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…
Contraption
These hunting tree stands are very prominent around the rural areas where I work. They range in style from small, manufactured generic ones to elaborate homemade versions, like the one pictured here. They all seem a little sketchy to me, from a safety standpoint. But I guess the idea is once you are in one you are not going to…
Let’s talk texture
I hope everyone in the USA had a safe and happy Independence Day. Hopefully if you are a working person, like myself, you were able to turn it into a four-day summer weekend! Back to the photos. I received a new Pentax K-5 IIs camera on Wednesday evening that I have been wanting to try out. I wanted to try it…
Cemeteries don’t have to look morbid
I take a lot of photos in cemeteries. Besides the fact that the local cemetery is the nicest place in town, landscape wise, certainly nicer than the park, I like visiting it for all of the textures and history. When I travel I actually seek out old cemeteries, the older the better. And although I am a fan of the…
Walking, shooting….and thinking
These photos were taken while walking around Charleston, South Carolina on one rainy day. There’s something about being in a different city that puts me in tourist mode instead of photographer mode. My creativity just sinks and I end up leisurely shooting the sites. That’s not a bad thing, I guess, since the idea of the trip was just to get…
Maybe it was for the better
I was trying to think of what to post last night, thinking that I had no interesting photos from the weekend, when the power went out at my house. My house and the surrounding neighborhood, for whatever reason since it wasn’t storming and there wasn’t an accident that I was aware of. My electric flickered off and on just a few days…
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…
Another lost weekend
I actually attempted some photography this weekend. Well, attempted in the sense that I drove out to shoot, but I rarely actually pressed the shutter. The problem was I didn’t really know what I was looking for and I didn’t know where to find it. I knew it wasn’t anywhere familiar and I knew it wasn’t anything familiar. The light…
Switch it up a little
Giving everybody a break from the spring theme photos. The fact that this outhouse in the woods is at least 1,000 feet from the nearest house is a little frightening. That would be one long hard walk, especially in the middle of winter! 😉 Looks like it hasn’t been used in a while though. I didn’t dare look inside.
