365-227 Let’s review

Looking back at the past few weeks worth of photos, I really think I’m all over the place a little too much. I thought I would surely have a consistent style and rhythm down by now and this daily shot thing would be a breeze, right?  Wrong….well, in a way. Although I still don’t see a style emerging, I do…

365-226 Feeling textural

I took a photo of my neighbors flowers on my way out today just to have a shot “in the can.” After I ran some errands I uploaded the pics to see if I had to go back out and do some shooting. When I saw this particular image I thought it would make a good texture shot. I browsed…

365-222 Blue

I am not blue, but I like blue. Blue is cool. So are the blues. Of course, since I am a guitarist, I like blues guitar music. I like all types of blues guitar; Texas, Hill Country, Chicago, Delta, British, jazz, acoustic, electric, etc., etc.. I also like guitarist who were inspired by the blues but aren’t necessarily labeled as blues…

365-221 Decisions, decisions

I went back and forth on two totally different photos to use for my 365 today  I’ll post both photos here and let you decide if I made the right choice. In the end, the warm color of the rusty metal won out. Though I do like the graphic simplicity of the window shot and I went back and forth between…

365-219 The benefits of digital

Besides the fact that you can choose between black and white or color whenever you want or that you can shoot a wide variety of ISO’s to fit the situation, you can also go wild in processing a photo, if you choose. I probably wouldn’t normally choose to do such image manipulation but when your back is against the wall…

365-218 Stylin’

Ah, the landau top. A wonderful exercise in automotive design. Throw it on a big, wide Buick and you’ll be the talk of the town. I remember doing some car detailing when I was younger and almost all of the cars had vinyl tops. Reconditioning a vinyl top really wasn’t any fun but when the owner saw the gleaming white…

365-217 Some color for a change

I haven’t really done any bold color abstracts in a while so, although this wasn’t the photo I planned on using, it won out. I was in a landfill again (yet another one) and this is leachate stained plastic liner. In real life it’s just a typical sight you see on a landfill but I just seemed to notice another dimension in…

365-216 Ramblin’

I have been bouncing around on different project sites for my work lately. It has been making my photography a little difficult because I’ve been spending almost the whole day on job sites and I don’t get to explore the areas too much. The good thing is I have still been on the lookout for potential subjects for when I…

365-214 If I’m doing grass…

…it’s because either I couldn’t find anything to shoot at all or it was a long, busy day and I really didn’t have the energy to try to find a better shot. Today was more of the latter. I shot the grasses towards the end of the day, just fooling around basically, and thought I would go out after I…

365-210 One week later

Another day of traveling back home. On my way I visited the same place I took last Fridays daily photo. Like last Friday I didn’t have a photo for the day until stopping at the park since there is not much to shoot on a highway in the middle of the day.  I had to stop for gas anyway and it’s…
