Although it didn’t quite look how I imagined when I heard that the Andy Warhol Bridge was being covered in yarn, it still was a cool site to see. And feel, since the railing along the walkway was also yarn wrapped. Yarn bombing, they call it. Either way, I do like these large scale urban art projects. They really boost spirits…

Like a song
This image came together very much like a recorded song. When you listen to a recorded song you are hearing the final product put together from multiple parts. From the notes, chords, and melody played by various instruments and singers. The choice of instruments, amplifiers, microphones, reverbs, effects, etc. all play a role in the sound. Then the recording process…
Changing
I want to change the way I shoot. I spent almost a whole day in the city of Pittsburgh on Friday and this is my favorite shot of the day. I like the strong shadows as the skateboarder tried numerous attempts. Not much, I know but at least it has some kind of vision. And I know the reason why.…
Just my imagination running away with me
I’ve been finding myself wandering too much lately when it comes to photography. I am caught up in this attempt to create a fantastic photo, head out to create that photo, and end up finding myself disappointed at the end of the day. I am thinking too much. Way too much. I think I have a great location planned where I’ll…
Pops of red
A couple of automotive “portraits” for today. No fancy photography technique here – just some scenes I saw while walking around. If the architecture looks different from my usual work, it’s because these were shot in Charleston, South Carolina. I was there for only a couple of days this week and most of that was raining, heavily at times, so I couldn’t…
Maybe it was for the better
I was trying to think of what to post last night, thinking that I had no interesting photos from the weekend, when the power went out at my house. My house and the surrounding neighborhood, for whatever reason since it wasn’t storming and there wasn’t an accident that I was aware of. My electric flickered off and on just a few days…
Back alley bonanza

Bricks, lots of bricks
I find most red brick buildings uninteresting as far as photography is concerned. The color and small consistent patterns usually makes for a dull photo. If I can find something of interest where a brick building is concerned I usually convert to black and white which takes away the distracting color and makes you concentrate on the lines instead. But today…
I can’t explain
I can’t explain much about this photo other than I took it through the window of an old storefront in Wheeling. It was in a large building and touted itself as an antiques store but it just looked like a bunch of useless junk sitting in an old warehouse. I think it was still in business, or at least recently…
A one-two punch and I’m back
It’s been a while since I’ve posted and I thought I would give an update on where I’ve been. I visited a doctor about the pain I talked about last time. Tests came back negative and it ended up being some type flu bug. Soon after those symptoms went away. However I still had pain in my shins and it…
