One photo a day challenge: Day 43. Today I returned to photographing metal framing hardware. I started off trying to intentionally arrange some of the objects I hadn’t photographed before. Eventually I moved to just tossing pieces haphazardly on a canvas and photographing them where they lie. I think I am getting inspired to work more with materials like this. I will just need to acquire more interesting hardware. If you enjoy… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 42. Today I did something a little different for me. When photographing a subject from nature I don’t usually manipulate the subject for my photograph. If I’m photographing a flower I work around the structure of the flower to get the shot I want. Bending around the flower. I don’t usually bend the subject to my will. I try to allow nature to be free from… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 41. Today I decided to get back to one of my favorite subjects, my dogs. I could photograph my dogs all day every day. I love them. They also make great photography subjects for a variety of reasons. They are interesting, funny, and adorable. And most of the time they cooperate for me. No having to search out subjects or wait for the weather to be… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 40. Today was one of those days I really didn’t know what I was going to photograph for my challenge. I wanted to photograph something from my office. The question is what? I felt kind of stuck today. I was looking around my office. The same things kept coming to mind. Looking at similar items that I have photographed before wasn’t helping me. I could photograph… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 39. Sometimes I am actually thinking about what I am going to photograph for this project in advance. I really enjoy photographing flowers. Working with macro flower photography fits well into this challenge. So when we were recently out running errands, I made sure to pick up a flower to photograph while we were at the store. Macro flower photography allows me to stay inside on… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 38. Most of the day today it was gloomy and overcast. There wasn’t any significant sunlight throughout the day. As evening arrived the cloud cleared and the sun was shining through. I began thinking about what I wanted to photograph today. There were a few different options that I was thinking about. Two of the possible subjects could wait to be photographed another day. However, if… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 37. Today I was able to get to one of my favorite state parks for a quick photo session. We had to be out in the Ithaca area so I wanted to swing by Taughannock Falls State Park to capture some images. This state park is known for its amazing waterfall. But, I wanted to capture and image that shows off other points of interest. In… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 36. I really enjoyed my experimentation with photographing bread recently. It has inspired me to try my hand at photographing more food. I like food and I like photography. It seems like a perfect combination. My goal is to create photographs of food that are more creative. For me creative means macro photography usually. And macro on a level where you might not be able to… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 35. Today I went for a run for the first time in a little over a week. It seemed like the perfect time to put together two newer pieces of gear for a test run and see if they would really work the way I was hoping. Unfortunately things did not work out quite the way I had hoped. The gear didn’t quite mesh with my… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 34. Today after yet another snowstorm here in upstate, New York it was nice to see the skies clear up a little bit. Snow storms of course lead to shoveling. I spent an our shoveling after working today. As I was shoveling the clouds finally started to part. I don’t remember the last time I saw the sun. It was nice to have bright skies. I… Read More
