A site favorite. Design elements, real-world, and kind of abstract.

Playing around with light. The composition could use more, and better placement.

Thanks to the owner for letting me take some candid shots. Upon meeting, he pressed his body against my leg trustingly.

It’s hard not to like a breed like that.

A middle-of-the-road photo.

Same ol’ places.

There is a gold light in certain old paintings’

There is a gold light in certain old paintings
That represents a diffusion of sunlight.
It is like happiness, when we are happy.
It comes from everywhere and from nowhere at once, this light,
            And the poor soldiers sprawled at the foot of the cross
            Share in its charity equally with the cross.

Orpheus hesitated beside the black river.
With so much to look forward to he looked back.
We think he sang then, but the song is lost.
At  least he had seen once more the  beloved back.
              I say the song went this way: O prolong
             Now the sorrow if that is all there is to prolong.

The world is very dusty, uncle. Let us work.
One day the sickness shall pass from the earth for good.
The orchard will bloom; someone will play the guitar.
Our work will be seen as strong and clean and good.
              And all that we suffered through having existed
              Shall be forgotten as though it had never existed.

–Donald Justice

A real photo close to home (they’re all in-camera and real…but with the AI these days…).

Some people like this kind of thing. Most will find it boring and unremarkable.

Addition: Of course, maybe it is boring and unremarkable.

He might believe the gesture is to someone, but to me, there is no one.

Just practicing using the foreground as a framing device. This is probably the best one. Thanks for looking.

Just practicing some design elements. Thanks for stopping by and for looking.

This is from about Union Street south to Jefferson Street in the business district, where on the weekends it really empties out.

The light is a little overexposed.

Thanks for looking.

Actual light and fog on Thanksgiving morning…

Seagulls are dainty eaters, never shuffling past unsuspecting humans, hoping to gobble some unguarded food.

Humble birds, really.
