365-361 Take a bad shot…

…and make it badder. My apologies to the Beatles This is really a grab shot. Taken out of my windshield while driving through town.  It was incredibly dark and raining constantly all day which thwarted me from going on any photo journeys. I did go out to run some errands though and took a quick spin through town to see if I…

365-360 Counting down

It’s hard to believe I only have 5 more pictures to finish my 365. Seems like only….a year, since I started. 😉 Since I’m still on my holiday mental down time, I again didn’t put much effort into finding a photo today. But as the sun began to set, I thought it would be a good time to take a…

365-359 Cheers!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everybody! A Christmas Toast

365-358 Holiday displays

While finishing up some last minute shopping today I swung by my employer’s office to drop some things off, since I was in the area. The office is located in a small urban area that offers some unique photo subjects. Since my wife and I had things to do I couldn’t explore too much but I saw a window display in a small music shop…

365-357 Happy holidays

My first day off of work before Christmas and I spent most of it sitting in traffic near the malls! Throw in a dark and gloomy rainy day and I couldn’t even take a decent picture if I tried. And I didn’t try. After sleeping in way too late and then trying to get around town for some errands before hitting…

365-356 Have a drink on me

I had an unexpected work assignment in Wheeling today and on my way there I swung by the small town of West Alexander. I had visited the town previously for photos and I can usually find something of interest there. Although the old houses were nicely decorated for Christmas, I at first was going to get some architecture shots but instead I focused on an old gas…

365-355 kiss

I’m keeping it simple today, both photographically and in text. It’s just one of those kind of days. As usual I took a variety of photos today but most of them were just test shots with my lens that just came back from repair. It works fine but it was tough to take anything worthwhile today, being dark and rainy…

365-354 It’s a mystery

I took some photos of raindrops today. I took a LOT of photos of raindrops today. It rained all day, so naturally that was the subject of the day…..until. Until I saw this little figurine in a small pile of trash mixed in with some dirt in the landfill. It was bright yellow and easily caught my eye amongst the brown…

365-353 Stop making sense

I’m feeling relaxed. With my 365 winding down and the holiday season upon us, I’ve decided to just relax. I’m still on the job site for a few more days and I’ve been pressuring myself the past few weeks to come up with interesting photos within my limited world, but I realized I was being too hard on myself.  I had the…

365-352 Dead leaves and the dirty ground

The White Stripes – “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground” Now for my version. We had a little snow yesterday and I noticed the wet dead leaves in my yard this morning. I like the rich brown color and textures. Too bad I don’t own a proper macro lens because it would have been nice to get even closer to…
