My photo, “Curved Pipes”, was chosen to be included in Black and White magazine’s contest issue #101, available on newsstands now. It was placed in the category Pattern/Texture (pg. 231) and is also featured in the table of contents (pg. 11), which was a nice bonus. I have to say though, among the 8 images I submitted, I didn’t think this one…

Trickle down theory
I believe the decline in visitors to this site is coinciding with my lack of input. It’s totally understandable because I seriously have done nothing to increase the traffic. I haven’t been perusing other blogs as much as I should because it seems like I don’t have the time to do everything that I would like to do. I have great…
Look for me on the newsstands now
A few months back I asked readers for their opinion on some black and white images I was submitting to a contest. I ended up choosing four images to submit, some being favorites of readers and friends and one being a personal favorite. Well last month I found out that at least one of my images was accepted to be…
I went to the cemetery expecting to shoot black and white
But after I got home and reviewed the images I found that a majority of them worked better in color. Maybe it was because it was nearing sunset and the light was nice or maybe because I just wasn’t seeing the textures I was expecting. Either way it was a decent shoot considering I spent barely a half hour there.…
Ghosts of the machine…….NOW with bokeh!
How about a few shots of what was a piece of construction machinery that burned up? The machine was hauled away but some debris remained. Melted glass (in a nice aqua color, I might add), burnt rubber, and steel. And while we are at it, who can’t resist bokeh? Everybody loves it! So when you add bokeh to trash it…
I think I’m done with photography
I’m done with photography of the autumn season at least. Trying to get interesting photos of fall is always difficult, in my opinion, (unless, of course, you live in the Rockies or New England) and with the lackluster display this year I’m not going to purposely attempt to document it anymore. Of course I am not a “nature photographer” by…
Small signs of spring (No blues for the blues)
Considering this is the middle of March in Pennsylvania, the weather has been incredibly warm the past week. The forecast for the next week calls for more of the same, so one can’t help but think spring. Even though it technically becomes spring this week, I just hope nothing happens, like a freak snowstorm in April, to destroy the mood. One…
A snowy day at the cemetery
In response to my last post….we got snow! Not a major amount but it was snowy and cold enough to feel like winter for a change. So in order to take advantage of it, I thought I would try to take some pictures while I was out today. I figured I would visit the city cemetery to grab some shots since it’s…
Filtered flowers
Well, after yesterdays protest blackout, I thought it would be nice to return with some flowers. But because this is winter and there isn’t a flower in site, I had to look in my files for some photos I took in the past. I had spent a day last spring in a nearby park and took what seemed like a gazillion flower photos.…
Cold and Hot – a momentary lapse of reason
I’m still not back into full-fledged shooting yet, instead taking the time to clear up some personal and home tasks. But the urge to photograph has been rumbling (I think that’s what that was) and I thought I would poke around in my kitchen this evening. These results are what happens when you look around in the silverware strainer in the sink with…
