Photo a day (29/366):Lights, shadows, colors

Today was a work day. There was no plan for photography. I just stuffed my camera with its macro-lens in my backpack along with my frozen lunch and went. Crossing the river from Kentucky driving into Ohio across the Roebling bridge the sun just fully appeared in the sky. The reflected morning sunlight from Paul … Continue reading »

Photo a day (28/366): Around here

Gray clouds finally parted where I lived after I did a nice little 9 mile run this morning. I napped and decided to go out for lunch before going in to work, giving myself time to take and post some photos along the way. The sun was so strong a lot of images were washed … Continue reading »

Post a day (27/366): Let’s all feng shui tonight

Okay, there is nothing super exciting about these two photos. Quite simply this is a photo of a plant from my grandmother’s funeral in 2010 that I managed to keep alive for over a year and a half now. It is in definite need of pruning and some care, but it seems to be doing … Continue reading »

The fog was deep as I drove the back roads today. I wasn’t sure how the photos would turn out. Continue reading »

What fuels your run?

You know, it is pretty easy to be inspired by runners and their stories. There is rarely a runner’s blog that I stumble across or a story I hear that does not engage me, inspire me, and motivate me. Most recently I came across the blog of Tracey Outlaw called “52.4 Miles in 48 Hours: … Continue reading »

Photo a day (25/366): With the fishes

So, I was stagnating a bit with the photo ideas. Day 25 and I was thinking this might be it. I may be beaten by my own boredom because I want to find that perfect shot. I want to do try thing my camera is absolutely incapable of doing. I am often too lazy to … Continue reading »

Photo a day (23/366): Small town

So, today was another of those busy days. Finding the time to really try to come up with a great shot, or place to shoot, was a challenge. Driving through a small town though I had to stop and try to get this picture. It’s a fire alarm that sits perched atop the fire house … Continue reading »

Photo a day (22/366): The gray

There was nothing pretty about today. A gray fog permeated everything, washing the world of most color. The only bits I could find that popped while outside on break were these, a stencilled bit of graffiti on the Elm Street overpass in Downtown Cincinnati, and a street sign: It was one of those days where … Continue reading »

Photo a day (21/366): The Ice Storm

A minor ice storm struck where I live over night. It was nothing like the one in the depressing 1997 movie starring Kevin Kline. I took pictures of the ice. Continue reading »
