I hope the viewers who have enjoyed my flower photos don’t feel alienated as I go about my 365 adventure. Flowers and nature are just a small part of what I like to photograph. As I have mentioned in the past, I can’t really nail exactly what my photographic style is. I know I don’t fit exclusively in standard categories like…

365-272 The pressures of fame
As if it wasn’t enough pressure to come up with a somewhat interesting photo every day, with my blog being featured on WordPress Freshly Pressed today I feel like the spotlight is on me now. I was at work and decided to check my emails on my phone and noticed a large number of notification emails about my blog. So using my handy WordPress…
365-270 No rush
Although there are signs that the seasons are changing, it will still be about another month before it really looks like autumn around here. I hope I can do the season justice in the coming weeks. Last year, I had some camera gear in for service right at the peak time and it was tough to watch the colors go…
365-268 Yeah, so it’s my birthday
It’s also my wife’s birthday, so that makes for a nice day together! I had another day off of work, which was sort of unexpected. Good thing too, because my lawn was way overdue for a mowing. Ooh, fun stuff. Happy birthday! We did get to have dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant though and on the way spotted this industrial building…
365-267 A day off
Today was my first actual day off in a couple of weeks. So after waking up about noon, I realized I would be visiting someplace local again for my 365 photo. I travel a lot during work so I didn’t want to venture too far from home today. As the afternoon wore on I didn’t have a photo yet so I…
365-264 Keep on truckin’
I know I just did photos of an old truck the other day, but I stumbled upon another today and couldn’t resist. I was slightly ahead of schedule this morning and thought I would swing through a small town right off of the interstate. Even though I haven’t been through the town of West Alexander, Pennsylvania in probably close to 20 years, I…
365-263 Architecture – more or less
I love taking photos of architecture. Not so much shooting a whole building but finding details and abstracts within the design that may go un-noticed to passersby. Modern designs work great for black and white abstracts when working with their sleek minimalist lines. Old buildings offer lots of detail, the more weathered the better, especially for color work. I like…
365-261 Challenged
For the next week or so I am going to be on a work project basically from dark to dark. It’s going to be a challenge to come up with somewhat interesting photos every day without too much repetition. Bear with me, it could be a bumpy ride! Speaking of challenges, my photo subject today looks like he’s ready for…
365-260 Scenes from a blue truck
I’m beat from the week, so I’m going to keep the chatter to a minimum tonight. This is a blue truck that was on a project I am on. Of course, being old and worn (the truck, not me), I was immediately attracted to it. I tried to keep some consistency to the processing of the series for a change.…
365-258 Re-cycling
Nitro, West Virginia is a long narrow town nestled in a river valley. Besides the industrial areas it’s only a few blocks wide and a few miles long. One thing I noticed when driving through over the past few months was a number of folks getting around on old vintage bicycles. The town is relatively flat with plenty of low…
