I don’t know why I’ve been on this black and white kick lately, but I may as well enjoy it while it’s here. Of course, coming across a scene like this helps fuel the fire somewhat. A simple scene of a pipe running through a bracket into some rubber flaps is transformed into a cool abstract when broken down into light and…

Looking at a wall
I don’t have much to discuss about this photo – I simply liked the textures and color combinations. This was taken the other night when I was looking around in the antique store windows. I took a spin around the block to walk through the alley when I noticed the green “stacked” doors. I thought they looked interesting and I…
How low can you key?
It’s not too often that I come across a scene that would make a good low-key image, so I was happy to spot this one. I was in Pittsburgh and was simply taking a walk with my wife on a beautiful spring day. The area we were at has shopping and restaurants so there isn’t too much to shoot as far…
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…
Got wood?
A couple of earthy, woody shots for today. I don’t think I’ll win any composition awards with these but I liked the general warmth of the photos. I processed the photos with a warming filter, which basically steers the color balance towards yellow. It’s a bit of an extreme shift, and one that wouldn’t work well in a lot of situations, but I think it…
It’s a gas, gas, gas
Where have I been? I know that you all are wondering that…..right? Ok, maybe not, but I have been in orientation mode at my first week at my new job. My work is in the natural gas business although my position doesn’t have much to do with the actual gas portion….sort of. My concern is mainly the actual sites, not so…
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…
3 days down (visiting Dawes Arboretum)
I got hit with another cold/fever for the second time in a month. That’s highly unusual for me as I rarely get sick that often. Last months illness only lasted for about 36 hours, but his time around was a little heavier and knocked me down for the past three days. With another week to go before I start my new…
Coincidence?
As I previously mentioned, I am redecorating some rooms in my house. After almost completing the dirty work of repairing the plaster walls and applying texture I went to purchase paint at Lowes yesterday. I already had a color picked out but as I was looking at the paint color palette brochures, I was surprised by the cover image on one of…
Maybe it’s just me
Every once in a while I come across a scene that just intrigues me. It could be something simple like a color or texture that first captures my attention and then I just have to stop and get a photo. This scene was one of those. I just liked the colors and textures at work here. Add the cross, the pink…
