365-274 Up and down

Today ended on a bit of a sour note. I was off from work so I slept in and got up pretty late. It was all dark and rainy outside so I played guitar for a couple of hours. I’ve been working on learning all of David Gilmour’s Pink Floyd solos. I learned a few of them in the past…

365-273 A graffiti day

I hope the viewers who have enjoyed my flower photos don’t feel alienated as I go about my 365 adventure. Flowers and nature are just a small part of what I like to photograph. As I have mentioned in the past, I can’t really nail exactly what my photographic style is. I know I don’t fit exclusively in standard categories like…

365-272 The pressures of fame

As if it wasn’t enough pressure to come up with a somewhat interesting photo every day, with my blog being featured on WordPress Freshly Pressed today I feel like the spotlight is on me now. I was at work and decided to check my emails on my phone and noticed a large number of notification emails about my blog. So using my handy WordPress…

365-270 No rush

Although there are signs that the seasons are changing, it will still be about another month before it really looks like autumn around here. I hope I can do the season justice in the coming weeks. Last year, I had some camera gear in for service right at the peak time and it was tough to watch the colors go…

365-265 The final 100!

Whew, only 100 more days to finish my 365! I’m kind of looking forward to it because having to come up with a somewhat interesting photo every day is a bit nerve-racking at times, especially when I am busy with other things. Yet, at the same time, having to do it has pushed me creatively further than I ever would…

365-264 Keep on truckin’

I know I just did photos of an old truck the other day, but I stumbled upon another today and couldn’t  resist.  I was slightly ahead of schedule this morning and thought I would swing through a small town right off of the interstate. Even though I haven’t been through the town of West Alexander, Pennsylvania in probably close to 20 years, I…

365-262 Wrong place

It seems that every time I see a rainbow and want to take a photo of it I am in the most un-photogenic places. Todays photo was taken in a mini-mart parking lot as I stopped for a coffee this morning. I may have been able to drive to a better location but it was a fleeting moment so I thought…

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.…

365-257 Greetings from West Virginia

I thought a postcard post title is apt for my postcardy image today. I saw these gas pumps yesterday and kept them in my mind for a future subject. But today as I was driving by the owner of the property, Sue Moore, was outside chatting with a friend so I asked if I could take a  few photos. She was…

365-248 I’m surprised I am awake

Did you ever have one of those days where you just feel sleepy all day? Today is one of days for me.  A holiday, constant heavy rain, cooler temperatures and dark and gloomy. I slept in this morning so I should be well rested but I’m just feeling sluggish. On days like this when you have things to do it’s…
