Today’s skies had more bluster than bite most of the day. With that said, my home town has changed a bit, but not enough that I wasn’t able to catch this mostly open view of the sky across from a four lane road where I filled my gas tank. I wish the lighting … Continue reading »
Nothing too special today. Our area actually experienced a few snow flurries, a rarity for the season. This photo was taken in my backyard before work. A cold flame indeed. And then this. And finally this tonight. No real standout photography for the day. If the snow continues, perhaps tomorrow will be better photos of … Continue reading »
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 »

Today’s photo was quite simply the result of reading my camera‘s manual. I’ve owned a Cannon EOS 1000D since Christmas 2010. Yes, 2010. After actually reading parts of the manual I learned things I knew my camera could do, but I did not know how to do. Say hello to AV settings, aperture, and depth of … Continue reading »
Time to move on. It’s time to get going. – Tom Petty I am going to get sappy for a minute. I am good at sappy. It is what I do when I’m not being aloof, or grouse or too hard on myself or self-absorbed (though I can do the latter while doing many other … Continue reading »
