One photo a day challenge: Day 63. Something I always struggle with in my photography is the conflict between trying to photograph something new and returning to the familiar. Should I look for new things to photograph or stick with things that I love? There are so many things I love in life. I always want to photograph these familiar loves. I know what to expect and they bring me peace and… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 62. Today was grocery day. That means it was the perfect opportunity to acquire a new subject for todays photographs. The store always has a nice selection of flowers. When photographing flowers indoor I prefer lighter colored flowers because that requires less light, which there typically is less of indoors. The flowers I selected for todays photographs was a bouquet of purple carnations. To photograph the… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 61. I am so happy that spring is getting close. It is finally the time of year, where it is still plenty light out on my commute home that I can stop and create some photos before going home. I stopped down at the trails by Chemung River again. The warm weather had melted a good bit of the snow and I wanted to see how… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 60. Over the weekend the weather was so nice for the winter. Today the longer the day went on the worse the weather got. The wind was whipping. I drove through several bands of snow on my commute. The temperatures were starting to drop. The forecast was for temps in the teens over night. I decided to stop at the park on my way home to… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 59. I can’t believe that this closes out two straight months I have been doing this project now. I don’t know where this will take me but I am really enjoying the process. Sometimes you can try to make the photo happen. But sometimes the best photos happen when you just let the subject do what comes natural. Peaches is a very friendly cat. She always… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 58. Today was a day like I haven’t had many of this winter. My wife and I got out of the house and spent most of the day outside enjoying some nature. We were able to visit two of New York’s Finger Lakes. The weather was supposed to be unseasonably warm. Thawing our region out of the deep freeze of ice and snow packed tightly across… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 57. Today I actually did one of the things I have been wanting to do much more of, but have actually done almost none of. Today I went for a run. And on that run I carried my camera with me. During the run I stopped and took photographs and enjoyed the scenery. I recently invested in gear I wanted to use specifically for the purpose… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 56. A lot of my winter photography has centered around trees. I am not sure exactly what it is that draws me to trees. Is it the contrast between the straight lines of tree trunks and the random sprouting twists and turns of their branches? Is it the wide variety of textures that can be found across different tree trunks or within the tree trunk of… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 55. I find this phot so amusing. It is not the most technically sound photo. But for me it just pushes all the right buttons. Photographing on of our cats today. She is usually pretty cooperative. Doesn’t move around too much. Pretty much stays in place. Today after I had taken several photos she acted like she realized what I was doing. She took notice of… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 54. After a day working in the home office I really wanted to get outside for a little while before sunset. I wanted to go for a hike, but I did not want to spend too much of the fleeting daylight getting there. I drove down off our hill. Across the river valley. Then drove back up the other side of the valley. I went to… Read More
