Whew, only 100 more days to finish my 365! I’m kind of looking forward to it because having to come up with a somewhat interesting photo every day is a bit nerve-racking at times, especially when I am busy with other things. Yet, at the same time, having to do it has pushed me creatively further than I ever would…

365-264 Keep on truckin’
I know I just did photos of an old truck the other day, but I stumbled upon another today and couldn’t resist. I was slightly ahead of schedule this morning and thought I would swing through a small town right off of the interstate. Even though I haven’t been through the town of West Alexander, Pennsylvania in probably close to 20 years, I…
365-263 Architecture – more or less
I love taking photos of architecture. Not so much shooting a whole building but finding details and abstracts within the design that may go un-noticed to passersby. Modern designs work great for black and white abstracts when working with their sleek minimalist lines. Old buildings offer lots of detail, the more weathered the better, especially for color work. I like…
365-262 Wrong place
It seems that every time I see a rainbow and want to take a photo of it I am in the most un-photogenic places. Todays photo was taken in a mini-mart parking lot as I stopped for a coffee this morning. I may have been able to drive to a better location but it was a fleeting moment so I thought…
365-260 Scenes from a blue truck
I’m beat from the week, so I’m going to keep the chatter to a minimum tonight. This is a blue truck that was on a project I am on. Of course, being old and worn (the truck, not me), I was immediately attracted to it. I tried to keep some consistency to the processing of the series for a change.…
365-258 Re-cycling
Nitro, West Virginia is a long narrow town nestled in a river valley. Besides the industrial areas it’s only a few blocks wide and a few miles long. One thing I noticed when driving through over the past few months was a number of folks getting around on old vintage bicycles. The town is relatively flat with plenty of low…
365-257 Greetings from West Virginia
I thought a postcard post title is apt for my postcardy image today. I saw these gas pumps yesterday and kept them in my mind for a future subject. But today as I was driving by the owner of the property, Sue Moore, was outside chatting with a friend so I asked if I could take a few photos. She was…
365-256 I had to do it
I know you’ve seen those pictures of oil tank stairs with the long curvy shadows from strong sunlight creating an abstract pattern. I always wanted to try a shot like that but I never really come across the scenario. Well today I got a chance and the results aren’t quite what I imagined. I saw some tanks yesterday when I…
365-254 Compression
My one day off today and I had a zillion things to do, so I’ll be short tonight. This is just a simple telephoto compression shot of some downtown buildings. I originally liked it in color due to the various paint colors and details but as soon as I tried a black and white conversion I was instantly drawn to…
365-253 Is that a rock?
Driving down a dirt road in a landfill this foggy morning I spotted this little guy walking in front of me. I grabbed my camera to take a quick pic but he was pretty shy and quickly hid inside his shell. So I waited and every time I would try to get a photo he closed up. My brain seems…
