In a fit of nothing better to do, I went through some of my old photo files with a hopefully fresh look at some of my past work. I like to do that on occasion just to see if I missed something the first time around, or perhaps see if I can process a photo a different direction from what…

Be afraid
OK, not really. But since it is getting near the Halloween season, who can’t resist some creepy graveyard photos? Well, they may not be too creepy but they fit the mood. I actually took these photos a year ago on this day along with about a gazillion other subjects. I certainly was on a roll that day, unlike this year…
Scoolhouse(s) rock
I’m not even sure if these buildings were ever schoolhouses, but I came up with a catchy post title and I’m sticking with it! 🙂 These are just a couple of old rural buildings I came across during my travels and I thought they looked interesting. I basically shot them from the road so I didn’t get to put much effort…
Watch those auto levels
One of the first things I do when I open a RAW file in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) is hit the “auto” button which corrects the levels to what it thinks is right for the image. Most times it does a good job and I only have to make a few tweaks on the sliders before opening the file in…
Back to the blues
I don’t have a whole lot to say about this photo. It’s just one of those things you spot while you’re out and about and think that it may be worth getting a shot of. One of those things that just catches your eye, for some reason. The reason here, of course, is the abundance of  blue. Plus the fact…
A spring tree
I was sitting at a stop light and noticed this large pink tree in someones yard. I had my camera in the truck and snapped a photo before moving on. I really like the spring blossoms and all of the colors of the spring season. I think it would be cool if some trees were as colorful all of the…
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…
Spring color…..(sort of)
Considering the mild winter we had and the warm temperatures forecasted for the coming week, one can’t help but think of spring. But no matter how warm and sunny, we won’t see much spring color around here for at least another month or two. It starts with the grass getting greener, then the flowers and blossoms start blooming and finally…
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…
