I think I complain too much on here so today I’ll go easy on the readers. Well, I’ll try at least. My first shot is simply three windows on the upper floor of a downtown building. The color of the building is pretty cool and stands out among the drab beige tones of all of the other nearby buildings. Don’t let the color…

325-126 All about texture
I’m kind of running out of time tonight so I’ll keep the text short. I did my usual ride around town again and although not looking for anything in particular, I found textures more than anything. My 365 shot is just an odd sight on the side of an old building downtown. What the purpose is I have no idea but…
365-119 Not a better photographer
I’m feeling better today but that doesn’t mean the photographer is any better ;-). This was shot in my usual “sitting at a redlight and looking out of my window” style. I should be able to plan a day soon when I can just go out and focus on the photography. Perhaps a day trip to Pittsburgh for some city shots.…
365-111 De-dazzler
After being dazzled by spring color and flowers the past few days, I thought I would try going back to my usual subjects. What are my usual subjects? Looking at my past work, I have no idea! In a way, I like that though. I’m not constrained by visual boundaries I set on myself. Free to shoot whatever, however. All…
365-107 A few from around town
Took a drive around town (as usual) and took a few shots. Again, nothing overly creative but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless. My 365 shot is at Washington and Jefferson College campus. It’s part of my quest to find spring color. The black and white is at the town park. You can see why I zoomed through there! The…
365-98 Takin’ it to the streets
Through some comments I’ve had with Nathan Stitt about street photography and a recent discovery of the work of John Angulat, I have a renewed interest in that style of photography. I’ll be the first one to admit that I am not a street photographer. First of all, I don’t live in a large city where most really cool street…
365-95 I drove through the park….
… hoping, MAYBE, that there would be some sign of spring, but it looked like February without the snow. No buds, no leaves, mud, dead grass…..aaargh! The other night I was looking in some of my photo files from last year at this same week and there are pictures that I took in the park that show spring blossoms and bright green grass. It’s crazy how…
365-70 Urban shooting
I saw this large sticker that was starting to peel off of a building and thought it could be interesting from a different angle. This is behind what was once a coffee shop. A little bit of urban art, I guess, in an alley. A rare sight where I live. even though my town has a few art galleries and…
365-61 Most interesting place in town
Took a drive through the cemetery, again, because there was absolutely NOTHING to shoot today, at least around where I live. Sure, it was a bright sunny day but that just highlighted how dirty and dull everything is this time of year. It says a lot about a place when the cemetery is the most interesting, photogenic place in town. …
365-48 The park after winter
Well, I guess it is still winter but it’s pretty warm today and feels like spring. I swung by the city park today to try to find some photo subjects. It’s looking a little worse for wear and tear after winter. Everything is still kind of filthy and dull so I knew I wasn’t going to get any kind of…
