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…

Back alley bonanza
A box of well weathered gourds seen in a back alley on the South Side.
Lay dying
A few of the old broken tombstones at the Trinity Episcopal Cathedral located in downtown Pittsburgh. I decided to keep them simple with a straightforward black and white conversion. Nothing fancy today.
Bibokehcycle
Just a couple of shots of a colorful bicycle I spotted while walking around the Southside today. Speaking of “bokeh”, I do like to throw the word around on occasion, and so do many others. I don’t want to try to define the word because there have been many discussions about the topic all over the web, but I think the…
More river time
Another shot from down by the river. Although I never set out to take bird-duck-geese photos, whenever I see them I want to take photos of them for some reason. And the photos are fairly straightforward shots – the kind you get by simply taking snapshots, not sitting in a blind all day with a super-telephoto lens. Mine are more like the…
Insta-style
I finally got out to take some actual photos yesterday. A nice sunny but cold winters day off from work. It’s been so dark and gloomy every time I had a camera in my hands lately, so it was nice to shoot away without worrying about slow shutter speeds. Unfortunately my creativity didn’t kick in and I ended up taking…
Why not?
I know I said I wasn’t going to post until after Christmas but I don’t believe I can use this photo for any other day. I shot the photo in downtown Pittsburgh Sunday night and after viewing it I thought it would be a great candidate for a snow texture that I downloaded just the other day, especially since the…
Hmm, I got nothin’
So how about we spice it up with a taste of spice. I don’t have much to add to this photo except that I kind of like it. I like the warm colors and I like the circles. Circles are cool – when you can find them. Hey, what the hey, I may as well throw in a few…
Had to get out of the rain
Day number 6 of rain on my vacation so I thought a nice diversion would be to visit the Phipps Conservatory and enjoy a little color….while staying dry of course. The tropical “rain” forest wasn’t too inviting 😉 but all in all it was a nice place to enjoy some different scenery and exotic plant life. Photography-wise I just took the…
I know this is a blog
I know the main purpose of a blog is writing. People like to read blogs. Even if it’s a photography oriented blog you are supposed to write about the photo – the technique behind it, the gear used, or the story of how you took it or something about the subject matter. But honestly, I am just totally tapped out on the writing…
