It turned out to be a decent day today, so my wife and I decided to take a little walk after lunch. Since the streets around our house are heavy with traffic and we didn’t want to travel far, we decided to take a walk in the city park. Yeah, the same one I talked about in previous posts. The…

365-137 Chasing pavement
This parking lot is near a bank I use. It belongs to a once thriving steel mill that was a major employer in town. It has long been closed although a steel company owns it and I think a few people work there to a degree. Probably just used as a warehouse or something. There once were a few thriving…
365-134 The street artist
This storefront used to be a radio and electronics store. I remember buying tubes for my guitar amplifier there back in the early eighties. Had I known better at the time I would have bought out his whole inventory of tubes because NOS (New Old Stock) USA made tubes go for a hefty sum today because of availability and the TONE that…
325-126 All about texture
I’m kind of running out of time tonight so I’ll keep the text short. I did my usual ride around town again and although not looking for anything in particular, I found textures more than anything. My 365 shot is just an odd sight on the side of an old building downtown. What the purpose is I have no idea but…
365-125 Times toll
I finally got around to shooting that machinery I mentioned a couple of days ago. I tried twice before to shoot an abstract but the light level was just too low to work with. Today was certainly brighter and nicer than it has been of late. The machinery is in a shady area so I still was on the edge of being able to…
365-124 Cemetery Part 1
One of those days again where I didn’t get out until late. The town is looking uninspiring lately and the lighting was drab anyhow so I cruised through the cemetery again to find some textures and details. I’ll add some more tomorrow when I have more time. Adios. Waves
365-120 Met the quota
I can’t really say that I couldn’t find much to shoot today because I did. I shot this fence picture earlier in the day just to get something “in the can”. Good thing I did because it was pretty bleak afterwards. I wanted to find some textural or abstract shots but couldn’t find anything until the light got too low. I…
365-117 Here’s a quarter
I don’t really notice payphones much anymore. Most likely there are fewer of them around, and I do sometimes notice where some used to be. It usually looks like someone just ripped the phone away from its mounting and that’s the way it stayed – wires dangling and only a shadow of the phone remaining. I was at a gas…
365-115 A new look
If you’re a regular visitor then you probably noticed the new look to my blog. The last theme was functional but the frilly design kind of bugged me. I went back to a simple straightforward more serious look. In the next few days I may change a few things around but I think I’ll stay with this layout since I do want…
365-111 De-dazzler
After being dazzled by spring color and flowers the past few days, I thought I would try going back to my usual subjects. What are my usual subjects? Looking at my past work, I have no idea! In a way, I like that though. I’m not constrained by visual boundaries I set on myself. Free to shoot whatever, however. All…
