Today was a trying and emotional day and I’m still feeling a little down. I don’t like to talk about my personal life much online but I’m going into the fifth month of being layed off from my job. This is after being layed off last year for 5 months and only 7 months work in between. The financial toll on my…

365-116 Monet, Monet
Rainstorms. A common occurrence of late. And again today I found myself waiting out a downpour while sitting in my car. Fortunately, I was parked next to a forsythia shrub and I noticed the yellow flowers and bright green leaves. Shooting through my rain drenched windows, I shot a few photos trying for an abstract or impressionistic look. Some shots had…
365-115 A new look
If you’re a regular visitor then you probably noticed the new look to my blog. The last theme was functional but the frilly design kind of bugged me. I went back to a simple straightforward more serious look. In the next few days I may change a few things around but I think I’ll stay with this layout since I do want…
365-113 Green acres
Just a simple pastoral scene today. The sheep kept running away from me no matter where I went. I was on the side of a fairly busy rural road and the cars fly by fast, so I had hesitations on shooting and worked quick. Not the photo I had in my head when I was shooting but it’s OK, I…
365-112 I’ll go easy on you today
I won’t do any rambling story on the photo background today. No reason, just don’t have much to say. So, until tomorrow, enjoy! Two Blue Doors
365-111 De-dazzler
After being dazzled by spring color and flowers the past few days, I thought I would try going back to my usual subjects. What are my usual subjects? Looking at my past work, I have no idea! In a way, I like that though. I’m not constrained by visual boundaries I set on myself. Free to shoot whatever, however. All…
365-109 Too many categories
I took a variety of photos today and I’m kind of all over the place with them. I first took a few photos of my neighbors tulips. They were nice shots of pretty flowers but nothing special. I then saw some large raindrops on the leaves and I knew that it would make a nice black and white photo. I…
365-108 Postcards from the edge
Whew, it’s tough thinking of catchy post titles :-). Another postcard image for today. A spring scene I saw while driving through town. The tree caught my eye first and when I saw the flowers I knew I had to get a shot. I drove around the block and came down the road alongside the house. I was able to shoot…
365-107 A few from around town
Took a drive around town (as usual) and took a few shots. Again, nothing overly creative but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless. My 365 shot is at Washington and Jefferson College campus. It’s part of my quest to find spring color. The black and white is at the town park. You can see why I zoomed through there! The…
365-106 When there’s nothing to shoot…
…you shoot nothing. The lighting this afternoon was incredible. After the rain cleared there were still dramatic clouds and coupled with the late afternoon sun it was simply beautiful. That would all be cool if I lived in the shadows of a nice mountain range or the desert southwest and I could capture some sweeping landscape shot. Instead I was…
