Smoke

Smoke

Tonight I played with a macro lens, an off-camera strobe, and a candle. Light the candle, wait two minutes, blow it out, take two photos, and repeat as needed. I took a lot of shots, but this one was my favorite. I’d like to do this again, as I don’t feel like I got the […]

Spirit Day 2011

Spirit Day

  It’s Spirit Day (click to learn more), and in support of the LGBT community, many people wore purple shirts. Me, I can’t really wear purple. My skin gets an orange tint around too much purple… so I bought a tie instead. Why do we need to support the LGBT community? Are you Lesbian, Gay, […]

The Doctor’s Files

files

You’ve probably seen these before – the neat, orderly row of files at a doctor’s office. They always look so neat and orderly to me. I like visual patterns, especially when there’s a break in them, such as we see here with the case of the mysterious Mr. and Mrs. F7801.

Fair Ride, 2011

Ride

About a year ago, I posted a couple pictures of this ride. Today I took photos of the same ride, but after dark. I like how they turned out. These first two images are down by a fog machine, and the last is up high above. Once again, I didn’t ride. It’s called the “Freak […]

Dog in the Surf

Abigail runs in the ocean

We took Abigail to the beach a couple weeks ago to try ocean fetch, and she absolutely loved it. I was surprised at how warm the water was. After Labor Day, you just don’t see people jumping in the ocean in New England. Still, I walked in the low waters, and it felt good.

Moth

Moth

This photo was shot through a glass window. The moth landed on the glass, and didn’t seem to mind how close I was getting with my big macro lens. EDIT: Found this video and thought it worth sharing. Check it out!

Manequins

Manequin

These artist’s mannequins hang out in this window all the time. The light was going through its twice a day magic period, and I had to crack open the window and grab a shot. Outside, it’s approaching dusk. Inside, lit by a single incandescent bulb (there are still a few of those left in my house – […]

Pancakes

This image brought to you by Shel Silverstein (who also inspired this photo). Pancakes Who wants a pancake, Sweet and piping hot? Good little Grace looks up and says, “I’ll take the one on top.” Who else wants a pancake, Fresh off the griddle? Terrible Teresa smiles and says, “I’ll take the one in the […]

Blue Skies

Blue Skies

This photo is all about negative space. I think the shapes in between the steel are more interesting than the structure itself.

Hydrangea

hydrangeas

I’m not one of these guys that will go out with a squirt bottle to add little drops of water to flowers before I take their pictures… but when it rained a couple weeks ago, I went looking for interesting things to shoot, and I liked the way the water was dripping from the hydrangeas […]
