Much anticipated follow up

Man, this week has been flying by! I’ve been so busy that I forgot I wanted to follow up my last post with some color photos of the flowers. As I mentioned last time, I wasn’t super thrilled with what I shot but, considering this will probably wrap up any flower photos for this year, I figured one last blast won’t…

Down, but not out (until Saturday)

I got hit with yet another cold this past week. I think that makes at least three weekends this past year that I was sick and the symptoms from last weekends cold are still sticking around this weekend. I have my energy back for the most part but there still is that lingering “just not right” feeling. It didn’t help…

It’s all about sharing

When I’m shooting large amounts of photos, which I try to do when I am out purposely taking photos, I tend to process a few of the ones I like after the shoot then share them here and on Flickr, or even Facebook on occasion, and the next thing I know I am moving on to the next batch. Sometimes good photos…

Let’s see some contrast!

A little creature I spotted in a mailbox. Poor guy has a part of a leg missing. This shot was an instant black and white moment.The spider was yellowish and the black metal reflecting the daylight was bluish so I knew right away that I could get a nice contrast in black and white. B&W is fun when there are…

Enough with the negativity

I know I am probably too hard on myself, not only with my photography, but in almost everything I do. I am, as they say, my own worst critic. I don’t think I am too negative though, I do believe I do a number of things quite well, it’s just that I think I don’t do them well enough. Enough…

An autumn day in July

No, I’m not talking about the weather, although last weekend was a little cool and wet. I’m talking about todays photo which was taken on an autumn day back in 2009. Digging through the archives again on this slow photo day and I thought I would dig a little further back. Not too far back, this isn’t Throwback Thursday, which…

Let’s mix it up and go outdoors for some colorful fun!

Time to take a break from the junk, er, excuse me, “antique” store windows and go outdoors. Outdoors in this case are some photos from the Magnolia Plantation in South Carolina. A few miscellaneous shots from around the grounds. They’re the best I could do, considering the midday light. I would love to take another walk through on a better…

Minimal reptile

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…
