The assignment for today’s post is “glass”. Glass conjures up a lot of images for me: transparency, fragility, vision, protection from the outside world. The concept that stuck with me for the photos, however, was “reflection”. It’s a Lenten thing, I guess. In this context glass helps you to see who you are and how…

Today’s theme is “treasure.” This was an easy one for me to figure out. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew:5:21) My heart resides with these little guys, my three grandsons. And although I am no longer in control of where or when I can see two of the three of…

In anticipation of spring and summer, and harking back to our earlier assignment regarding scale, I thought this critter would be a good subject. Don’t invite him to your picnic, though!

Today’s assignment is to concentrate on landscapes. Given the dump we received on the first day of spring, I thought it appropriate to revert to the black-and-white composition once again, since there is not a whole lot of color in the landscape yet in my part of the world. I did find a bit of…

Today’s assignment was “Scale”. I had hoped to shoot some images on the local golf course, with the ball, the pin, and the hole all lined up in accordance with the “rule of thirds.” Mother Nature thought that was pretty hilarious, so I had to improvise a bit and create my own “hole”. Maybe I…

Today’s assignment was to capture “motion” and also a “moment”. Motion is a subject I used to spend a lot of time trying to capture effectively, when I attended Formula 1 races in Watkins Glen. These photos also capture a “moment” for me, as these races were an activity I enjoyed attending every year with my…

Today’s assignment was to capture architecture, and experiment with a more monochromatic approach to lighting. Thanks to Photoshop’s capabilities, it is not too difficult to render an image in black and white, and compare it to the original color image. I didn’t quite do that here, but I took two very similar shots, and converted…
