365 Project - Day 137 - "Quiet Camera"

May 17, 2013 - "Quiet Camera"

My only shot of the day: My camera resting quietly.

It wasn't supposed to be that way. We were supposed to be at a local church carnival tonight - where I'd be taking lots of photos while the kids had fun. BUT - one kid got himself grounded and the other kid decided that she was in a foul mood... so I guess it was not meant to be.

It was a great night for shooting... perfect weather and spectacular views. This shot is looking downtown - with the Empire State Building at the left and, far in the background, the World Trade Center still under construction.

I did both color and black and white versions of this image... but preferred the tone of the black and white.

365 Project - Day 125 - "For Jim..."

May 05, 2013 - "For Jim..."

Today I'm in a complete state of shock after being told that my friend Jim Clark passed away.

Few people I know were as funny and sarcastically wonderful as Jim.

Few people I know loved movies as much as Jim... hence today's image... a shot of some of my favorites as a tribute to a wonderful man.

Jim... Rest in Peace knowing that you will be greatly missed by all of us who love you! You will NEVER be forgotten!

365 Project - Day 116 - "Ready for Work"

April 26, 2013 - "Ready for Work"

Sitting at the desk... I'm ready for work.

Let me say that again: I'M READY FOR WORK.

That's an important statement... because prior to this week it has been a long time since I've been ready for work. It has been a long time since I was able to be ready for work. It has been a long time since I've been ready for much of anything, period.

But things have changed.

I feel better than I have felt in months... if not years!

I feel like "me" again...

... and I'm ready for work.

365 Project - Day 114 - "Looking Up (Homework)"

April 24, 2013 - "Looking Up (Homework)"

This image is part of a homework assignment for my photography class. The assignment: Take a photo of the view from any window at night.

Well... I don't like the view from my windows... so I decided to stage a scene to make it more interesting. This is the view from my kitchen window... with my wife as a model, looking up at the sky.

I don't know if I'm going to use this image for the assignment or not... but there it is anyway.
