365-362 Old haunts

Apparently I’m still on my mental vacation because I’m still not putting any effort into shooting. I’ve been relying on my processing a little too much to help carry me through the past few days, mostly because what I did shoot has been lame, at best. Today, I had to go out and buy a wireless router because I’ve finally…

365-361 Take a bad shot…

…and make it badder. My apologies to the Beatles This is really a grab shot. Taken out of my windshield while driving through town.  It was incredibly dark and raining constantly all day which thwarted me from going on any photo journeys. I did go out to run some errands though and took a quick spin through town to see if I…

365-360 Counting down

It’s hard to believe I only have 5 more pictures to finish my 365. Seems like only….a year, since I started. 😉 Since I’m still on my holiday mental down time, I again didn’t put much effort into finding a photo today. But as the sun began to set, I thought it would be a good time to take a…

365-359 Cheers!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everybody! A Christmas Toast

365-358 Holiday displays

While finishing up some last minute shopping today I swung by my employer’s office to drop some things off, since I was in the area. The office is located in a small urban area that offers some unique photo subjects. Since my wife and I had things to do I couldn’t explore too much but I saw a window display in a small music shop…

365-356 Have a drink on me

I had an unexpected work assignment in Wheeling today and on my way there I swung by the small town of West Alexander. I had visited the town previously for photos and I can usually find something of interest there. Although the old houses were nicely decorated for Christmas, I at first was going to get some architecture shots but instead I focused on an old gas…

365-355 kiss

I’m keeping it simple today, both photographically and in text. It’s just one of those kind of days. As usual I took a variety of photos today but most of them were just test shots with my lens that just came back from repair. It works fine but it was tough to take anything worthwhile today, being dark and rainy…

365-351 If you don’t try

These photos are the best I could do today. Let me rephrase that – the best I could do with what I did. I didn’t get around to taking a photo until late today. No big deal, it was just a holiday thing, running around doing errands with my wife, shopping, a late lunch, and in general having a nice…

365-350 Say, can I have some of your purple berries?

Yes, I’ve been eating them for six or seven weeks now, haven’t got sick once. Probably keep us both alive. “Wooden Ships” by Crosby, Stills, and Nash is perhaps one of my favorite songs. I don’t know what is about it but I’ve always liked it since I first heard it as a teenager. Maybe because it’s mysterious and so different…

365-349 Rural portraits

Unlike the portraits I took a while ago for 365-129, I didn’t have a nice sunny spring day to work with. It was dark and rainy today so I couldn’t fudge too much on exposure. I just set the ISo at 800 and left the lens at f/5.6 and drove through the same area as those previous shots hoping to…
