Washed Away

With time any reminder that we were here will be washed away.

Something Simple

Some days I just go out with my camera and photograph whatever comes my way, or doesn't for that matter. I'm not after clutter (unless that's the subject), but rather something simple.

Shape

Architecture can be a challenge to photograph. Not in the sense of walking up to it, setting the proper exposure and pushing the shutter. Often, buildings are cluttered by their surroundings, which makes it hard to take them in. If you slow down and look you will see small things, the details that went into the structure. The elements that work together creating the whole. It's then you will find that there is a lot to photograph. Then the challenge becomes capturing the essence of the building and not setting the exposure and pushing the shutter.

Colour

Strong colour can be a photographic subject all by itself. I find it interesting to see what types of reactions I get to photographs, and find that the ones with lots of colour fair well. Good subject matter helps a lot too.

Sailing Off

We all have them, days where nothing, and I mean nothing seems to go right,
and you think "Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship" and get me out of here!

That's what I thought of when I saw this tallship off the California Coast.
And I was having one of those... Until I looked up and say this!

Rainy Days

A rainy day is no excuse not to go out and take photographs. Just keep your camera dry and an eye out for things just asking to have their picture taken.

Design

Old cars are fun to photograph. They pose their own unique challenges with capturing the lighting, shadows and reflections properly. I find that they make great studies in design, as they contain so many graphic elements that the sum of the parts are often greater than the whole.
