365-230 Relax

After my vehicle fiasco yesterday and finding out what the monetary damage ($!!!) is today, I thought it best to take things in stride. After securing a rental vehicle and taking care of business with my employer, it was nice to visit a small park and enjoy the nature a little. A nice calming effect. With todays 365 photo I went…

365-218 Stylin’

Ah, the landau top. A wonderful exercise in automotive design. Throw it on a big, wide Buick and you’ll be the talk of the town. I remember doing some car detailing when I was younger and almost all of the cars had vinyl tops. Reconditioning a vinyl top really wasn’t any fun but when the owner saw the gleaming white…

365-184 Three Rivers Regatta

Pittsburgh has an annual regatta around the 4th of July holiday.  There are various events each year varying between high wire acts to hot air balloons. Every year they have powerboat races on the rivers. I haven’t visited the regatta in quite a few years since I was usually working and couldn’t go if I wanted. This year I am not…

365-178 Happy happy joy joy

That’s the way I have to feel after getting my second job rejection within the week. Both interviews, I thought, went well and I would have been a good fit in either position even though they were both different types of jobs. Trying to find a job in another line of work is proving to be difficult. Edited to remove…

365-171 Baby please don’t go

Besides a cool song (here’s a version by Lightnin Hopkins) it’s also my plea to my viewers. OK, I really don’t think people will flee when I have a few bad days, it’s just that I always want to show something really good everyday. I know that is kind of impossible and I have to stop thinking that way, but I’m…

365-163 Stumbling along

Not much to add today. I was in Pittsburgh and intended to stop at the arts festival but didn’t quite get there. I drove around a few different areas that I don’t normally explore and discovered some type of church festival going on.  It wasn’t too exciting and most of the pictures I took are rather ordinary snapshotty photos. I…

365-161 A little rurality

My original plans were to go to the arts festival again in Pittsburgh today. I thought it was a nice day and I always like to shoot in the city. But those plans got thwarted because some business I was trying to take care of ended taking too much time. So, later in the day I remembered a park that’s…

365-159 Little pink houses

Well I don’t really think this was an actual house at any time. I think it was more of a roadside business of some type. I can’t really remember what it was but it’s on a the side of a busy road south of Pittsburgh. I pass by it quite often and thought about photographing it some day but I…

365-154 Yes, actual people!

Regulars viewers know that it’s rare for me to show people pictures.  I don’t have anything against them, I just don’t normally try to take any. And when I do, I don’t think I bring anything new to the table, creatively. I’ll leave that to others. But today was the first day of the Three Rivers Arts Festival in downtown…
