Oglebay revisited. Today I wasn’t sure how my schedule was going to play out. By lunchtime I thought I was either going to remain at work until dark or it was going to start raining very hard for the rest of the day and I would be done for the day. So I thought I would swing by the park I…

365-265 The final 100!
Whew, only 100 more days to finish my 365! I’m kind of looking forward to it because having to come up with a somewhat interesting photo every day is a bit nerve-racking at times, especially when I am busy with other things. Yet, at the same time, having to do it has pushed me creatively further than I ever would…
365-263 Architecture – more or less
I love taking photos of architecture. Not so much shooting a whole building but finding details and abstracts within the design that may go un-noticed to passersby. Modern designs work great for black and white abstracts when working with their sleek minimalist lines. Old buildings offer lots of detail, the more weathered the better, especially for color work. I like…
365-262 Wrong place
It seems that every time I see a rainbow and want to take a photo of it I am in the most un-photogenic places. Todays photo was taken in a mini-mart parking lot as I stopped for a coffee this morning. I may have been able to drive to a better location but it was a fleeting moment so I thought…
365-261 Challenged
For the next week or so I am going to be on a work project basically from dark to dark. It’s going to be a challenge to come up with somewhat interesting photos every day without too much repetition. Bear with me, it could be a bumpy ride! Speaking of challenges, my photo subject today looks like he’s ready for…
365-260 Scenes from a blue truck
I’m beat from the week, so I’m going to keep the chatter to a minimum tonight. This is a blue truck that was on a project I am on. Of course, being old and worn (the truck, not me), I was immediately attracted to it. I tried to keep some consistency to the processing of the series for a change.…
365-259 Oh well
I came home with a questionable collection of photos I took today thinking I could make something work. Considering my photos were of basically nothing I knew I had my work cut out for me. It was one of those days. I took photos af almost anything but at the same time knowing that they were total garbage. So this photo is the best…
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…
365-257 Greetings from West Virginia
I thought a postcard post title is apt for my postcardy image today. I saw these gas pumps yesterday and kept them in my mind for a future subject. But today as I was driving by the owner of the property, Sue Moore, was outside chatting with a friend so I asked if I could take a few photos. She was…
365-256 I had to do it
I know you’ve seen those pictures of oil tank stairs with the long curvy shadows from strong sunlight creating an abstract pattern. I always wanted to try a shot like that but I never really come across the scenario. Well today I got a chance and the results aren’t quite what I imagined. I saw some tanks yesterday when I…
