After work I took a drive through an urban area on the way back to my hotel. I visit this area a few times a week for photo subjects since it is easily accessible and in between work and my lodging. The actual business area is relatively small and there is a commercial strip on a busy road. But it’s the…

365-310 Sheesh
Today is a continuation of yesterday in a sense. This is my only day off before heading back out of town tomorrow for work, which means I constantly have to think of what I need to get done before I go. The time change always throws me off a little in the first place. Then I had to drive 30 miles to…
365-304 Art for art
Wow, it’s getting difficult to find photo subjects as the days get shorter. The project I am on for work keeps me busy until near dark, which doesn’t help. I try to find stuff on the way back to my hotel while there is still light but it’s a well worn path. Occasionally I’ll find something new or see something old in…
365-303 It’s still a sill
Heading out to take care of some business, I thought about going by the usual cemetery to find a photo. Instead I stopped by an old railroad station in town that is now being used for, I assume, storage by a cement company. I took some photos there earlier in the year (365-24) and I didn’t want to repeat those,…
365-302 Just a 365
I’ve been in a little bit of a slump lately, not just artistically but in general also. Life has just been catching up with me and I let it. I just have to make some changes soon in order to carry on in a more positive way. It’s not any health or family issues, everything is fine in that regard,…
365-292 “It’s for an art project”
As I was taking some photos of a building today, a woman came out of a door that I just shot and said “may I ask what are you taking pictures for?” I replied, matter of factly, “it’s for an art project!” She stared back blankly, followed by a brief silence and then muttered “Hmm……..OK.” I use the “art project” reply…
Scenes from West Alexander
A few shots I took in West Alexander, PA on my way to work this morning. Since I was going to work I couldn’t spend too much time looking for details so I worked somewhat too quickly and just shot things that caught my eye. Unfortunately, composition seemed to take a backseat at times 😦 Photos processed with Topaz Black…
365-288 One of two
I got a call this morning that I had to go to work on a project near Wheeling, WV. I had plenty of time to get there so on my way I did a quick detour through the town of West Alexander, PA. I took a previous 365 shot there (365-264) and I remembered some other details from that day that…
365-286 Drive time
I had to work on a project today that required me to drive through the city. Since Pittsburgh does not have a beltway highway system, to get from one side to the other you have to either drive through the city or through crowded suburban roads. I haven’t done this commute in quite some time since most of my work…
365-281 Traffic
If there is a word that describes today, it would have to be traffic. There seemed to be heavy traffic everywhere today. Just getting around, anywhere, was a chore. My wife and I left the house late in the afternoon and I thought we would go into Oakland area of Pittsburgh to try to some architecture photos. Unfortunately on our way…
