My first day off of work before Christmas and I spent most of it sitting in traffic near the malls! Throw in a dark and gloomy rainy day and I couldn’t even take a decent picture if I tried. And I didn’t try. After sleeping in way too late and then trying to get around town for some errands before hitting…

365-353 Stop making sense
I’m feeling relaxed. With my 365 winding down and the holiday season upon us, I’ve decided to just relax. I’m still on the job site for a few more days and I’ve been pressuring myself the past few weeks to come up with interesting photos within my limited world, but I realized I was being too hard on myself. I had the…
365-351 If you don’t try
These photos are the best I could do today. Let me rephrase that – the best I could do with what I did. I didn’t get around to taking a photo until late today. No big deal, it was just a holiday thing, running around doing errands with my wife, shopping, a late lunch, and in general having a nice…
365-350 Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I’ve been eating them for six or seven weeks now, haven’t got sick once. Probably keep us both alive. “Wooden Ships” by Crosby, Stills, and Nash is perhaps one of my favorite songs. I don’t know what is about it but I’ve always liked it since I first heard it as a teenager. Maybe because it’s mysterious and so different…
365-344 When I was cool
There was a time when I was cool, or at least thought I was. I had long hair, played guitar and was in good shape. I was a rocker with torn jeans and boots. Cowboy boots to be specific. Although more associated with the wild west and country music, there was a time when cowboy boots were rock-n-roll. I had a few…
365-343 Potpourri photo day
I took a variety of photos today so I may as well post a few. Other than that I don’t have much to say, so I’ll just get into the descriptions, starting with some photos of a wooden pallet (I know, I’m grasping) taken with my Super-Takumar 50mm lens. I think these were taken around f/2 to 2.8. I warmed them up a…
It’s bokeh time!
After I did my 365 shot today the rain changed over to snow. I thought that would be a good time to drag out the Super-Takumar 50mm lens and take a few wide open bokeh shots. These photos were taken behind a shopping plaza. Enjoy!
365-334 Wired
Just one of those days. I was working all day, stuck high on a hill with blowing snow and exceptionally cold wind. And mud, lots of mud. It wasn’t pleasant. So when I had time to take a photo I didn’t feel like venturing out too far. And there’s nothing better on a day like this then to take a photo…
365-296 Time for time
Continuing my time of just relaxing at home. I’m heading back out of town for work tomorrow so I didn’t want to drive around any today. I saw the sunlight from a window lighting a clock in my dining room and tried a few shots with my Super-Takumar 50mm lens. Upon viewing the results I thought of a SkeletalMess Post Card texture that I saw…
365-294 Make a note
One of those days where I didn’t feel like heading out for a photo. I got to enjoy playing my guitar today and just relaxing. So instead of looking for a subject I thought I would make one. It’s a rare event that I try still life photos, mostly because I lack any proper “studio” gear. Regardless I decided to…
