I have been bouncing around on different project sites for my work lately. It has been making my photography a little difficult because I’ve been spending almost the whole day on job sites and I don’t get to explore the areas too much. The good thing is I have still been on the lookout for potential subjects for when I…

365-215 Puzzling
I’m still spending the bulk of my day in a very un-photogenic place so I’m having a difficult time being creative with my shots. I’ll find a way to work around it soon but having the constraints forces me to look at things differently and try to pull a photo out. Not always successful. Not always interesting. Always a learning…
365-213 The other side of the landfill
As a response to my earlier landfill nature post (365-207), I thought I would show some slightly different landfill photos. I’m on a different site than the one from last week that’s not as “woodsy” as that one. There may be some nature around but I didn’t get a chance to explore the site much. Sorry about my 365 shot being…
365-212 Primary colors
With all of the running I’ve been doing this week it finally caught up to me. A little tired today, so, with the exception of doing a few errands for the coming week, I really didn’t feel like doing much today. The lawn is ugly because of all of the hot weather but I think it can survive another week…
365-208 Finally, an old car!
So here I am in the hills of West Virginia this week and I thought for sure I would easily be able to get a picture of an old abandoned car or truck sitting in a field. Instead everything is kind of neat and tidy, Granted I am in the state capital area and trying not to stray too far…
365-206 Stranger in a strange land
So I am working out of town for a few more days and I’m having a tough time with my photography. I don’t know what it is but I’m not really happy with the direction it has been going the last few days (weeks?). I thought it would help being in a different city but so far it has been a…
365-205 Still in B&W
The past few days I have been liking the black and white versions of my 365 photos better than the color. I try to like color in most of my shots but if the color isn’t really a main component to the image, I feel that black and white enhances the elements of the photo better, especially when it comes…
365-204 A humanoid day
So I was driving through town and spotted yet another protest dummy sitting on a wall. This time at the local newspaper office. I shot a portion of a dummy before (365-164) at another location but I couldn’t figure out what the purpose was. Well today I discovered, from what I read on the dummy, it is an anti smoking demonstration.…
365-200 One mans treasure
Whoa..200th photo! Although my 365 project is pushing me to new heights (and lows), I really can’t wait until it’s over, at least from my blog perspective. I feel like I am punishing my subscribers with daily emails about my posts of questionable interest. Next year I will only post on occasion when I have a nice selection of very…
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…
