Day 192 - Geranium

2011-07-11T11:29:00.001-07:00

I can never pass up a nice looking flower and this was no exception. This geranium (I think) had such perfect flowers.

Day 191 - Breakfast

2011-07-10T10:26:00.000-07:00

I don't normally eat a big breakfast, I usually just have a small bowl of cereal with low fat milk. Every once in a while though, you've gotta have the big, fattening breakfast. This is the German pancake at Bickford's, with powdered sugar and lemon. This doesn't need syrup and it's still sweet and filling.

Day 190 - Happy Lunch Leftovers

2011-07-09T13:24:00.000-07:00

I know I was taught to never play with my food, but I was done before my wife and arranged this little happy face with my sandwich leftovers. Of course, once I was done, I *HAD* to photograph it.

Day 189 - Pizza

2011-07-08T11:20:00.000-07:00

I have to admit, I really love non-traditional pizza. This is a chicken, broccoli and roasted red pepper deep dish from Uno's...

Day 188 - Symmetrix

2011-07-07T11:34:00.000-07:00

Multiple cabinets of a Symmetrix storage array, shot with my iPhone.

Day 186 - Storage Abstract

2011-07-05T11:30:00.000-07:00

A storage array in the lab at EMC. I shot this with the iPhone by panning it up and down while pressing the shutter.

Day 185 - Happy Fourth

2011-07-04T11:28:00.000-07:00

These flowers sit just outside our front door, and I think they look kinda like fireworks. Since I didn't shoot any actual fireworks, this will have to do.

Day 184 - Happy Puppy

2011-07-03T20:26:00.000-07:00

At a Fourth of July BBQ at a friends house, (yeah, a day early...) one of the guests had this puppy.

2011-07-02T07:09:00.000-07:00

Day 182 - WAM

2011-07-01T20:03:00.000-07:00

Day 181 - Burning Steel Wool

2011-06-30T23:53:00.000-07:00

The Worcester Photography Center has its monthly meet-up on the last Thursday of every month. The topic this month was night photography, and Scott Erb of Erb Photography gave a talk on how to shoot at night. One of the members brought some steel wool and after stuff it into a kitchen wisk and lighting it on fire, he spun it around in a shower of sparks!

Day 180 - Zadie, in lace

2011-06-29T21:58:00.000-07:00

This is an older photo I revisited today and reprocessed to give it a little of an antique feel.

Day 179 - Shooting Union Station

2011-06-28T23:50:00.000-07:00

Spent the evening wandering around Worcester with a friend of mine, shooting some architecture for submission to a juried exhibit at Worcester City Hall. Of course to get this I'm standing in the road, thank goodness the traffic was light...

day 178 - Swordfish for Two

2011-06-27T17:46:00.001-07:00

Day 172 - Corners

2011-06-21T08:02:00.000-07:00

I just happened to like the way the inner corner of this building reflected and the cross of lines.

Day 171 - Love of a Workout

2011-06-20T08:01:00.000-07:00

The floor in the gym has a bunch of tape residue that happens to look like hearts. I like to think its just a way of saying they love working out. :)

Day 170 - Love and Music

2011-06-19T07:16:00.000-07:00

2011-06-17T07:14:00.000-07:00

Day 167 - Benched

2011-06-16T13:12:00.000-07:00

Day 163 - Love and Candy

2011-06-12T11:13:00.000-07:00

A reprocessing of an image I shot at a wedding I was working. The bride and groom has this lovely candy table and I thought the rings would look great on the rock candy.

Day 162 - Inked

2011-06-11T23:11:00.000-07:00

Day 145 - Peter?

2011-05-25T21:41:00.000-07:00

Our front yard seems to be home for the neighborhood bunnies lately. Of course, its been way too wet to mow, so there's lots of overgrowth for them to eat...

Day 144 - Its Still Raining

2011-05-24T14:10:00.001-07:00

Egad, I feel like the sun is never going to come back out. Okay, today we had some sun, but we also had quite a bit of rain again and the leaves are still wet and covered in drops...

2011-05-23T21:00:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure of photographing some of the kids in the dance class at the Walnut Hill School for the Arts today.

2011-05-22T14:39:00.000-07:00

Day 137 - Kelsey

2011-05-17T17:01:00.000-07:00

I photographed Kelsey here in a barn. There is a wide open doorway just behind her, facing left with direct sunlight streaming in, and another wide open doorway directly behind me. There is some bounce off the stone wall, filling in her face just a bit.

Day 136 - Nuts and Bolts

2011-05-13T17:43:00.000-07:00

This image was actually shot on slide film before I transitioned to full digital. Tonight, I scanned it and messed around a bit until I liked the result.

As I was shooting some images of the Sydney Opera House, a thunderstorm rolled in behind it and far enough away that I stayed dry.

Day 132 - Thread

2011-05-12T12:08:00.000-07:00

2011-05-09T16:09:00.000-07:00

Day 119 - Kuma

2011-04-29T17:13:00.000-07:00

Normally, when I photograph pets, I get down on their level and shoot them face to face. However, this time I tried shooting him from above and got him to look up at me.

Day 118 - Plates

2011-04-28T17:19:00.000-07:00

In our kitchen, we have an open plate rack, and a very country theme. I really liked the way the plates stacked up with a shallow depth of field here.
