As I continue this journey with photography I’ve come to identify certain objects or compositions which have a strong natural appeal for me–a path fading off into the distance, an empty bench in the midst of nature and the view over an arched footbridge. I will like most compositions featuring these things. I may need …
Berry, berry, red
While running errands yesterday I came to an intersection where a man was standing with a cardboard sign which read that he was unemployed, looking for work, had children and a wife to support at home. In honesty, I’ve often driven by people with similar signs because I thought it was a scam. In this …
Weekend Photo
“Dull November brings the blast, Then the leaves are whirling fast.” – Sara Coleridge I had hoped by this time to have some initial impressions of Adobe Lightroom 3 to post but this last week I was focused on other projects and have only opened the application once. It’s still on my “to do” list.
2009 Fall Foliage: Resting place
I spotted this arrangement of fallen leaves on a dark wet asphalt parking lot and took this photo from directly above.

Watch your step
There was light consistent rain falling most of the day yesterday which made for some interesting photo opportunities.

I did get some photos I liked, including the one above taken along one of the walkways in …
