Since my last post went over like a lead balloon, I guess I have no choice but to continue posting. Eventually I’ll get it right. Of course some interesting photography would help but, alas, I have none. I am not worried, I shall prevail and soon I will be gracing these pages with works of the highest caliber. Until then, please enjoy…

Forms
I wasn’t planning on posting anything today, mainly because I really haven’t been shooting anything of substance lately. But with a wild weekend planned of working on my house I thought I should put something up because it may be a while before I get to explore any photographic avenues. These are some old pipes near a work site that…
A sign
Well, an old one, for a classic beverage. Seen on the side of a very old and crooked barn. Nothing fancy, I just liked the colors and weathered look of it all.
More dry things
May as well stick with a theme for a couple posts! I got to take some photos of an old house I discovered in a nearby town and this is one of the detail shots. I saw the house a few months ago and finally decided to take the drive and get a few shots of it.
Down on the tracks
In my continuing gear test, I thought I would revisit the train tracks not too far from where I live. I know that there is a ton of detail on the old box cars that sit idle on the tracks. Things don’t change much there and I shot the same cars last year for a couple of posts, but I can always…
Just posting Vol. 1
I honestly haven’t been spending much time shooting lately and I feel a little bad about it. I’ve been focusing on my house and assorted other life things so I haven’t really had the time to just go out and take photos. Oh I take my camera with me as much as possible because, you know, “just in case” but as…
Missing an element?
I’ve passed this old farmhouse a few times and even managed to grab a photo of it in the past. I liked the old warmth of it and would love to get closer to take detail shots. I don’t think it’s inhabited and I don’t want to simply trespass, so I’m holding out hope that some time when I drive…
Impressions in the cemetery
I don’t know what draws me to the cemetery but I like to visit it more often than I should – to look for photos, of course. I do like the details and textures that are abundant, especially in the older graves and tombs. There is also wildlife and plants and trees to add to the mix. When I have…
Buildings and angles in black and white
While walking around in Wheeling, West Virginia the other day, I snapped a number of photos of the local architecture. Most of my shots were from ground level while looking up. Not exactly the best way to do architectural studies. Be that as it may, I wasn’t equipped with a telephoto to zoom in on the details from afar or…
Finally, a sign……..(and another sign)
Today I drove through a town that I haven’t been to before. A small, nice looking town that looked like it had a lot of photo possibilities within it but, unfortunately, I didn’t have the time today to explore. It’s a few hours away from where I live so I may return on my own time some day. After spotting…
