I’m taking a few days off for the holidays and I want to thank all of my readers for stopping by this year. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll continue with this blog as I am looking into other ventures but I’ll stick it out for a little while at least. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!!

Hat trick and then some. Black & White Magazine selection.
For the third year in a row: I am happy to report that two of my images were selected for the Black & White Magazine 2015 Single image Contest Issue No. 107 available at better newsstands now. “Can’t Wait” was selected for the Architecture/Interiors category. “Floating Sticks” was a Peoples Choice winner in the “Pattern/Texture” category. There is only one…
Back to school
I’ve posted photos of this old schoolhouse before but I had a chance recently to explore it a little more. Plus I had my Eos M camera with the 11-22 lens on me and I wanted the chance to shoot at a wider angle than I have in the past. Beyond that there’s not much else to say. The interior…
I see the snow has returned
The WordPress snow at least. It doesn’t bother me like it does some, and it’s only around for a month or so anyway. We all know that I don’t take myself seriously enough to think the “snow” is distracting from the importance of my blog. π I’m still climbing the ladders of success though and I’ll soon make yet another…
Nothing new, just some cliches
Sunrise, sunset. Doesn’t get any more clichΓ© than that when it comes to photo subjects. But I like ’em anyway! π Some recent shots from Miami.
I need more balls
Monkey balls, that is. It seems like this is a banner year for monkey balls, or hedge apples, bowwood, bois d’arc (French for “wood of the bow”), bodark, geelhout, mock orange, horse apple, naranjo chino, wild orange and yellow-wood. Offficially the Osage orange tree, has been quite noticeable for me this year as I drive around the rural regions of…
Night fever
Sticking with the southern exposure photography. I know this work isn’t very creative but I don’t have anything else to show at the moment and I’ll have to get creative through the winter, so there’s still a chance. π Here are few low light photos that just ooze with color. I’m thinking they are a nice change from my black…
The pause that refreshes
I was on a much-needed vacation getaway last week to pause and refresh. A little trip down to Miami to get one last blast of summer before facing the dreaded winter in Pennsylvania. It was just that, a vacation with my wife, and I tried my best to keep photography to a minimum. I even kept my DSLR at home…
Old and not in the way
That’s the way I feel about old abandoned rural buildings. I want them to stay standing as long as possible. Old barns are as simple as a building can be yet there is a timeless quality about them that a new pre-fab steel building can never have. I feel the same about urban buildings if they have some character or…
Happy Halloween
Not sure if it’s a “happy” holiday anymore because it definitely has taken a turn towards the grisly. Even a clown costume has to be “evil”. So, in that spirit I present my Halloween theme photo:Β A sparkly skull!
