Abstract detail of the Alcoa Building in Pittsburgh. This was beside the bridge from the last post. This was an awkward angle but it seemed to work better than others. I enjoy this type of work and don’t get to perform it as much as I like.

Knitting a bridge
Although it didn’t quite look how I imagined when I heard that the Andy Warhol Bridge was being covered in yarn, it still was a cool site to see. And feel, since the railing along the walkway was also yarn wrapped. Yarn bombing, they call it. Either way, I do like these large scale urban art projects. They really boost spirits…
A fair post
It’s county fair time and I got to the setup day a little late. I usually like to walk around the fairgrounds on the setup day to snap a few photos while there’s very little people around. It allows me to focus on the color and vintage details without the clutter of hundreds of people getting in the way. But…
Contraption
These hunting tree stands are very prominent around the rural areas where I work. They range in style from small, manufactured generic ones to elaborate homemade versions, like the one pictured here. They all seem a little sketchy to me, from a safety standpoint. But I guess the idea is once you are in one you are not going to…
Sums it up
This has been a very wet summer so far. It seems almost every day the clouds roll in and it rains, mostly in the form of a storm. Meanwhile the other side of the country is experiencing drought-like conditions. Somewhere in the USA, I imagine, the weather is being nice this summer. Maybe in Hawaii? Sounds like a good idea. This,…
One thing about rural life
They know how to extend the use of something. Broke down car? How about using it for a shed or dumpster!
Toadworks
It was a pleasant surprise to open a container at work and find this little guy sitting on a pipe. At only 2-3″ he didn’t take up much room and certainly wasn’t in the way. I thought the orange background was different enough from the usual toad photos to grab a portrait. He posed for a short while but eventually got nervous…
A tiger and a dragon walk into a bar…
Just a continuation of yesterdays post. This time in color!!
A fox and a rabbit walk into a bar…
And that could possibly happen when the Anthrocon convention is in Pittsburgh. It has become an annual summer treat to see all of the furry critters and other “characters” walking around. Their convention is serious business for them but a bit of a spectacle for the rest of us. But they seem to enjoy Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh enjoys them. I know all…
Let’s talk texture
I hope everyone in the USA had a safe and happy Independence Day. Hopefully if you are a working person, like myself, you were able to turn it into a four-day summer weekend! Back to the photos. I received a new Pentax K-5 IIs camera on Wednesday evening that I have been wanting to try out. I wanted to try it…
