365.266 a vista I haven’t seen in awhile

I’ve not set foot in a bar in many months. Don’t worry, I’m not drinking, and I’ll give the cigarettes away before I leave. But this seems like as good a place as any to wait for a wake to begin. An old friend passed away last Saturday. The world is much poorer for his …

365.262 vibrant textures

On the way to move laundry from the washer to the dryer this morning, I noticed these pretty little flowers. Within seconds, the iPhone was out of my pocket, the built-in camera app was ready, and I was kneeling on the ground framing up a shot. This could’ve been framed up better, had I laid …

365.259 the Miracle(s) of Jury Duty

First, I must apologize. I made no attempt to make a good picture for the 365 today, nor did I attempt to learn anything new about making pictures. Second, I must apologize again, because this post will be rather lengthy. Given that few of you read my posts anyway, the uninspiring picture is unlikely to …

Dallas Skyline Meetup

The North Texas Photography Explorers MeetUp Group met up last night in the Trinity River bottoms between Oak Cliff and Downtown.

365.232 in the zone

  Given the afternoon I have ahead of me—ice cream and movie at work that will keep me 2+ hours late, traffic due to lateness, cleaning momma’s house, etc.—it seems unlikely that I’ll have the energy or will ttlo shoot later. How fortuitous, then, that I decided to make this picture of myself earlier, fully …

365.223 Introverted Streetog, perhaps

Well, I took the day off work to wait for some workmen to come rip up the bedroom floor, chop through the foundation, and repair a broken pipe for the complex’s air conditioner. Somehow, a day at home in the middle of the week is much less exciting/engaging than a weekend day… But I did …

365.218 The New Oil/Crosswalk to Nowhere

Gotta love that magic iPhone flare! I arrived a bit early to work today, and slow-walked my way in, took some pictures of the empty parking lot and all, and generally took it easy getting in. It’s been awhile since I managed to get almost perfect flare on the iPhone! I’m loving it. Also: given …
