Not only has it been too long since I last posted, it’s been a while since I’ve actually had a chance to take any photos. With my new job, since I’m still in orientation mode, my days are being spent with other people so I can’t be snapping photos every time I see something interesting :-). And although the days are…

What’s that white stuff?
It felt like winter around here again today, with the snow and colder temperatures and all. What’s up with that? I personally liked it but people get used to the mild winter and forget what winter is supposed to be like. I think the first thing they forget is how to drive in snow – but I’ll leave that for another…
A snowy day at the cemetery
In response to my last post….we got snow! Not a major amount but it was snowy and cold enough to feel like winter for a change. So in order to take advantage of it, I thought I would try to take some pictures while I was out today. I figured I would visit the city cemetery to grab some shots since it’s…
3 days down (visiting Dawes Arboretum)
I got hit with another cold/fever for the second time in a month. That’s highly unusual for me as I rarely get sick that often. Last months illness only lasted for about 36 hours, but his time around was a little heavier and knocked me down for the past three days. With another week to go before I start my new…
Maybe it’s just me
Every once in a while I come across a scene that just intrigues me. It could be something simple like a color or texture that first captures my attention and then I just have to stop and get a photo. This scene was one of those. I just liked the colors and textures at work here. Add the cross, the pink…
Icicles melt
We had some freezing rain along with a little more snow last night. My truck was encased in the frozen fun and before I thawed it out, I grabbed a few photos of the icicles hanging from it in various spots. It would have been a good day to head out into the woods and get some frozen nature shots…
Bridges
Bridges – Utah Phillips and Ani DiFranco – “The Past Didn’t Go Anywhere” In honor of a really cool song by two talented artists. I spotted this bridge while traveling around today and thought it just had something about it. I’ve been past this bridge probably hundreds of times yet it just caught my eye today. I don’t know why and I’m…
Working photos – not art
I’m back, but not with any of my normal artsy photos because I’m continuing my house rehab. I finally started the nitty-gritty part of my room remodeling. The ugly part that’s no fun to do. Fixing cracks in the plaster, patching holes, changing electric, preparing for paint, etc.. I didn’t get any work done today because I had to take…
Like snow, man
It finally snowed! Considering this is winter, I’m considering that as a good thing. I know a lot of people like mild temperatures and no snow in the winter but I think things are just too ugly this time of year without snow. Mild temperatures just mean it’s going to rain all of the time and I’d rather have snow than…
Changes
I’m currently going through some changes that should provide for a better life in the future. Well, as much as physical things can provide. One thing I’ve started is renovating a room in my house to be a music/photography/computer room. There will be a specific area for my computer for both working on photos and to use as a digital…
