Back on February 2nd, the groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, said spring was around the corner. Well it IS spring and it still feels like winter. Considering I don’t live too far from his “hole”, I have to say that varmint doesn’t know what he is talking (talking?) about! Other than that, I have been well and waiting for the transformation into…

We-eeell, I can’t quit you, baby, But I got to put you down a little while
To quote the late great Willie Dixon I think I’m going to take a little break from the blog and photography for a week or two. I just need to spend some time catching up on things like my guitar playing, some reading, research, work on the house, etc. Maybe even sit down and watch a movie or two. It’s…
Really? Has it been a week?
Wow, time flies when you’re not posting! I haven’t posted in a week mostly because I haven’t taken any photographs. A few snaps here and there but not much of any value. And I am not really sure if this photo is any value but I do like the scene. The colors in the original were all muted, basically a…
It was a day in September
I’ve been gradually cleaning my files out over the past week, getting rid of a lot of junk photos that were just taking up space. I do a lot of test shots when I get new gear and after using them for evaluation, they don’t really serve a need any longer, yet I always forget to delete them. So on occasion…

I don’t know what a half drunk case of Classic Coke has to do with antiques, but there it was!
Glass
I find that glass, in the form of bottles and vases, always makes for interesting still lifes. The transparency, curves and reflections allow for an almost endless variety of compositions. Subtle changes in light or angle can take on a whole new look. I should make it a quest to collect old bottles when I find them and save them…
fence
I seriously cannot think of anything to talk about lately. I am sorry about that, although I don’t think anyone comes here to read anything. 😉 With that, I present a couple wire fence shots. Careful, don’t get pricked.
Back alley bonanza
A box of well weathered gourds seen in a back alley on the South Side.
Lay dying
A few of the old broken tombstones at the Trinity Episcopal Cathedral located in downtown Pittsburgh. I decided to keep them simple with a straightforward black and white conversion. Nothing fancy today.
Bibokehcycle
Just a couple of shots of a colorful bicycle I spotted while walking around the Southside today. Speaking of “bokeh”, I do like to throw the word around on occasion, and so do many others. I don’t want to try to define the word because there have been many discussions about the topic all over the web, but I think the…
