If there is a category I generally don’t fit into, it’s that of the “consumer”. I don’t feel the need to purchase every new electronic gadget that’s released. I don’t shop at warehouse store and devour large quantities of goods. I buy clothes only when I need them (although I do try to dress decently). We don’t use massive amounts…

I did manage to get one B&W image yesterday
As a follow-up to my last post, I did manage to find one image from the cemetery shoot that worked best in black and white. It’s an obvious cemetery scene but I like the setting of the old and weathered tombstones. With nothing but stone and green grass I knew immediately the it was an ideal candidate for black and white. This is…
The party’s over, turn out the lights
A little break from my experiments. While I was in the park the other day trying to fulfill my artistic vision 😉 I took a few shots of this lonely swing set. I don’t know why, it was something to shoot but really didn’t offer much as far as details or textures. Regardless, I took a few shots, trying to play…
Steps and doors
A little black and white study in angles taken while on a walk around an urban neighborhood. These photos were taken at separate parts of the journey yet I feel that they belong together. Processed in NIk Silver Efex with a higher contrast to emphasize the geometric shapes.
Room for square
It’s square crop time. This is one of those compositions that just worked best that way. The remainder of the picture was just the left side of the front tank but I thought the square crop emphasized the lines and angles better. Or maybe I’m just seeing things.
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…
T is for tree
Just a couple of tree photos I took over the last few days. I’m not overly happy with them, mostly because I didn’t take the time to study the scenes. I was thinking too “normal” when I was shooting. It was only afterwards, when viewing the images on the computer, that I spotted way better compositions that I totally missed. Sigh.…
A rocky start
Just a few more black and white images to share with you. These were all taken around a campground and the subjects are basically non-subjects. Hey, I can only shoot what’s in front of me. 🙂 For some reason I am really liking the black and white images I have been getting with the Lumix camera lately. I don’t know what…
I miss the snow
Here it is, the 1st of February, the middle of winter, and we have yet to have any appreciable snowfall. We have only had a couple of snow events so far this winter and together they only amounted to just a few inches, and then quickly melted within the next day or so after they occurred. Mostly it has just…
365-354 It’s a mystery
I took some photos of raindrops today. I took a LOT of photos of raindrops today. It rained all day, so naturally that was the subject of the day…..until. Until I saw this little figurine in a small pile of trash mixed in with some dirt in the landfill. It was bright yellow and easily caught my eye amongst the brown…
