I can’t explain much about this photo other than I took it through the window of an old storefront in Wheeling. It was in a large building and touted itself as an antiques store but it just looked like a bunch of useless junk sitting in an old warehouse. I think it was still in business, or at least recently…

Be afraid
OK, not really. But since it is getting near the Halloween season, who can’t resist some creepy graveyard photos? Well, they may not be too creepy but they fit the mood. I actually took these photos a year ago on this day along with about a gazillion other subjects. I certainly was on a roll that day, unlike this year…
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 one-two punch and I’m back
It’s been a while since I’ve posted and I thought I would give an update on where I’ve been. I visited a doctor about the pain I talked about last time. Tests came back negative and it ended up being some type flu bug. Soon after those symptoms went away. However I still had pain in my shins and it…
Hoop Dreams II (only a year late)
Worked in the office today and I didn’t get to take any new photos. So, out of curiosity, I looked in my files to see what I shot on this day last year. I found this shot and I never really did anything with it. I chose a different shot from that day for my 365 project (365-250) and I…
Steps and doors
A little black and white study in angles taken while on a walk around an urban neighborhood. These photos were taken at separate parts of the journey yet I feel that they belong together. Processed in NIk Silver Efex with a higher contrast to emphasize the geometric shapes.
I don’t have a cat
I had a whole diatribe planned on how folks buy a Nikon D800 or equivalent camera along with an equally expensive lens only to take pictures of their cat, but I decided not to. It’s a holiday here in the USA and I don’t want to be a sour “puss” 🙂 So here is a cat photo that I took yesterday. My…
Off to Seville?
I’m just getting over a nasty fever from last night, so I’ll keep it short. Just one of my pics from the past week. I don’t have much else to add today other than I wish I had paid a little more attention when I shot this. The shutter speed was a little low and it’s not as sharp as…
Numbers game
I got to walk around some old Victorian townhouses today in one of my favorite cities to explore – Wheeling, West Virginia. I’ve posted a number of architectural shots here on my blog in the past that were taken in or around Wheeling as I find it a fascinating and approachable city. It has a rich history and there are a…
Woodsy
A little diversion from the carnival and into the woods of West Virginia. Just a lot of trees there.
