Life is seldom simple so we must make sense of the twist and turns
From the monthly archives:
This past Friday morning my roaming took me to some railroad tracks. After a few “normal shots” I thought a lower angle might be interesting.
As I laid there stretched out upon my stomach between the rails, my camera six inches above the ground, I thought if someone comes along they’d think me drunk, crazy or [...]

I find photos of roads or train tracks leading off into the distance out of sight to be appealing. It’s more about the subject matter then the photographic qualities.
I’m a bit of a paradox in that I enjoy being home and can easily spend long periods of time there without becoming bored but also have [...]

I’ve been reviewing, key-wording and reorganizing some of this years photos getting ready for next year. I’m also taking a fresh look at the photos to see if there are any gems I may have missed on the first go around.

I only made it to one of the local parks to shoot this week. I’ve shot there often before and know it presents some good photographic opportunities at certain times of the year. However, even before I went I knew this wasn’t to be one of those times.
The majority of the leaves have all fallen [...]

I have mixed feelings regarding the purposed bailout of the U.S. big three auto companies. I worked at an automotive supplier for over 18 years and I understand how wide an impact bankruptcy and layoffs could be.
It will extend well beyond those who directly work for one of the auto-manufacturers.
If the big three declare bankruptcy [...]

As I become a bit more skilled with Adobe Photoshop I find myself using it as a tool to dissect and analyze my photos…at times selecting a photo which in my judgement “missed-the-mark” and making it a pleasing creation.
I crop and cut, experimenting with over-all composition. I play with exposures, curves, filters and overlays to [...]

It started off as a cold morning but by afternoon had turned into a nice day with temperatures in the mid-50’s.
Wanting to be out and about I spend my afternoon raking leaves, mowing yard and removing dead or dying potted annual plants from the porch…chores required each fall after the first frost and most of [...]
