Well I don’t really think this was an actual house at any time. I think it was more of a roadside business of some type. I can’t really remember what it was but it’s on a the side of a busy road south of Pittsburgh. I pass by it quite often and thought about photographing it some day but I…

Buildings and water in Pittsburgh
A few shots from yesterday. All Pentax K20D.
365-152 When all else fails…
…go for color. I was on the southside of Pittsburgh this afternoon and even though there is plenty of old architecture around I just wasn’t seeing anything. The bright sunlight was too harsh and when I looked in the shady areas everything looked kind of….well…neat and clean. Nice, but not good for photos! So when I saw this brightly painted and weathered…
365-144 And some extras from yesterday
First my 365 shot. I didn’t have my shot in until late today. I stopped in a Guitar Center store to check out some gear this evening while my wife went to another store. Not so much shopping, just seeing what was out there. The visit just reconfirmed what I already knew – my guitars are pretty nice and I haven’t…
365-143 Tunnel vision
Got to kick around Pittsburgh this evening. I actually managed some twilight shots – something I don’t get to do very often. I liked this shot of the walkway because of the mixed lighting which created the greenish light inside the tunnel. Pentax K20D, DA17-70. I’ll throw a couple more shots up tomorrow. Green Way
365-136 No complaints
I think I complain too much on here so today I’ll go easy on the readers. Well, I’ll try at least. My first shot is simply three windows on the upper floor of a downtown building. The color of the building is pretty cool and stands out among the drab beige tones of all of the other nearby buildings. Don’t let the color…
365-134 The street artist
This storefront used to be a radio and electronics store. I remember buying tubes for my guitar amplifier there back in the early eighties. Had I known better at the time I would have bought out his whole inventory of tubes because NOS (New Old Stock) USA made tubes go for a hefty sum today because of availability and the TONE that…
365-128 Hmm, I can’t think of a catchy title
Nor can I really think of much to say today. One of those kind of days, I guess. Todays shot was taken at a loading dock in the rear of a grocery store. I was driving by and the bright color of the pallets against the black caught my eye. A simple, straightforward composition. I didn’t want to push my access…
365-88 Familiar color scheme
The only place in town that has bright colors and is somewhat clean is an industrial supply warehouse. This is a gate entrance that caught my eye as I was traveling past the building. I think the blue and yellow combination works well for photos. I’m including another picture I took earlier in the year at another location. Both with K20D and…
365-75 Workin at the…
Took a few shots at a small, uhm…slightly weathered, manual car wash and took a few detail shots today. I’ll keep the text to a minimum today because, well, there’s not much to say. All with Pentax K20D, DA55-300. Red Brush
