It starts with the feel

With the warmer temperatures the past few days, it at least feels like spring. Feels is all we have so far, because it still looks like a warm day in February. But I’ll take it. It’s still a step in the right direction. With a few days off from work and some intermittent remodeling work inside the house aside, I had…

It’s what you make of it, I guess

Although this photo would most likely fall into the “abstract” category, I’m not really sure it is. Abstract, to me, means either a study in lines, tones, shadows, textures, etc. where the “subject” (if there is one) is not easily recognizable. An altered look at reality, as it were. According to my favorite (and totally correct ;-)) reference site, Wikipedia, abstract is ‘a visual…

Trickle down theory

I believe the decline in visitors to this site is coinciding with my lack of input. It’s totally understandable because I seriously have done nothing to increase the traffic. I haven’t been perusing other blogs as much as I should because it seems like I don’t have the time to do everything that I would like to do. I have great…

For fun’s sake

Since ol’ man winter is still hanging around this year and more snow is coming tonight I thought I would look into my files to see what last year looked like at this time. I found that I had a lot of photos of spring blossoms and flowers that are nowhere to be seen this year. In a related note, while…

Not far from the hole

Back on February 2nd, the groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, said spring was around the corner. Well it IS spring and it still feels like winter. Considering I don’t live too far from his “hole”, I have to say that varmint doesn’t know what he is talking (talking?) about! Other than that, I have been well and waiting for the transformation into…

We-eeell, I can’t quit you, baby, But I got to put you down a little while

To quote the late great Willie Dixon I think I’m going to take a little break from the blog and photography for a week or two. I just need to spend some time catching up on things like my guitar playing, some reading, research, work on the house, etc. Maybe even sit down and watch a movie or two. It’s…

Really? Has it been a week?

Wow, time flies when you’re not posting! I haven’t posted in a week mostly because I haven’t taken any photographs. A few snaps here and there but not much of any value. And I am not really sure if this photo is any value but I do like the scene. The colors in the original were all muted, basically a…

It was a day in September

I’ve been gradually cleaning my files out over the past week, getting rid of a lot of junk photos that were just taking up space. I do a lot of test shots when I get new gear and after using them for evaluation, they don’t really serve a need any longer, yet I always forget to delete them. So on occasion…

Classic?

I don’t know what a half drunk case of Classic Coke has to do with antiques, but there it was!
