Time

I call this Time and I'm not sure if I title it as a verb, noun, or adjective. And I don't know if I like time or not. For something that could go on forever, I find it restrictive amongst other things.
I get engrossed in it, fascinated, and frustrated.

When I approached this subject, the image I made wasn't there. In fact, I was pissed to the type of day we had and the tide was in. After I stumbled into the image, I realized my problem was I was looking for something else. I don't know right now what that was, but reminded myself to be open and see what opportunity I might have.

I have two images. The first is what was there to see. The second, is what was made. If your thinking Photoshop, your stupid.

I'm Back

Ok so I took a vacation from the blog to .... do something. I haven't visited this sight since my last post in December. Ugh, I'll change things up to suit the pic, pix, or whatever. Not necessarily doing a new thing, and I may not do a daily pic, but, we could find several in a day and I may start posting people pix that I need to share. It's my Web Log, I'll do anything I want (My Mom see's the blog so I'll be good).

I have thousands, possibly trillions of images to share, no particular order. We're off...

Chandelier

Luckily, this image was taken right off the side of the road although I had to go in to shoot it. The interior didn't interest me at all, in fact, it looked pretty bad, but this fixture stood out. Seemed out of place. I moved quickly, before anyone could tell me to stop, and found a good angle with a background that wouldn't wreck the shot. People did watch but nobody seemed to care. I guess they thought I was a tourist and figured, "whatever" and let me do my thing. I took a couple of images and was happy with this.

Late Autumn

Just a week or two earlier and this view wouldn't be possible. The corn would have been in the way. I remember trying to make an image of this place before and this angle never seemed right although it interested me. I guess removing the corn made it. Now I see more layers rather than the tall corn waiting to be chopped. This field was pretty clean of corn. I hope a little was left for the deer in late winter.

Rotting Trucks

The front end of these trucks were covered pretty good and the home of the owners within view so that ruled out a frontal shot. I had to try to do something. I got low and included the leaves and this helped rid some of the sky. It makes me think how soon these trucks will be part of the ground, rather than the landscape. No more potatoes for theses guys.

Weathered Trees

I know these trees have taken a beating over the years. Luckily they're in a tree friendly neighborhood. I looked at these, and others around, and most had good full limbs of leaves. They were my original target, but I kept turning around and thinking of the ugly flower shot. I then decided to go to work here. They look skeletal, naked, and cold. If I were a bird, I'd be happy to live in the hole in the upper right, until the tree falls over of course.

Ribbon Stop

I was headed into the Stop and Shop when I noticed this. I'll admit, I didn't stop, but I did decided to make an image after I did my business in the store. The wreaths by chance were in a good spot for a little snow from the night before, but not to much. The red repeating itself is good, but I like the cool blue in the upper left corner also. Purchasing a wreath would have ruined the composition.

Waiting

This is one of my favorite places to shoot because of the mountains and light, or fog, whatever seems to drift in here. Western Mass is quite an area for photography as it has the mountains, rushing streams, and farm land. There's also good places to eat, and warm up. I have a series I've been doing of John Deere tractors and although this one wasn't at work, it was ready to go as usual. Sometimes I wish I could hop on and chop some corn. I love stuff like that.

Baby Ferns

This was a bright sunny chilly morning with hard direct sun. I almost didn't know what to do with it. The only thing I saw (or couldn't get out of my mind) was this little patch of baby ferns at the top of my driveway. A regular shot wasn't doing it for me. So I played.

Snow Trees

This was the first snow of the season, way late. We didn't get much, so I decided to try to make something of what was where, if that makes any sense. I liked how the light was sweeping across this tree line and also the contrast of the snow with the darker background. /...
