The whole shootin’ match.

Commute, Photos

Can’t always say why

I’ve said it several times before, but stopping for a few minutes during the hectic commute and hoping to get a good photo is a crap shoot. Today, I rolled the dice and came up with an image I really have no explanation for why I like it. But like it I do. No doubt, the splash of “burgundy” (or however that color reads on your monitor) is what initially caught my eye–there was nothing else that color in the whole panorama. Hmm? I guess I said why.

Sunday laundry

Two personal things: I do my own laundry and we don’t have a dryer. When the dryer finally wore out several years back we decided to make do without. We got some solar dryers (aka, a clothes line and a wood rack) and never looked back. When it’s raining, we rack dry in the house. The rest of the time it’s solar all the way. And, what can I say, I like doing my own laundry. Here’s a shot of the last load of the day just before I brought it in.

Step on a crack

Saturday, after a band rehearsal, we chilled on the patio enjoying a couple of beers. I had my G11 handy and snapped all kinds of quirky, close-up shots. The fun of this kind of shooting is that occasionally something reveals itself. This simple image (plus my usual Photoshop/Nik Silver Efex techniques) worked for me.
