I like todays picture. I’m not really sure why. It doesn’t offer much along the lines of subject matter – just some black cattle, scattered around the photo. It’s not necessarily a good composition. The image is kind of dark, in my opinion, but I wanted it that way. I wanted the black cattle to be black, just like they looked in…

Numbers game
I got to walk around some old Victorian townhouses today in one of my favorite cities to explore – Wheeling, West Virginia. I’ve posted a number of architectural shots here on my blog in the past that were taken in or around Wheeling as I find it a fascinating and approachable city. It has a rich history and there are a…
Woodsy
A little diversion from the carnival and into the woods of West Virginia. Just a lot of trees there.
Just Posting Vol. 2
A continuation of my posting of what I think is uninspiring photography that I have been doing lately. I thought this shot would look good in black and white but it just didn’t work out. Too busy or contrasty or something. So I settled on the color but I’m still not happy – maybe too much green or something.
Buildings and angles in black and white
While walking around in Wheeling, West Virginia the other day, I snapped a number of photos of the local architecture. Most of my shots were from ground level while looking up. Not exactly the best way to do architectural studies. Be that as it may, I wasn’t equipped with a telephoto to zoom in on the details from afar or…
Through the looking glass
In this case, the looking glass being the window of an antiques store. I was walking around Wheeling the other day looking for things to shoot, mostly to test a new camera. I like to try out a camera in a variety of real world shooting situations and take photos of things I normally shoot to get a real evaluation…
Crickets chirping….
…..is what I hear around here lately. It’s been a bit lonely with the lack of visitors but I have no one to blame but myself. My photography output is way down since last years 365 project. Plus I find that, without the pressure of having to do a daily photo, I don’t push myself to get out there and shoot. I…
Scenes from a dirt road
I found myself on a narrow dirt road today, hugging along the hills of West Virginia. I don’t know if it was the worlds roughest road, but it was pretty rough. I had to chug along at a slight crawl trying to avoid whatever ruts and sharp rocks I encountered yet I still got tossed around in my truck. Throw in…
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…
I’m still here
Not only has it been too long since I last posted, it’s been a while since I’ve actually had a chance to take any photos. With my new job, since I’m still in orientation mode, my days are being spent with other people so I can’t be snapping photos every time I see something interesting :-). And although the days are…
