One thing I like to do sometimes is look at photos I have taken at or near 100% and see if I can find pictures within the picture. When I come across what could be a potential composition I have to decide if a crop is viable or if I have to try a re-shoot. A re-shoot isn’t always possible if it’s a…

365-239 Around the block
All of these photos were taken during a walk around a single block in a neighboring town. I first spotted the boat and parked to take a picture. Afterwards, looking at the old buildings, I thought I would look around for further subject matter. Who knew I would find a gorilla? All Pentax K20D, DA17-70. Click on pics for larger…
365-237 Love them doors
There is something about the brass doors on old city buildings that I like. The patina and warmth of the brass, especially when reflecting the late afternoon light. This door is on a downtown bank. It’s a revolving door on the Trust Building which is one of the older buildings in town. When I stopped at a stoplight and saw the low…
365-235 Two of each
Another day of watching my truck repair bill climb. Sigh. So with everything so crazy you just have to laugh and relax. That calls for lunch with my wife on the southside of Pittsburgh. After lunch on such a fine day, we enjoyed a little stroll and, of course, I took a few pictures. I have a couple of color…
365-232 I swear it’s unintentional
The past few days I have been posting warm toned images. The textured shots were very brownish, yesterdays bicycles were copper toned and today I have an ambrotype toned image. I never really planned any of those ahead of time, it just happened. Todays 365 blimp shot just cried out for an old-time look. The lantern photo just looked good in sepia. The…
365-231 Wheels
I often take photos of old cars because, well, I like them. Not nicely restored cars at a show but old, aged, weathered cars. There is something about the lines of old automobiles that I find interesting mixed with the patina of years of neglect. But I came across an even earlier form of transportation today for my 365 photo.…
Wheeling feeling
Here are few leftover photos I took in Wheeling, West Virginia yesterday. Some good, some bad, some indifferent. Click on pics for best view
365-225 Here’s lookin at ya!
I took a stroll through downtown Wheeling, West Virginia today. It’s an easy drive from where I live but I don’t make it over that way very often. I will get try to visit it more in the future though because it has quite a lot of interesting architecture and urban details. I spotted these characters in a second floor window .…
365-224 Nature is nice
I know I have been shooting creatures lately and while it has been fun it has also been a challenge. Trying to get artsy compositions of animals and insects is really difficult. So I’ll probably go back to normal subject matter after today. I much prefer shooting architectural details, old things and abstracts. It helps that stuff doesn’t move when…
365-212 Primary colors
With all of the running I’ve been doing this week it finally caught up to me. A little tired today, so, with the exception of doing a few errands for the coming week, I really didn’t feel like doing much today. The lawn is ugly because of all of the hot weather but I think it can survive another week…
