  • Things On The Ground

    I always say look up, look down, look all around. You never know what you’ll see. In this case I looked almost straight ahead seeking the long view. I saw these clumps off stuff, storm leavings, all over what is a former basketball court. More about that tomorrow. The stuff in this picture are all…

  • Four Days Gone

    The work is the prayer.

  • Lines and Angles

    Look up, look down, look behind you, look everywhere. I always suggest that to new photographers. You’ve read it here about sunsets. Sure, go ahead and photograph it, but turn around and see what that wonderful sunlight is illuminating. I looked up. That’s the ceiling of a gentrified former factory building. The light golden wood…

  • Then This

    R unning errands, I needed a place to park for just a few minutes. So I parked here. I hate to say this, but the sign is meaningless. Unless it is posted by the city or county it has no legal status. Still, normally that doesn’t matter for me. I woudn’t park here. I just…

  • Another World

    I needed a break so I took one. The week has been depressing and it wasn’t getting any better so I went inside. Deep inside. I’ve been having very weird colorful dreams so I used a catcher, like a dream catcher and caught one. This is what I caught. I think. In truth I made…

  • Somewhere Under Heaven

    T his is a New Mexico picture. Sometimes I just see shapes and I want to see what they look when I photograph them. I’d forgotten this picture until Amazon found it some buried sub-archive. Boy, was I happily surprised. I’d tell you that this is an adobe wall, but it is not. It is some…

  • Different Kinds Of Light

    T here haven’t been very many new pictures made this week. I haven’t been inspired or pushed out the door, which is the usual fix. I was working in my so-called digital studio when I saw the afternoon light playing on the walls. I just photographed what I saw. You are seeing some of it…

  • Little Pictures

    L ittle pictures. Details. Something to show the texture of a place. You’d think they would be the easiest to find and see. They aren’t. Usually, you see them on the way back from whatever caught your eye in the first place. In a design piece they are often called point pictures which is the…

  • It Takes You

    There’s an elegance to this flower that I like a lot. It made me think of a reversed bell. That’s not why I photographed it. I did that because it was wet, although you can barely see the water drops. Never the less, that’s what caught my eye especially since there isn’t a lot of…
