I am one of those folks who try to have a camera with them at all times. I don’t mean I carry one into the grocery store but I generally throw one into the car when I’m heading out, you know, just in case. I’m always looking for photo-ops. This particular photo I spotted while driving in the city. My…
I live in a rundown town. I’ve mentioned quite a few times on this blog how I don’t live in a particularly photogenic place. I live in a small town in Pennsylvania that had its day a number of years ago. Once the steel and glass industry disappeared the town began to fade, not unlike most rust belt…
The real Havana has been in the news a lot these days but I, being a mere normal working American, can only come as close as the Miami neighborhood of Little Havana. Not quite the same but a pleasurable place nonetheless. My wife and I enjoyed a few days in Miami Beach, just kicking back and trying to escape the…
While walking around uptown Charlotte for one evening I wanted to grab a few photos of the city since this was the first, and possibly only time I would visit the city. Although I was only in town for the one night, I thought it was a very nice, clean, vibrant city. There certainly were plenty of entertainment and dining options…
I’m tapped out on verbiage at the moment. I’ll catch up tomorrow. For now, enjoy an architecture shot taken in Charlottte, NC.
Between the dappled light and the wood grain on the church door I couldn’t help but to take this shot. But it was kind of a let down after I took it. I didn’t want to simply shoot the whole door and I thought the railing would help balance out the composition. I think it helps but what it’s helping,…
In my ever-changing mind I thought I would try some straight up building shots for something different. I was thinking black and white right from the get-go and the late afternoon sky and light really enhanced the scenes. I basically just walked around looking for different perspectives than I normally would. Normally my eyes are on the ground looking for…
It’s been a while since I walked around the city just for the purpose of photography. Being a holiday weekend I had some free time and wanted to at least try to do some shooting in downtown Pittsburgh. I figured late Sunday afternoon wouldn’t be too busy but a Pirates baseball game just let out as my wife and I…
If you are questioning yourself why you keep visiting this site, especially when I am posting photos like this, I wouldn’t blame you. My output has been a bit ho-hum and along with a gazillion other things I am trying to accomplish right now, these pages haven’t been too entertaining of late. But the reason I am showing this photo that I shot…
Abstract detail of the Alcoa Building in Pittsburgh. This was beside the bridge from the last post. This was an awkward angle but it seemed to work better than others. I enjoy this type of work and don’t get to perform it as much as I like.
