Living in the south, we have very long summers that lead into the fall. When the weather is just right; not to hot and not to dry the leaves start to drop from the trees and we enjoy the colors for a little while. I am afraid that this year things are just going to fall off the trees without much color, so I decided to grap what I could.
Enjoy.
It’s amazing to me that sunsets are so undervalued. They just materialize everyday all over the world. Some are exquisite and some are just very plain, however, all are special.
My perception is that very few people stop to look at what is developing over our heads at the end of any particular day. We are so involved in the “daily grind” that we can’t or don’t look up.
Either I am changing or the sunsets are been so eye catching that I have noticed more and more lately. The bad news is that I have not had my camera with me, so I thought that I would share a sunset that I saw in Denver, CO several years ago.
Not as dramatic as those of late, but very memorable none the less. I am glad that I clicked the shutter and saved it for posterity. It brings me back to a place when things were hectic in my life but that I did remember to stop and appreciate my surroundings.
We should all do this a little more.
Photography, to me, is about seeing details that most people simple walk by or overlook. I find myself looking, more often then not, looking at small and insignificant things. Details don't always tell a whole story. This sometimes leads to a myopic view of what I photograph.
On those few occasions that I do look around to see the grandeur of scene, I just stop and watch the space fill my mind. This courtyard in Savannah, GA is one of those spaces.
As a photographer, I see things a little differently when I am behind the camera. A simple wall becomes something more to me and when you add a reflection into the mix; a thing of beauty.
Been a little lax lately on the posts. Seems like life speeds along, preventing time to photograph or even process images that are sitting in the files. This image was taken on a recent trip to New York.
Although I have been there several times, I have never been satisfied with any images of the Chrysler Building until now. Word of advice, keep plugging a way at that idea in your head until you finally see it in print.
It's nice to have a library of images on hand when the weather outside does not match your mood. You can simple open up a file, pull out a slide or print and just day-dream.
Moving from an old website to a new one is a little nostalgic for me. It has been two years since I started my first website. From the start, I have met some incredible people that have given me some great ideas on web design and helping hands when I needed them.
This is just one more transition in many that we go through in life. As one of those helpful friends has said, " a website is never truely completed" and change is inevitable.
Another change happening soon is a loss for the online photographic community. Nigel Campell is going through some of his own changes. Nigel, you will be missed.
He has assured us that he will be keep us posted through the Pixel Pile community.
For sometime, I have been thinking about adding a weblog for my work and thoughts. Finally, it's here. Although this is not the last of the design changes. It's a good starting point.
