T is for tree

Just a couple of tree photos I took over the last few days. I’m not overly happy with them, mostly because I didn’t take the time to study the scenes. I was thinking too “normal” when I was shooting.  It was only afterwards, when viewing the images on the computer, that I spotted way better compositions that I totally missed. Sigh.…

A grave decision

I have been a little heavy on the black and white lately so I decided some color pics would be nice. And what’s more colorful than flowers? Astute readers may note that there are graves in the photos and are probably thinking, “geesh, is that guy in the cemetery again?” Well, not really. I was in Columbus for a vintage guitar…

Thanks for the help…and more B&W

I want to thank everyone who helped me in deciding on images in my last post. I’m going with #’s 2, 4, 7, and 8. And I’m going to throw in #6 as a wild card. So after all of the numbers being thrown around and talk of black and white, I can’t think of a better picture to post…

Suddenly, it’s (last) summer

While winding down from this nice long (and hot!!) holiday weekend here in the USA, I thought I would look back and see what I was shooting around the same time last year. I was in the midst of my 365 project then so I was taking photos like crazy. I wasn’t working at the time so it was easy…

A rocky start

Just a few more black and white images to share with you. These were all taken around a campground and the subjects are basically non-subjects. Hey, I can only shoot what’s in front of me. 🙂 For some reason I am really liking the black and white images I have been getting with the Lumix camera lately. I don’t know what…

A round of rust

How about a series of rusty pipe photos? I know, I know….you can calm down now. Be patient and you’ll be able to view this wonderful series as soon as you are done reading. I took these photos last month when I was just testing out the Lumix GX1 camera and never did anything with them. I don’t know why – I mean, seriously, the…

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…

Purple palm trees!

I thought I would post a nice colorful photo for this weekend. A night-time street scene on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach. I would think a thousand other tourists have a similar shot, but nobody I saw walking by with cameras bothered to point it in the same direction. It’s not often that I make the attempt at an after dark photo, mostly…

Sea and surf

Until I get done processing more of the monastery photos, I thought I would show a few beach photos. Waking up and hearing the ocean and taking walks on the beach in the evening were some of the relaxing moments of my trip. It’s a different feeling that you don’t get in Pennsylvania. I kept most of my beach shooting…

Moving a monastery to Miami

On Friday, after checking out of our hotel in Miami, we had a few hours to fill before heading to the airport. I remembered seeing a sign for an “Ancient Spanish Monastery” during our travels and thought that it may be worth exploring to waste some time and grab a few photos. It was easy enough to find, situated on a…
