It’s been a long day and seemed like a long week, so I’ll keep it short tonight. I spotted this truck in a back alley a few weeks ago and never had the opportunity to shoot it until today. I only had the chance to process a couple black and white, low key images for now. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Hot…

365-312 Camera talk
Todays photo, taken right here in my hotel room, is the best I could do today. That says a lot. Just like reaching the end of the internet, I think I photographed everything around here! Okay, probably not, but I’m just not feeling it. I’m sure I’ll find something incredible tomorrow and today will be a distant memory. Hotel Shadows…
365-311 One more
I know I did the mid-autumn color post a few days ago but I couldn’t resist one more photo. This big leaf landed on this vine during it’s descent and was backlit by the late afternoon sun. It really glowed and easily caught my eye. Should be one of the last nature photos of any color that I take this year…
365-309 Whew!
I know what you are thinking……..”Dave, what’s up with the lame photo?” Well it’s been a long day. I had to work today and finish up (sort of) some testing and then I hit the road for the long trip home. Along the way, my truck started riding real rough. It took me a while to figure it out but I thought something…
365-308 This one is like the other
I took a photo on the job site today that reminded me of the photo I had in my infamous Freshly Pressed post (365-271) of a compactor on a slope. They were both shot in similar situations of late afternoon sunlight and shooting towards the slope. That photo was in black and white and even though I think this photo…
365-307 Finding things
If you read past posts you’ll see that I often talk about going out and looking for a photo subject. In fact there have been very few times where I had a predetermined subject in mind for the day. Most days I’m out there seeing what I can find. Occasionally I’ll just bump into something, shoot it, and think, “hmm,…
365-306 Metal Fatigue
Just a nod to one of my favorite guitarists and albums: Allan Holdsworth Since I was a bit tired when I got off of work today, I wanted to find something to shoot on my way back to my hotel instead of going out later. The sun was about to set and the strong sidelight was great but in order to take advantage…
365-305 Totally tubular
I was waiting for some fog to clear and frost to melt this morning at work when I found myself next to these large rolls of plastic. I liked how the morning sun was lighting the other side of the tube and created nice reflections on the black core. Since the rolls are 23′ long, selective focus was the key. For my…
365-304 Art for art
Wow, it’s getting difficult to find photo subjects as the days get shorter. The project I am on for work keeps me busy until near dark, which doesn’t help. I try to find stuff on the way back to my hotel while there is still light but it’s a well worn path. Occasionally I’ll find something new or see something old in…
365-302 Just a 365
I’ve been in a little bit of a slump lately, not just artistically but in general also. Life has just been catching up with me and I let it. I just have to make some changes soon in order to carry on in a more positive way. It’s not any health or family issues, everything is fine in that regard,…
