I had this idea to take this bride and groom photo that I shot while walking around Pittsburgh last weekend and add a Furry head to the groom. I looked in my files of Furries street shots to find just the right head at the right angle and came across this goat-like thing. That was the easy part. My Photoshop…

Found still lifes, No.4
Clearly this egg was a natural for a still life. It was located in a store that seems to specialize in kitschy 60’s furniture and décor. The color it reflected was nice but I liked the simplicity of the black and white, which eliminated a few distracting elements. I added a little grain to soften the mood a little.
Found still lifes No. 3
Bottles and vases are always good for a still life photos and this setup was no exception. I’m not too thrilled about the lens flare but maybe it enhances the southwest feel of the late afternoon sunlight which was streaming through the window to the right. Muted color and texture were combined to create this simple composition. Shooting through a…
Found still lifes, No.2
Continuing on with my antique store window “shopping”, I liked the science fiction look of this lamp. It was in a corner glass window so I was able to shoot through one window and catch the afternoon sunlight through the other. Color was OK but I think a texturized, toned black and white treatment worked good here. Almost waiting for…
Found still lifes, No. 1
Regular readers will know that I like to shoot objects in the windows of antique stores. I find these “found still lifes” amusing. Most items are just sitting in the windows, it doesn’t appear that any attempt at a display is made, at least at the shops I visit. But the sometimes unusual items and the juxtaposition with each other…
A fur to remember
When the annual Anthrocon Convention is in Pittsburgh, you can be sure furry hijinks will ensue!! It’s always fun on the 4th of July weekend to go downtown and watch the furry fun. It’s too bad I am the worlds worst street photographer. Gear that I use for my normal stationary subjects photography gives me a hard time when trying to…
No surprise
It’s Independence Day in the USA, or as better known, the Fourth of July. With that comes picnics, hotdogs, partying , some flag waving, and, of course, fireworks!! A totally unoriginal shot for today but, eh, it’s a holiday and I didn’t want to break up the theme. a real live fireworks photo taken just moments ago. Display courtesy of the…
It’s that time
With the summer weather finally upon us I will be taking to some time to get some things done at the house and, of course, taking a holiday or two. I plan on doing some shooting whenever I can fit it in but I don’t know how often I’ll be posting – could be hit or miss. I may throw…
Branching out with buildings
In my ever-changing mind I thought I would try some straight up building shots for something different. I was thinking black and white right from the get-go and the late afternoon sky and light really enhanced the scenes. I basically just walked around looking for different perspectives than I normally would. Normally my eyes are on the ground looking for…
As I was saying
A different shot from yesterday. This is why I don’t do too much “street” photography. Not good with the people pics. But I do like the colors here (that cool/warm thing) so that’s why I’m showing it. But I think I’ll just move along….
