Riders in the storm

What to do when you’re waiting out a really heavy rain in a parking lot? Why, take pictures of the rain of course! In this case, the rain that was running down the side window of my car. Things were a little tricky because the rain was fast and heavy which meant the drops were on the move.  Throw in…

It’s that time

With the summer weather finally upon us I will be taking to some time to get some things done at the house and, of course, taking a holiday or two. I plan on doing some shooting whenever I can fit it in but I don’t know how often I’ll be posting – could be hit or miss. I may throw…

Sums it up

This has been a very wet summer so far. It seems almost every day the clouds roll in and it rains, mostly in the form of a storm. Meanwhile the other side of the country is experiencing drought-like conditions. Somewhere in the USA, I imagine, the weather is being nice this summer. Maybe in Hawaii? Sounds like a good idea. This,…

Walking, shooting….and thinking

These photos were taken while walking around Charleston, South Carolina on one rainy day. There’s  something about being in a different city that puts me in tourist mode instead of photographer mode. My creativity just sinks and I end up leisurely shooting the sites. That’s not a bad thing, I guess, since the idea of the trip was just to get…

The color of muddy

I’m not one for talking dirty but how about a little mud in your eye? There’s nothing like a good rainfall on a January day in the West Virginia hills to stir up a little mud. Of course, artistically it leaves a lot to be desired. Just a monotone brown color oozing everywhere. But I found a colorful tree to add a little…

Sticks

In my never-ending quest to get out and purposely do more photography I have been failing miserably. Between work and just general household time I haven’t been able to make a day of just shooting and it’s been frustrating me. As a guitar player I know that the more I play, the better I get. The same goes for photography.…

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 feel like this leaf

I guess I picked a good week to take vacation. With this being the fifth rainy day in the row, I’m getting a little soggy. I canceled some plans to get work done on my house because it’s a bit too wet, so that left me with not much to do. With the exception of the hard core hurricane induced…

Something got wet

As dry as it has been, at least the corn got some rain yesterday and today. Unfortunately the rain came in the form of heavy storms which causes problems more than it helps any drought situations. As an example, I was driving through the hills of West Virginia yesterday and had to turn around multiple times due to flash flooding. A tough…
