I spotted these graffiti ghost a few weeks ago and thought I would like to get a photo of them. Unfortunately every time I am in the area it’s usually the middle of the day. I shot this photo close to high noon, not the best time of day for photography. The ideal time would have been very or morning…

Enchanting camper
When I originally spotted this camper, I was drawn to its aqua blue trim along the top, in addition to its condition and placement within the scene. And it does, in fact, make a nice color photo as the wooded area is a nice bright green. But after processing, I began to think that it would do well as a black and white…
Looking at a wall
I don’t have much to discuss about this photo – I simply liked the textures and color combinations. This was taken the other night when I was looking around in the antique store windows. I took a spin around the block to walk through the alley when I noticed the green “stacked” doors. I thought they looked interesting and I…
How low can you key?
It’s not too often that I come across a scene that would make a good low-key image, so I was happy to spot this one. I was in Pittsburgh and was simply taking a walk with my wife on a beautiful spring day. The area we were at has shopping and restaurants so there isn’t too much to shoot as far…
Bend it like Escher
He who wonders discovers that this in itself is wonder. – M. C. Escher OK, this doesn’t quite look like an Escher drawing, but that’s what shiny globe reflections always remind me of. I shot this while wandering past some antique shops in a nearby town where I can usually find interesting objects to shoot that are displayed in the…
Seriously? More blossoms? Yes, in the pink!
I hate to bore you with more spring blossom photos but I saw these today and thought that my southern hemisphere readers might enjoy them. I didn’t set out to take any spring pictures today but I was taking some architecture photos in town today, just trying out the Olympus camera some more, and spotted this flowering tree near the county courthouse.…
Wide appeal
As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been looking for a smaller travel camera that can still deliver quality photos, and I’ve thought of trying the Olympus E-PM1. I have used one before and have published photos here that I thought looked pretty good. I still need to make some large prints to see how they look but,…
Back to the blues
I don’t have a whole lot to say about this photo. It’s just one of those things you spot while you’re out and about and think that it may be worth getting a shot of. One of those things that just catches your eye, for some reason. The reason here, of course, is the abundance of blue. Plus the fact…
Small signs of spring (No blues for the blues)
Considering this is the middle of March in Pennsylvania, the weather has been incredibly warm the past week. The forecast for the next week calls for more of the same, so one can’t help but think spring. Even though it technically becomes spring this week, I just hope nothing happens, like a freak snowstorm in April, to destroy the mood. One…
Got wood?
A couple of earthy, woody shots for today. I don’t think I’ll win any composition awards with these but I liked the general warmth of the photos. I processed the photos with a warming filter, which basically steers the color balance towards yellow. It’s a bit of an extreme shift, and one that wouldn’t work well in a lot of situations, but I think it…
