Comments about Dusk…and one other thing

That’s my Mundo pictured above; it’s parked in one of my usual spots at the health club (I commented on this parking spot previously at this post). I came out of the club this evening at just about 6pm and saw the incredible blue hue you see in all of these photos; none are adulterated.Continue reading “Comments about Dusk…and one other thing”

A Solitary Walk (Playing with Angle and Light: Three Street Scenes)

I like to walk; it clears my head. When I’m on a bike I have to pay attention to my surroundings but when I walk I can do just that…walk. Tonight I had some thoughts that were troubling me so I thought I’d go for a brisk walk on this chilly (32F/0C) and wet FebruaryContinue reading “A Solitary Walk (Playing with Angle and Light: Three Street Scenes)”

A Few Buildings

One of the (many) things I enjoy is walking around cities and looking at the architecture…and this is true for my own city as well…I rarely tire of it. For being a small city, Buffalo has an impressive history with equally impressive architecture…these photos are just a smattering of it (I could fill pages). Anyhow,Continue reading “A Few Buildings”

Three Photos of Water and a Few Words to Describe Them

Top to bottom…a railing I had my bike locked to, the top bar of my Mundo, and a railing on my porch. Click any photo for a larger view. Urban Simplicity.

Five Photos of Snow and Cold

As mentioned in a previous post, we got a good taste of winter last night and today…frigid temperatures and a fair amount of snow. I wasn’t out a great deal–just enough to enjoy it–but I did snap a few photos. Even though the above photo was the last I took I chose to place itContinue reading “Five Photos of Snow and Cold”

Beauty in the Mundane: Five Photos of Vegetables, Ground, and Sky

The above photo, “Five Baby Carrots,” is an image of a few of the carrots I’ll be serving as part of a crudité tomorrow…carrots come in a lot of amazing colors (beautiful aren’t they). The next three photos are things I saw on the ground while walking: “Lone Acorn in the Evening Sun,” “Bent Grate”Continue reading “Beauty in the Mundane: Five Photos of Vegetables, Ground, and Sky”

Four More Photos and a Few Words About Them

The sky tonight is/was incredible…or more specifically, the full moon in a crystal clear sky was incredible. And as I gazed at it I couldn’t help think of all the people in the northern hemisphere that could see this very same orb in the sky just as I did. Anyhow, the picture above shows theContinue reading “Four More Photos and a Few Words About Them”

A Few Things I Saw Today

I’ve used this comparison before but have to mention it again…you see a lot more when on a bike than in a car but you see ten times that when you walk. Because, like a car, when you ride a bike you have to stay in control–or at  least keep the bike in control lestContinue reading “A Few Things I Saw Today”

A Few Photos and a Few Words

Dusk and dawn are my two favorite parts of the day; the first signs of the beginning of a new day or the end of the current one…and the light is incredible. The above photo (Big Sky) I took last evening. As I rounded the corner on my bike the scene before me–or more accurately,Continue reading “A Few Photos and a Few Words”

Things You Notice When You’re Bored

Firstly I have to say that I am rarely bored…if I’m not doing something my mind still is, it is for this reason I’ll often watch a movie, simply to go on vacation from myself. With that said, yesterday was one of the infrequent times I can honestly say I became bored, but I believeContinue reading “Things You Notice When You’re Bored”

Five Photos of NYC (with a few words)

You’ve probably gathered by now that I enjoy taking urban photography. The opportunity is seemingly limitless, even in my tiny hometown. But I was in NYC this weekend–just a quick overnight jaunt–and was like a kid in a candy store…I see art and photos almost everywhere I look and have to consciously put my cameraContinue reading “Five Photos of NYC (with a few words)”

A Few Photos of Snow, Slush, and Rain

  I’ve commented a few times recently on what wacky weather we’ve had this winter, it seems to change daily…but today hourly. The above photo and the one immediately below were taken this morning as I left for work. It had snowed a little overnight and there was ice on the roads, but as theContinue reading “A Few Photos of Snow, Slush, and Rain”

A Few Random Photos

Here’s a few random photos I’ve taken over the last few days. The one above and immediately below were taken this evening, and were in fact the reason of this post…the sunset was so incredible–even on a cold night and in an inner city–that I felt the need to share it. They were both takenContinue reading “A Few Random Photos”

A Few Photos of Winter

Winter, I think, is an amazing time to take photos…an amazing time in general, especially with the crazy weather we’ve had this year. The contrast of color-to-bleak and lush-to-stark inspires me. The above photo (birds in a tree) was taken yesterday when we had crazy-strong wind gusts…the birds just swayed back and forth in theContinue reading “A Few Photos of Winter”

Naturally Translucent (a few photos of snow and trees)

Shortly after writing my somewhat self-righteous post this morning about commuting to work in the snow I ended up using my truck anyhow. The reason I mention this is that in an indirect way it influenced these photos, or at least influence me taking them. But I’m jumping ahead. I drove my truck because myContinue reading “Naturally Translucent (a few photos of snow and trees)”

La Luna

Technically, the moon was full two nights ago but I took these last night when it was waning (it still looked pretty full to me). I have always been drawn to a full moon…not sure why, it just fascinates me looming so large in the sky. Anyhow, last night I was out on the MundoContinue reading “La Luna”
