I just haven’t been overly thrilled with any of my work lately. Maybe it’s the time and location restraints of my job or maybe it’s the short days and dreary weather. I’m not sure. I do know that because of the above reasons I have been thinking that I have to work quick and get a photo by the middle…

365-341 A stop on the sidewalk
I took todays photos here in town. It was another dark and rainy/snowy day so I didn’t want to venture off pavement any. I was off work again because of the weather so I could roam a little. Usually that’s a good thing, having time to shoot during the day, but because it was so dark it didn’t really make…
365-340 Follow the light(s)
A dreary rainy day of getting up early, going to work, drive around in mud, and hanging out for a few hours before it was decided that the weather wasn’t going to get any better and heading home. A half day off! A good day to get a very much needed haircut and have a relaxing lunch with my wife. Afterwards we did some light…
365-338 Across the street
Todays photos were taken across the street from each other in, shall we say, a rougher area of town. As much as I like being in nice environments, I do tend to veer towards some seedier sections of cities for my photography. I just find more interesting subjects there. The “unstructured” lifestyle in those areas leads to sometimes odd or strange…
365-335 Cool on the hill
Ah, December. The last month of my 365! If there is one thing I learned during this project, it’s knowing that there is always a picture out there. I go out most days not knowing what I’ll shoot or where, yet at the end of the day I have a photo. Sometimes more than one. They may not all be award…
365-331 It’s just a door
Yet I had a tough time deciding between the two pictures of it for my 365 shot. On one side I like the close-up detail of the handle and lock, although I’ve done plenty of those kind of detail shots before. And on the other hand I like the interior lights of the other shot. To me it has better…
365-330 A few from around town
Had some time to take a few quick shots around town today. I processed these with a warm vintage color look mostly because it seemed to work with the first shot, so I kept with the consistency for the rest. During processing, I went back and forth between color and black and white for these and I still think the B&W is stronger for a few of them. But…
365-327 ’tis the season
The last time my blog was featured in Freshly Pressed, I didn’t have a photo yet for the day after I realized I was getting lots of exposure. I felt pressured to give the new visitors something worthy to view. I think I did OK at that time and eventually things settled back to normal. Well I’ve been featured again…
365-319 When it rains….
…I head back home. This crazy wet weather is really delaying the project I am on for work and making my schedule go haywire. I got to work yesterday but it’s raining again for the next two days so I headed back home again. That’s a lot of highway time. Before I headed out of West Virginia, I tried to…
365-315 Darkness on the edge of town
It’s been a long day and seemed like a long week, so I’ll keep it short tonight. I spotted this truck in a back alley a few weeks ago and never had the opportunity to shoot it until today. I only had the chance to process a couple black and white, low key images for now. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Hot…
