on a few photos I realized I didn’t bring a mouse to use with my laptop. Trying to edit photos using that little pad thingy is a lesson in…
