Locked Doors

Here's another image that falls into the Simple, Yet Interesting file. I walk or drive past this scene every day...literally. Every day, people pass by simple scenes and pay them no attention. We've grown accustomed to "tunnel vision", not seeing the simple things that allow us to slow down and enjoy life...instead of speeding through it.

A Wee Bit of Snow

Since starting this project, I've slowly been learning to look at things differently. I look for the images that I normally would overlook, or shrug off as "not interesting". However, I give credit to my expanding imagination...and my friend, Paul Michael Kane. He's a professional photographer I had the opportunity to meet at an event not long ago. His influence has definately had an effect on me. I looked at this simple fence post with a little snow on it and thought..."I like the way this looks". It's different...it's simple.

Snow Day in America

Ahh...the beginning of a record amount of snowfall! This image was taken after two bouts of shoveling that day. I love getting images of the American Flag...whether if n a cemetery or on top of buildings downtown. I saw the snow piled up on my neighbor's lawn, her van, and porch roof...as well as my van. I thought that the whole seen is bleak and blah...but the colors of the flag made a POP in the image. i liked it.

A Glow in the Snow

In my travels the other night, I spotted this light post that was almost completely hidden the snow and bending branches. When I processed the original image...I didn't like it. No matter what I did to adjust the colors, it just kept coming out with a "blah" kind of look. However, I've found that many images can be saved, and even become a great image, by converting it to black & white. Of course, a splash of color from the lantern helped. I think it turned out pretty nice.

Bucket of Snow

After the Snow Storm we got on Saturday, I grabbed my camera and went fro a walk through the snow covered streets. I found this small pot hanging off a fence. I just thought it looked like a neat shot, so I took it.

I shot this with my Nikon D60 with an exposure of 1/50 of a second at f/5, ISO 100. I used my Nikon 55 - 200 VR lens.

Red and Green

This image was captured down in Philly, near Boat House Row. My wife and I were taking a stroll along the river when I saw these huge red leaves sticking out among a wall of green. I'm doing a little project for myself, involving capturing my interpritation of random words that were given to me from friends. I chose this image to represent the word "Red".

Bare Teeth

A while ago, my wife and I took a "sick" day, and headed to downtown Philly for a day out, taking in the sites that we never take time to see...even though they'r eminutes away from where we live. As we wondered around, we came across this guy out in the open. Ther ewasn't a marker or plate to tell us any information, and it looked like part of the statue was missing. So, I played the part of a Gladiator and took a shot where the big cat was looking.... I think it came out kinda cool.
