I’m going to take a break from color and go dark. Real dark. This is what you do when you can’t get a close-up of an alligator (the not long enough lens thing). So to make the best of it I went simple and graphic. Does it work? Eh, I don’t know. This is one of the shots where I…

July 2014
We’ll see how this July daily post thing works. I think I can do it with some ease but when I think about it too much I have my doubts. Considering I did a full 365 back in 2011 you wouldn’t think I would have any problem but, as Mr. Dylan said, things have changed. Keeping on a greenish hued theme from…
Posting about posting
Hi, welcome back! I decided I am going to attempt to post every day in the month of July. Why? Well why not, I say. Seriously, I just feel the need to push myself a little and posting every day necessitates going the extra inch. What the posts will be, I don’t know yet. They may simply be photos with a…
It’s that time
With the summer weather finally upon us I will be taking to some time to get some things done at the house and, of course, taking a holiday or two. I plan on doing some shooting whenever I can fit it in but I don’t know how often I’ll be posting – could be hit or miss. I may throw…
Branching out with buildings
In my ever-changing mind I thought I would try some straight up building shots for something different. I was thinking black and white right from the get-go and the late afternoon sky and light really enhanced the scenes. I basically just walked around looking for different perspectives than I normally would. Normally my eyes are on the ground looking for…
City Lines
It’s been a while since I walked around the city just for the purpose of photography. Being a holiday weekend I had some free time and wanted to at least try to do some shooting in downtown Pittsburgh. I figured late Sunday afternoon wouldn’t be too busy but a Pirates baseball game just let out as my wife and I…
Little things mean a lot
I purchased a macro lens a few months back and I’m finally getting able to practice with it a little. Plants and bugs are the natural subjects of macro lenses but since this particular model (Pentax DA35mm Limited) literally focuses right up to the front element, bugs are out of the equation for now. So my focus has been on plants. I…
Feed me
Trying to come up with good content for a photography blog gets to be a little tough after a while. I guess if your a full-time photographer or journalist it’s not that tough. Or maybe if you’re a travel photographer who is always on the move visiting new places every week, I guess filling the blog with exotic imagery may not…
Wrestling with the wind
Yes, I am still in my spring blossom shooting mode. It happens every year for a week or two, then I’m done. After this week I’ll go back to shooting buildings and such, trying to find abstracts, and chasing the light and looking the other way. After yet another bout of weekend illness (flu, fever, cold, whatever you want to…
But Mama, that’s where the fun is
Mama always told me not to look into the eye’s of the sun But mama, that’s where the fun is – B. Springsteen (I always liked the Manfred Mann version) In my never-ending quest to take Spring Blossom photos in new ways (at least for me), today I discovered the sun. Spring has been so long in coming and coupled…
