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…

365-269 Changes
I originally thought I was going to do an autumn photo today. I shot some leaves at lunch time and was planning to do a texture treatment during post processing. I had it all figured out and was content. But while I was at work we had a late afternoon rain shower. It came down fairly heavy. After the rain I…
365-260 Scenes from a blue truck
I’m beat from the week, so I’m going to keep the chatter to a minimum tonight. This is a blue truck that was on a project I am on. Of course, being old and worn (the truck, not me), I was immediately attracted to it. I tried to keep some consistency to the processing of the series for a change.…
365-242 Dumpster dive
I’m not diving into dumpsters but I always find them as a good source of color, texture and abstract lines. The more beat-up and left to rot the better. Like yesterday, I took this photo during the day as part of my “shoot anything and everything” strategy. Even when I have a few shots from the day, I usually like…
365-222 Blue
I am not blue, but I like blue. Blue is cool. So are the blues. Of course, since I am a guitarist, I like blues guitar music. I like all types of blues guitar; Texas, Hill Country, Chicago, Delta, British, jazz, acoustic, electric, etc., etc.. I also like guitarist who were inspired by the blues but aren’t necessarily labeled as blues…
365-198 A Volvo P1800E
It’s still the weekend so I’ll just focus on one subject today. I spotted an old Volvo P1800 in a dealers lot the other day and today I thought I would try to get a few shots of it. I just stuck with my DA 17-70 lens with a polarizer on my Pentax K20D and walked around the car. I focused on details…
365-176 The flowers lost out.
Unlike the other day when a shot of a flower beat out what was to be my 365 shot (365-172), today was just the opposite. I saw these nice flowers near the iron fence at the Bradford House yesterday and thought that they looked nice. I took a photo of them today figuring I would use it for my 365.…
365-112 I’ll go easy on you today
I won’t do any rambling story on the photo background today. No reason, just don’t have much to say. So, until tomorrow, enjoy! Two Blue Doors
365-88 Familiar color scheme
The only place in town that has bright colors and is somewhat clean is an industrial supply warehouse. This is a gate entrance that caught my eye as I was traveling past the building. I think the blue and yellow combination works well for photos. I’m including another picture I took earlier in the year at another location. Both with K20D and…
365-84 One created, one found
A couple “abstracts” for today, and I use that term loosely. For my 365 shot, my wife and I stopped in Starbucks and she tried one of their new mini-deserts, which come in these small cube boxes, for some reason. I was playing around with the empty box and held it up against the blue sky and liked the contrast of the…
