…it’s because either I couldn’t find anything to shoot at all or it was a long, busy day and I really didn’t have the energy to try to find a better shot. Today was more of the latter. I shot the grasses towards the end of the day, just fooling around basically, and thought I would go out after I…

365-213 The other side of the landfill
As a response to my earlier landfill nature post (365-207), I thought I would show some slightly different landfill photos. I’m on a different site than the one from last week that’s not as “woodsy” as that one. There may be some nature around but I didn’t get a chance to explore the site much. Sorry about my 365 shot being…
365-212 Primary colors
With all of the running I’ve been doing this week it finally caught up to me. A little tired today, so, with the exception of doing a few errands for the coming week, I really didn’t feel like doing much today. The lawn is ugly because of all of the hot weather but I think it can survive another week…
365-211 Tal Farlow was a sign painter
Besides being an accomplished jazz guitarist, Tal Farlow retired to New Jersey to be a sign painter in the late 1950’s. He was as good a painter as he was a guitarist and can be seen in action doing both in the excellent documentary, “Talmage Farlow“. I am sure he was better at spelling than whoever painted this sign! Pentax K20D, DA 55-300.…
365-206 Stranger in a strange land
So I am working out of town for a few more days and I’m having a tough time with my photography. I don’t know what it is but I’m not really happy with the direction it has been going the last few days (weeks?). I thought it would help being in a different city but so far it has been a…
365-205 Still in B&W
The past few days I have been liking the black and white versions of my 365 photos better than the color. I try to like color in most of my shots but if the color isn’t really a main component to the image, I feel that black and white enhances the elements of the photo better, especially when it comes…
365-204 A humanoid day
So I was driving through town and spotted yet another protest dummy sitting on a wall. This time at the local newspaper office. I shot a portion of a dummy before (365-164) at another location but I couldn’t figure out what the purpose was. Well today I discovered, from what I read on the dummy, it is an anti smoking demonstration.…
365-200 One mans treasure
Whoa..200th photo! Although my 365 project is pushing me to new heights (and lows), I really can’t wait until it’s over, at least from my blog perspective. I feel like I am punishing my subscribers with daily emails about my posts of questionable interest. Next year I will only post on occasion when I have a nice selection of very…
365-199 Wetlands by the mall
Wetlands. Swamp. Whatever. I took these photos on the edge of a mall parking lot while waiting for my truck being repaired. I don’t really have much else to add. All with Pentax K20D and Super-Takumar 50mm. Simple as that! Enjoy. Click on pics for larger view Grass
365-198 A Volvo P1800E
It’s still the weekend so I’ll just focus on one subject today. I spotted an old Volvo P1800 in a dealers lot the other day and today I thought I would try to get a few shots of it. I just stuck with my DA 17-70 lens with a polarizer on my Pentax K20D and walked around the car. I focused on details…
