PX3 Silver Award

I am happy to announce that my photograph “Stare Tactic” won a Silver Award in the 2023 in the PX3 Le Prix de la Photographie de Paris in the nature category. This shot was unusual for me as it was in color ( I rarely enter color images in competitions) and it is of a bird (I am far from…

The results are in! Lenswork Trilogies 2022

I am happy to report that my images have been selected to appear in the Lenswork Publishing “Trilogies 2022: book. The book is a series of three-image collections from 125 photographers. My images were part of a project I did photographing the interior details at the Cathedral of Learning in Pittsburgh. Though I am a fan of architecture photography, I…

Autumn Roundup

Just though I would post a roundup of some of my autumn themed photos from this year. Not the most beautiful shots but one or two might be good enough for a bank calendar! Nothing special location-wise. I just shot mainly around some local parks. Gear was either my Fujifilm XT3 or Leica M9. Just click on a pic to…

Spring. A refreshed outlook.

Regular readers (LOL) may have noticed that I always try to get away from ‘nature’ photography. I seem like I am happier when I get to photograph something of a different, ahem, nature. Yes, I do enjoy the occasional urban/street/automotive/abstract photograph, but I have decided that I will embrace the nature. Yes, I am going to happily photograph the natural…

My favorite photo from 2021

Generally, if I end up with one or two “good” photos in a year I am happy. I try not to be one of those people who show every photo they take. I really do try to self edit as much as possible. Sometimes one gets through that I later think, “meh, shouldn’t have shown that one”. Other times my…

Shooting vicariously through others

My photography output has been awfully low these past few months. I think I have shot less than I have in years. Why? Just a combination of things – first the usual suspects such as work and home, followed by the total lack of anything to shoot. I know, I have pretty much created my “style” around shooting anything and…

Cubism

In my last post that I titled a whirlwind of activity I found that I failed to mention any activity. Since the post before that one, my old computer died and I had to get a new one and start all over with installing programs, getting used to Windows 10, reinstalling programs, getting aggravated with windows 10, finding workarounds to…

A whirlwind of activity

I know it’s been over a month since my last post and honestly I never realized how fast time was flying by. I surprised I still have a few visitors every day because it would appear that I abandoned this site. But I’m still here! Well, for the time being at least. I have an idea for another site more…

Let it snow!

Ah yes, the snow has returned to WordPress!! It’s the most wonderful time of year! To add to the delight, I believe this photo I shot today has that light, snowy feel to it, even though it’s a weed. A dandelion in December! I haven’t done much macro work this year, most likely because I haven’t owned a macro lens since June.…
