While winding down from this nice long (and hot!!) holiday weekend here in the USA, I thought I would look back and see what I was shooting around the same time last year. I was in the midst of my 365 project then so I was taking photos like crazy. I wasn’t working at the time so it was easy…

How low can you key?
It’s not too often that I come across a scene that would make a good low-key image, so I was happy to spot this one. I was in Pittsburgh and was simply taking a walk with my wife on a beautiful spring day. The area we were at has shopping and restaurants so there isn’t too much to shoot as far…
Bridges
Bridges – Utah Phillips and Ani DiFranco – “The Past Didn’t Go Anywhere” In honor of a really cool song by two talented artists. I spotted this bridge while traveling around today and thought it just had something about it. I’ve been past this bridge probably hundreds of times yet it just caught my eye today. I don’t know why and I’m…
The color works…but
Yes, I’m still digging into my archives because I haven’t been out shooting for the past week. It seems like forever to me but I’m sure most readers don’t even notice. Looking at photos from this time last year, I noticed that we had a nice covering of snow which, of course, makes things somewhat pretty around here. When there is no snow…
365-362 Old haunts
Apparently I’m still on my mental vacation because I’m still not putting any effort into shooting. I’ve been relying on my processing a little too much to help carry me through the past few days, mostly because what I did shoot has been lame, at best. Today, I had to go out and buy a wireless router because I’ve finally…
365-348 Direction
A simple black and white abstract today. I had to go into downtown Pittsburgh for an appointment (which I’ll elaborate on at a later time) and I shot this from the parking garage. It’s kind of a habit of mine when I park in city garages to look over the edge for a different perspective on the city below. This particular…
365-345 Me and about a thousand other people
I made a visit into downtown Pittsburgh today to check on a place that I need to visit later in the week. Since I have to go there early during morning rush I wanted to be sure of where I needed to go and park. While I was there today I thought I would easily be able to get a few…
365-329 How much is that zebra?
When I see a zebra in the window of an urban store, I’m thinking “hmm, there’s a picture.” Unfortunately when a zebra is in the window, it probably isn’t alive. It wasn’t. The store ended up being a soon to be opened taxidermy shop. Lots of cool animals “hanging around” but the reflections and glare on the windows made it…
365-326 Wet and wild
Wild color that is. Another one of my “shoot through a rainy window” photos. This is a roll of color coded conduit or fiber optic cable at a construction area. I didn’t have to work today because of the rain yet I still ended up taking a construction photo! In this case the “construction site” is a large office/manufacturing/retail/golfing/dining/etc. complex that is…
365-316 Los cincuenta finales
The beginning of the end of my 365 project – the first of the final fifty images. It’s been fun but I can’t wait to take a break. Oh, I’ll keep shooting and posting, but probably closer to a few times a week, mostly if I have interesting images or stories. And I’ll keep dragging my camera around and trying…
