I live in a rundown town. I’ve mentioned quite a few times on this blog how I don’t live in a particularly photogenic place. I live in a small town in Pennsylvania that had its day a number of years ago. Once the steel and glass industry disappeared the town began to fade, not unlike most rust belt…
It’s that time of year when I like to visit the county fair grounds the day after the fair ends. I try to get there every year to see if I can outdo myself (I never do) and if there is anything different from the previous year (doesn’t seem to be). I can easily walk around and photograph the various vintage looking…
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…
Are you ready for more carnival pictures? Sure you are!! I hope I’m not boring everyone with the “fair” based photos of late but I’m kind of liking all of the color. As you can tell from past posts I tried to vary my approach while shooting. I stayed away from out-and-out people pics, which would be the WAY obvious…
It’s the time of year for the county fair and I think I am going to try to visit this year, mainly for the photo ops. Weather permitting of course, since the parking areas are just grassy fields and they can get rather messy when it rains. I sold my truck a few months ago so I currently lack a…
In response to my last post….we got snow! Not a major amount but it was snowy and cold enough to feel like winter for a change. So in order to take advantage of it, I thought I would try to take some pictures while I was out today. I figured I would visit the city cemetery to grab some shots since it’s…
I took a little bit of a day off from working on the house today. Well it was kind of self-inflicted because I slept in too much and after I got up I didn’t feel like doing much of anything. But I did manage to visit the hardware store and pick up more supplies (there’s always more supplies), so it…
It finally snowed! Considering this is winter, I’m considering that as a good thing. I know a lot of people like mild temperatures and no snow in the winter but I think things are just too ugly this time of year without snow. Mild temperatures just mean it’s going to rain all of the time and I’d rather have snow than…
I’m currently going through some changes that should provide for a better life in the future. Well, as much as physical things can provide. One thing I’ve started is renovating a room in my house to be a music/photography/computer room. There will be a specific area for my computer for both working on photos and to use as a digital…
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…
