As dry as it has been, at least the corn got some rain yesterday and today. Unfortunately the rain came in the form of heavy storms which causes problems more than it helps any drought situations. As an example, I was driving through the hills of West Virginia yesterday and had to turn around multiple times due to flash flooding. A tough…

Something normal in Pittsburgh
On Saturday evening my wife and I found ourselves close enough to Pittsburgh for me to try to get a shot of the city at dusk. It was a beautiful evening and I thought, after looking at the sky, that I would get some interesting clouds in the background and that it may be worth a shot. Well by the time…
More window watching
Since my last post went over like a lead balloon, I guess I have no choice but to continue posting. Eventually I’ll get it right. Of course some interesting photography would help but, alas, I have none. I am not worried, I shall prevail and soon I will be gracing these pages with works of the highest caliber. Until then, please enjoy…
Forms
I wasn’t planning on posting anything today, mainly because I really haven’t been shooting anything of substance lately. But with a wild weekend planned of working on my house I thought I should put something up because it may be a while before I get to explore any photographic avenues. These are some old pipes near a work site that…
A sign
Well, an old one, for a classic beverage. Seen on the side of a very old and crooked barn. Nothing fancy, I just liked the colors and weathered look of it all.
More dry things
May as well stick with a theme for a couple posts! I got to take some photos of an old house I discovered in a nearby town and this is one of the detail shots. I saw the house a few months ago and finally decided to take the drive and get a few shots of it.
Dry
It sure has been hot and dry around here the past few weeks. Although a little relief is forecasted as far as temperatures, there still is no significant rainfall predicted. So it will be more of the same – dry cracked soil and brown plants and lawns. It is pretty mild and really no big deal for me, considering what many…
Uhm….I don’t know

Another from the rails
Here’s another shot from my visit to the train tracks. It’s just another rusty detail shot. This is the sliding mechanism on the boxcar doors. I shot a closer detail with the Leica 25mm but his one was shot with the Lumix G 14mm lens, which does quite well in its own right considering how little I paid for it and…
Down on the tracks
In my continuing gear test, I thought I would revisit the train tracks not too far from where I live. I know that there is a ton of detail on the old box cars that sit idle on the tracks. Things don’t change much there and I shot the same cars last year for a couple of posts, but I can always…
