Cold and Hot – a momentary lapse of reason

I’m still not back into full-fledged shooting yet, instead taking the time to clear up some personal and home tasks. But the urge to photograph has been rumbling (I think that’s what that was) and I thought I would poke around in my kitchen this evening. These results are what happens when you look around in the silverware strainer in the sink with…

A few that didn’t make the cut. Vol.2

Good thing I’m enjoying a few days off from taking photos because it’s not a very pleasant time of year around here for photography. In the mean time I’m posting a few photos from the past year that didn’t make it into my blog. Just like the photos in Volume 1, some are good, some are just OK, some I’ve posted on Flickr at…

365-364 In the Pink

I’m feeling better then I did yesterday, although I’m not at 100% yet.  Because of that I’m staying around the house today, just resting up. So it became obvious that I would have to find something in the house to shoot for my 365 image. I’m never too good at the still life thing, mostly because I lack any kind…

365-362 Old haunts

Apparently I’m still on my mental vacation because I’m still not putting any effort into shooting. I’ve been relying on my processing a little too much to help carry me through the past few days, mostly because what I did shoot has been lame, at best. Today, I had to go out and buy a wireless router because I’ve finally…

365-361 Take a bad shot…

…and make it badder. My apologies to the Beatles This is really a grab shot. Taken out of my windshield while driving through town.  It was incredibly dark and raining constantly all day which thwarted me from going on any photo journeys. I did go out to run some errands though and took a quick spin through town to see if I…

365-360 Counting down

It’s hard to believe I only have 5 more pictures to finish my 365. Seems like only….a year, since I started. 😉 Since I’m still on my holiday mental down time, I again didn’t put much effort into finding a photo today. But as the sun began to set, I thought it would be a good time to take a…

365-358 Holiday displays

While finishing up some last minute shopping today I swung by my employer’s office to drop some things off, since I was in the area. The office is located in a small urban area that offers some unique photo subjects. Since my wife and I had things to do I couldn’t explore too much but I saw a window display in a small music shop…

365-357 Happy holidays

My first day off of work before Christmas and I spent most of it sitting in traffic near the malls! Throw in a dark and gloomy rainy day and I couldn’t even take a decent picture if I tried. And I didn’t try. After sleeping in way too late and then trying to get around town for some errands before hitting…

365-354 It’s a mystery

I took some photos of raindrops today. I took a LOT of photos of raindrops today. It rained all day, so naturally that was the subject of the day…..until. Until I saw this little figurine in a small pile of trash mixed in with some dirt in the landfill. It was bright yellow and easily caught my eye amongst the brown…

365-353 Stop making sense

I’m feeling relaxed. With my 365 winding down and the holiday season upon us, I’ve decided to just relax. I’m still on the job site for a few more days and I’ve been pressuring myself the past few weeks to come up with interesting photos within my limited world, but I realized I was being too hard on myself.  I had the…
