One week later and it’s a different scene

The photos I took in my last post were taken in a nearby park. One week after I took those photos, the scene totally changed – we had snow! Though the idea of snow in December in Pennsylvania doesn’t sound unusual, it has been a rarity the last few years. An inch or two or a dusting here or there…

Been a long time coming

I guess Christmas is over, LOL. Sorry for the looooong delay in posting. Life happens. With still not much to say, I will refresh this site with a couple new photos I recently shot at Magnolia Plantation in Charleston, SC. Pictures of birds! Not my forte but, hey, they were willing subjects and it was fun for the moment. Shot…

Getting squiggly with it

I am not squiggly. Just some plants reflecting in wavy pond water. I know, it’s a ho-hum photo but I did want to post something since I’ve been away for a while. It’s generally not a good idea to post ones crappy photos but I felt like I had to do something. I’ll be back soon with some black and…

A whirlwind of activity

I know it’s been over a month since my last post and honestly I never realized how fast time was flying by. I surprised I still have a few visitors every day because it would appear that I abandoned this site. But I’m still here! Well, for the time being at least. I have an idea for another site more…

Minimal reptile

I’m going to take a break from color and go dark. Real dark. This is what you do when you can’t get a close-up of an alligator (the not long enough lens thing). So to make the best of it I went simple and graphic. Does it work? Eh, I don’t know. This is one of the shots where I…

A boating life

As a landlubber here in Pennsylvania, my experiences with boats have been few and far between. I could probably count on one hand the number of times I have ben on a boat. There was the inflatable raft I bought at Kmart as a teenager to float down a local creek for a scene in a super-8 film project. That excursion lasted…

Sums it up

This has been a very wet summer so far. It seems almost every day the clouds roll in and it rains, mostly in the form of a storm. Meanwhile the other side of the country is experiencing drought-like conditions. Somewhere in the USA, I imagine, the weather is being nice this summer. Maybe in Hawaii? Sounds like a good idea. This,…

It’s what you make of it, I guess

Although this photo would most likely fall into the “abstract” category, I’m not really sure it is. Abstract, to me, means either a study in lines, tones, shadows, textures, etc. where the “subject” (if there is one) is not easily recognizable. An altered look at reality, as it were. According to my favorite (and totally correct ;-)) reference site, Wikipedia, abstract is ‘a visual…

We-eeell, I can’t quit you, baby, But I got to put you down a little while

To quote the late great Willie Dixon I think I’m going to take a little break from the blog and photography for a week or two. I just need to spend some time catching up on things like my guitar playing, some reading, research, work on the house, etc. Maybe even sit down and watch a movie or two. It’s…

Really? Has it been a week?

Wow, time flies when you’re not posting! I haven’t posted in a week mostly because I haven’t taken any photographs. A few snaps here and there but not much of any value. And I am not really sure if this photo is any value but I do like the scene. The colors in the original were all muted, basically a…
