On Deck

On a recent walkabout in a nearby garage, I tried my eye at capturing a variety of shadows and architectural lines.  I am also continuing to work on a style that has a “realistic” film-like feel in terms of tones and tonal transitions.

Signs of Spring

Project 365 – Day 88 Today was a beautiful day.  There was a chill in the air from a cold front, but the blue skies and blooming flowers reminded me that spring is almost here to stick around. We have a beautiful park, amphitheater, and store front area by the city hall.  This afternoon I […]

Early Spring, Late Afternoon

Project 365 – Day 86 Though the grass and leaves are not green yet, blooming trees like Bradford Pears and Red Buds are in full splendor.  Spring is finally making an appearance! X100s, 23mm f/2.0, 1/550 sec @ f/8.0, ISO800

Late Afternoon in Americana

Project 365 – Day 65 Kathy and I met dear friends for dinner tonight, and I had time for a short stroll beforehand.  There are so many rich and interesting things about “Small Town, USA”.  Having grown up in a tiny little town, I instantly connect with and appreciate the charm and personality of each.  […]

Fog Settling In

Project 365 – Day 62 Atlanta weather has been incredibly bipolar of late.  Snow, ice, warm, rain, cold again ….  the only constant has been gray skies and short days.  As the leading edge of a front entered the area today following rain, a heavy fog began to descend at dusk.  City lights glowed brilliantly […]

Everyday Life

Project 365 – Day 36 Much of everyday life in the Atlanta area is spent driving.  Too much.  I suppose it is the trade off we make for suburban life.  I am reminded of my many visits to European metropolitan areas around London, Edinburgh, Prague, and Dublin where walking is so much more the norm.  […]

Fog Sets In

Project 365 – Day 12 Today was quite unique, in that it was extremely foggy all day long.  This photo was taken just after lunch.  Typically in this part of the south the fog would have lifted by then, or else it would have turned into rain.  On this day, it was more Seattle-like than […]

High Museum

Project 365 – Day 3 Kathy and I visited the High Museum for the first time.  I can’t believe we’ve lived here 20 years and haven’t been before now.  It is spectacular and impressive, to say the least.  Our main draw was the Cezanne exhibit, which also included works from Degas and other artists from […]

More Rain

Project 365 – Day 2 This pretty much sums up the holiday weather here … lots of rain and gloom.  However, it has not dampened our spirits or outlook for 2015! Fuji X100s, 23mm f/2.0, 1/550 sec @ f/2.8, ISO800

MARTA Architecture

Project 365 – Day 1 Well, this year I am embarking on a very ambitious goal of capturing an image each day.  Although I am committed to taking a photograph each and every day and will post each, there may be days when I am unable to post here.  In these cases, I will update […]

2014 Final Sunset

Our family had a fantastic Christmas and New Year.  One treat, in addition to the annual trip to TN to visit my brother’s family, was having my best bud Carl spend a week with us.  We all had a great time together.  It’s always fun seeing Carl and spending time with him.  We have so […]
