Time for a change…..

….in content. I think I’ll take a little break from all of the nature photography I posted here lately. This is not the best time of year for nature photography where I live, so I haven’t been out much amongst the flora and fauna lately. Well, truthfully, I haven’t been out amongst anything lately. That’s another story for another day.…

I’ve been to Bicycle Heaven and back

Taking a little break from the wide-angle black and white shots this time around. Not by choice, mind you, I did want to get out and shoot some but the sky wasn’t working with me of late. I like bold clouds for nice dramatic backgrounds but they just weren’t around when I went out to shoot. I was only blessed with clear blue…

One more week to go!

One more week of my daily July posts to go! My oh my, where does the time go? 🙂 Not soon enough I’m sure, not only to you poor readers but to myself also. As I mentioned previously, not only is it difficult to come up with that many interesting photos but coming up with something to say about them,…

A fair post

It’s county fair time and I got to the setup day a little late. I usually like to walk around the fairgrounds on the setup day to snap a few photos while there’s very little people around. It allows me to focus on the color and vintage details without the clutter of hundreds of people getting in the way. But…

Feelin’ goofy

There was a carnival in my town this weekend which, of course, I did not attend. I had other things to do and really have no need to go to a parking lot carnival, at least a local one. If I came across one in another town and had nothing better to do, I might consider it. A carnival is…

Pretty just didn’t work

I took photos of some tulips the other day and, although they are pretty, they look like every other tulip photo I have taken. Or every one that everyone else has taken also.  I was still in the early spring mood and thought some nice colorful flowers would be nice to feature here.  After uploading to my PC and viewing…

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…

365-264 Keep on truckin’

I know I just did photos of an old truck the other day, but I stumbled upon another today and couldn’t  resist.  I was slightly ahead of schedule this morning and thought I would swing through a small town right off of the interstate. Even though I haven’t been through the town of West Alexander, Pennsylvania in probably close to 20 years, I…

365-258 Re-cycling

Nitro, West Virginia is a long narrow town nestled in a river valley. Besides the industrial areas it’s only a few blocks wide and a few miles long. One thing I noticed when driving through over the past few months was a number of folks getting around on old vintage bicycles. The town is relatively flat with plenty of low…

365-231 Wheels

I often take photos of old cars because, well,  I like them. Not nicely restored cars at a show but old, aged, weathered cars. There is something about the lines of old automobiles that I find interesting mixed with the patina of years of neglect.  But I came across an even earlier form of transportation today for my 365 photo.…
