Lenswork Publishing “Light, Glorious Light” 2023 book

Happy to report that one of my images “Sunrise” was selected to appear in the Lenswork book “Light, Glorious Light”. An unusual image for me as I normally don’t have color photos published, let alone a landscape. The majority of my published work is in monochrome and my subject matter is usually more detail oriented. I shot this image over ten…

One week later and it’s a different scene

The photos I took in my last post were taken in a nearby park. One week after I took those photos, the scene totally changed – we had snow! Though the idea of snow in December in Pennsylvania doesn’t sound unusual, it has been a rarity the last few years. An inch or two or a dusting here or there…

Bend it like Escher

He who wonders discovers that this in itself is wonder. –  M. C. Escher OK, this doesn’t quite look like an Escher drawing, but that’s what shiny globe reflections always remind me of.  I shot this while wandering past some antique shops in a nearby town where I can usually find interesting objects to shoot that are displayed in the…

365-277 Reflecting time

I’ll keep the chatter to a minimum today because I just want to take a break. I really need to do some adjustments on my guitars and change some strings. Plus just working on some songs and relaxing. I also want to visit a few sites of the fellow bloggers who stopped by here. So I’ll leave you with a…

365-168 Reflections

Visited my old standby, the cemetery, today to see if there was any action at the duck pond. There were no ducks to speak of but  quite a few big geese waddling around everywhere. Enough geese where I had to watch where I was walking 😉 . I decided to explore around the pond anyhow and look for some other subjects.…

365-127 Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door

Well I didn’t see any giants doing cartwheels or statues wearing high heels but I did turn to see the outdoor color reflecting in the glass of my kitchen door.  I wanted the color to be subtle and of course no reflected detail so I focused on the string and let everything else blur. Blind

A few extra shots from yesterday – Dawes Arboretum

As promised last night, here’s a few extra shots from yesterday. Like I mentioned, I had to go to Columbus, Ohio and along the way is Dawes Arboretum. I didn’t have too much time to spend there but I made a detour to check it out and see what was available to shoot. This early in the year, I didn’t…

365-81 Still water

I don’t come across still water reflections too often so I was thrilled to get this shot. I know the “reflecting trees shot” has been done often, and usually to better effect, but it was fun to try.  I had to go to Columbus on business today so I swung by Dawes Arboretum to see what was there. I didn’t expect much…

365-69 Mellow Yellow

Yellow can be a bright cheerful color, especially after a drab winter. I didn’t head out to shoot yellow, or any other color, today. It’s still raining for the second day and I really didn’t feel like walking around and getting soaking wet so I tried to find subjects from my car. I took a shot of reflections while waiting…

365-65 Movin’ on

Number 65!! Only 300 more to go! 300?!! Yikes. Sticking around the house again today, which makes it tough to find photo subjects. I hope to get out and about more as the weather improves. I’m still layed off from my “normal” job, so I have plenty of time but no money. ;-(  With gas prices rising, I have to…
