Speaking of small cars, the most iconic of all time is probably the VW Beetle. At least I think so. This photo is no where near what I wanted to shoot at this VW graveyard. My boss spotted it when we were traveling one day and I thought it was a cool enough place to return for some photography, since I…

Simple
Since I am taking a bit of a holiday, I thought I would dig into the archives and pull out one of my favorite images from a few years back. Why is it a favorite? I have no idea. I just always liked it. It was taken near an old quarry and I guess these are temporary power poles. Like most…
Old vehicles in black and white
Just a few roadside finds from the weekend. Nothing much in the way of interesting subject matter but it gave me a chance to work on my B&W processing skills. Old junk cars look good in black and white. The only thing I don’t like about this first photo is the newish garage doors in the background. Kind of the…
Sign at the stop sign
Regular readers know that I like to document old weathered structures and details. I especially like to shoot them because I think they go unnoticed most of the time and I feel it is my duty 🙂 to show people the beauty that lies within the old structures that they pass by all of the time. One bit of Americana…
A grave decision
I have been a little heavy on the black and white lately so I decided some color pics would be nice. And what’s more colorful than flowers? Astute readers may note that there are graves in the photos and are probably thinking, “geesh, is that guy in the cemetery again?” Well, not really. I was in Columbus for a vintage guitar…
3 days down (visiting Dawes Arboretum)
I got hit with another cold/fever for the second time in a month. That’s highly unusual for me as I rarely get sick that often. Last months illness only lasted for about 36 hours, but his time around was a little heavier and knocked me down for the past three days. With another week to go before I start my new…
365-156 Just playin’ around
I saw this cherub figurine in a gift shop window and snapped a shot. I only took the one shot and didn’t think much of it when I did. The straight shot was decent enough but I thought I would throw a little processing fun in the works for a change. In Photoshop, I Did a Topaz Adjust layer and…
A few extra shots from yesterday – Dawes Arboretum
As promised last night, here’s a few extra shots from yesterday. Like I mentioned, I had to go to Columbus, Ohio and along the way is Dawes Arboretum. I didn’t have too much time to spend there but I made a detour to check it out and see what was available to shoot. This early in the year, I didn’t…
365-81 Still water
I don’t come across still water reflections too often so I was thrilled to get this shot. I know the “reflecting trees shot” has been done often, and usually to better effect, but it was fun to try. I had to go to Columbus on business today so I swung by Dawes Arboretum to see what was there. I didn’t expect much…
