Meteorologists were forecasting a tiny bit of snow, but surprisingly it turned into 3″-4″ of beautiful winter wonder. Significant, but short lived (which bodes best for us in the south!). I couldn’t resist getting out for a quiet walk in the woods at the nearby park. Textures, forms, and shapes abound with several inches of snow layered on top, not to mention lots of contrast begging for a B&W treatment.

Wooded Winter Wonderland
I’ve photographed and posted this location multiple times, but it continues to draw me back time and again. The architectural lines are incredible, but also, east/west walkthrough and structure of the buildings creates so many different lighting situations, depending on time of day and year. This was taken on a sunny mid-day.

A revisit to an old friend. This is such a fun place to photograph, and this time around, it was even better because I was able to share the experience with my friend Carl. Thanks for visiting, bud!

Abstract images have always caught my attention, maybe because they evoke a question of mystery and what lies within. On a recent walk to my bus stop after work, I came to this familiar corner with an awesome restaurant space with patio. The restaurant recently closed, unfortunately. I peered inside one of the windows, and while doing so, noticed the photo possibilities presented through its reflections. I tried several concepts and watched carefully for placement of pedestrians, and this one with the close-up gentleman (among other elements) became my favorite.

After a gray, dreary day, clouds broke at dusk to reveal a calmingly colorful sky.

In addition to time with family, it was great getting out and about during our Columbia, TN holiday visit. I love small towns like Columbia because of their unique charm and slower pace of life. Things are especially quiet just after sunrise.

Throughout my childhood and teen years, I played tons of tennis, baseball and basketball at this hometown park. I spent more time here than I can imagine calculating. While on a recent visit, I had fun checking out the park for the first time in decades. The configuration of fields and courts have changed, but the feel and essence are as if I walked off the court moments ago.
