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!

Guitar$

Just wanted to give a shout out to a good friend and all around nice guy, Vic DaPra. Vic had a signing at his guitar shop, Guitar Gallery, for his new book, “Burst Believers“, this past Saturday. His book is a superb reference guide for the 1958-60 Gibson Les Paul sunburst guitar. But, to add to the party, he also had on…

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 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…

Sunday evening post

I just kind of realized that I have been posting almost regularly on Sunday evenings. If there one thing I cannot say about my work, it’s consistency. So having something that is somewhat dependable is nice, I imagine, at least from an artistic standpoint. It’s too bad I don’t have much to say this evening. 🙂 So I’ll leave you…

As promised

Here are the fountain shots that I took last weekend and mentioned in my last post. These are the photos that made me decide to go back to my “abnormal” thinking.

Changing

I want to change the way I shoot. I spent almost a whole day in the city of Pittsburgh on Friday and this is my favorite shot of the day. I like the strong shadows as the skateboarder tried numerous attempts. Not much, I know but at least it has some kind of vision. And I know the reason why.…

Just my imagination running away with me

I’ve been finding myself wandering too much lately when it comes to photography. I am caught up in this attempt to create a fantastic photo, head out to create that photo, and end up finding myself disappointed at the end of the day. I am thinking too much. Way too much. I think I have a great location planned where I’ll…
