2007 – January – Before & After
Although I’ll eventually move this series to Saturday* (like next Saturday) I wanted to debut it today, before I hit the trail for parts north. The external hard drive that houses many of my old images is becoming increasingly less reliable, so I’m in the process of transferring them to… Read More »2007 – January – Before & After
And Put it in Neutral
Here is a collection of images I took for the WEEKLY CHALLENGE, that didn’t make the cut. JUNK, GRAFFITI, MUSIC, and LANDMARK are all included. I’ll try to be better next time.
Bridge Mode
A wintry look at Ledges’ famous stone bridge. I might just make this entire week about my walk around Ledges. But I might not. It is almost as if writing the 2 previous sentences was a complete waste of time. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO: 100 FOCAL LENGTH 18.0mm APERTURE:… Read More »Bridge Mode

AIN’T NO PLACE TO HAVE A BABY
When you got no man to give it his last name… And her folks back in Manhattan didn’t want her or her bundle… So she took her child and caught an evening train… She found a job in Denver washing dishes in a diner… At least it buys her baby… Read More »AIN’T NO PLACE TO HAVE A BABY
Rich Chords Over a Bass Pedal
I feel like it has been too long since I published a picture of Naima. So I’m going to remedy that: Naima does love new fallen snow. Probably because she doesn’t have to snow. Oh wait… I never have to shovel snow either! PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO: 100 FOCAL… Read More »Rich Chords Over a Bass Pedal
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 22 – JUNK
There was a bump in participation this week. Maybe we’ll get another bump next week. I have to confess that I wasn’t able to get the image I wanted this week because the junkyard I was going photograph was snowed over. Which is too bad, even though it is a… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 22 – JUNK

Norman Bates
I might have gone a little mad with the HDR toning on this image. Its not like I’m a maniac or a raving thing. I just go a little mad sometimes. We all go a little made sometimes. Haven’t you? Sometimes just one time can be enough. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY… Read More »Norman Bates
WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 21 – LANDMARK
Oooh. This week came dangerously close to the first strike against this project, but then Kim came in with a photo Monday morning. Maybe this was a theme that didn’t ring many bells or maybe it was all the “bad” weather last week. Regardless. Solid work Kim! The submissions for… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 21 – LANDMARK
Check Out this A Hole!
When you read the subject of this entry, you probably thought that this post was going to be about the Iowa Caucuses, but actually it is an image from my most recent trip to visit Nate and Laura. Behold! Laura tells me that it is quite the thing for people… Read More »Check Out this A Hole!
