I just found myself shooting a bunch of old things today. Besides the door, which is I saw in an urban environment, everything else was taken at an outdoor display area at a local antique store. the store was closed and the items were behind a locked fence so getting any kind of composition was difficult at best. I stuck…

365-248 I’m surprised I am awake
Did you ever have one of those days where you just feel sleepy all day? Today is one of days for me. A holiday, constant heavy rain, cooler temperatures and dark and gloomy. I slept in this morning so I should be well rested but I’m just feeling sluggish. On days like this when you have things to do it’s…
365-246 Urban shots on a hot day
Yikes, it was around 100ºF outside today. I started the day trying to relax and doing a little shopping and lunch with my wife. After a late lunch, since we were in the area, I thought to take a quick ride through the Oakland area of Pittsburgh. Home of Schenley Park, Carnegie Museum and Library, Carnegie-Mellon University and the University of…
365-239 Around the block
All of these photos were taken during a walk around a single block in a neighboring town. I first spotted the boat and parked to take a picture. Afterwards, looking at the old buildings, I thought I would look around for further subject matter. Who knew I would find a gorilla? All Pentax K20D, DA17-70. Click on pics for larger…
365-235 Two of each
Another day of watching my truck repair bill climb. Sigh. So with everything so crazy you just have to laugh and relax. That calls for lunch with my wife on the southside of Pittsburgh. After lunch on such a fine day, we enjoyed a little stroll and, of course, I took a few pictures. I have a couple of color…
365-234 Shoot something
I am glad I took this shot today. Like oftentimes, I take a photo just to experiment or see if it works for something with the intentions of shooting something else later. Just like those other times, later never comes. I had plans to go check out some sights after work but I call that my truck was done getting…
365-232 I swear it’s unintentional
The past few days I have been posting warm toned images. The textured shots were very brownish, yesterdays bicycles were copper toned and today I have an ambrotype toned image. I never really planned any of those ahead of time, it just happened. Todays 365 blimp shot just cried out for an old-time look. The lantern photo just looked good in sepia. The…
365-231 Wheels
I often take photos of old cars because, well, I like them. Not nicely restored cars at a show but old, aged, weathered cars. There is something about the lines of old automobiles that I find interesting mixed with the patina of years of neglect. But I came across an even earlier form of transportation today for my 365 photo.…
365-230 Relax
After my vehicle fiasco yesterday and finding out what the monetary damage ($!!!) is today, I thought it best to take things in stride. After securing a rental vehicle and taking care of business with my employer, it was nice to visit a small park and enjoy the nature a little. A nice calming effect. With todays 365 photo I went…
