Since I am taking a bit of a holiday, I thought I would dig into the archives and pull out one of my favorite images from a few years back. Why is it a favorite? I have no idea. I just always liked it. It was taken near an old quarry and I guess these are temporary power poles. Like most…

Contraption
These hunting tree stands are very prominent around the rural areas where I work. They range in style from small, manufactured generic ones to elaborate homemade versions, like the one pictured here. They all seem a little sketchy to me, from a safety standpoint. But I guess the idea is once you are in one you are not going to…
A fox and a rabbit walk into a bar…
And that could possibly happen when the Anthrocon convention is in Pittsburgh. It has become an annual summer treat to see all of the furry critters and other “characters” walking around. Their convention is serious business for them but a bit of a spectacle for the rest of us. But they seem to enjoy Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh enjoys them. I know all…
Let’s talk texture
I hope everyone in the USA had a safe and happy Independence Day. Hopefully if you are a working person, like myself, you were able to turn it into a four-day summer weekend! Back to the photos. I received a new Pentax K-5 IIs camera on Wednesday evening that I have been wanting to try out. I wanted to try it…
Sunday evening post
I just kind of realized that I have been posting almost regularly on Sunday evenings. If there one thing I cannot say about my work, it’s consistency. So having something that is somewhat dependable is nice, I imagine, at least from an artistic standpoint. It’s too bad I don’t have much to say this evening. 🙂 So I’ll leave you…
Changing
I want to change the way I shoot. I spent almost a whole day in the city of Pittsburgh on Friday and this is my favorite shot of the day. I like the strong shadows as the skateboarder tried numerous attempts. Not much, I know but at least it has some kind of vision. And I know the reason why.…
Just my imagination running away with me
I’ve been finding myself wandering too much lately when it comes to photography. I am caught up in this attempt to create a fantastic photo, head out to create that photo, and end up finding myself disappointed at the end of the day. I am thinking too much. Way too much. I think I have a great location planned where I’ll…
If it makes you happy
As I was heading out the door on my way to work this morning, I had to stop abruptly when I spotted this baby bunny on the walk in front of me with a watchful parent nearby. I could have easily walked on, they would have hopped away, and I would have continued on to work thinking nothing of it, but I…
Old vehicles in black and white
Just a few roadside finds from the weekend. Nothing much in the way of interesting subject matter but it gave me a chance to work on my B&W processing skills. Old junk cars look good in black and white. The only thing I don’t like about this first photo is the newish garage doors in the background. Kind of the…
Switch it up a little
Giving everybody a break from the spring theme photos. The fact that this outhouse in the woods is at least 1,000 feet from the nearest house is a little frightening. That would be one long hard walk, especially in the middle of winter! 😉 Looks like it hasn’t been used in a while though. I didn’t dare look inside.
