Dogs Go Shopping – Snapshot of the Day, no. 33

My two current inspirations for photography are Vivian Maier and Katie Quinn Davies’ “What Katie Ate” blog. Vivian’s work blows me away – and I can’t get enough. I’ve even signed up for the newsletter so I can keep up with the latest images released. (They are also working on a documentary of her life.Continue reading “Dogs Go Shopping – Snapshot of the Day, no. 33”

In Front of the Red Curtain – No. 32

I took entirely too long to find a photo today, but it was too cold for anyone to be out – and the light was not good in most places. I usually only give myself about 10 minutes per day, but it just wasn’t appearing today. I have always loved the red of this building,Continue reading “In Front of the Red Curtain – No. 32”

The Deli Counter – Snapshot no. 31

I ran out of time – and light – today, so I decided to take my camera into the store with me when I was on my way home from work. I stood in produce for a while, but could never quite find the right shot. I turned around and saw these women and smiled.Continue reading “The Deli Counter – Snapshot no. 31”

Bonnie – No. 30

We went for a walk in my old neighborhood today and met this lovely lady, Bonnie. We had a nice chat as we walked with her before she turned around to go back home. I think this shot would have been better with a longer lens, but I did not have one with me. OhContinue reading “Bonnie – No. 30”

Under the House – Snapshot of the Day, no. 29

We’ve been renovating my old house for about a year now. Today we were under the house trying to re-connect an outside faucet – on the opposite side of the house from this entrance. The total renovation, complete with photos and “fun” stories, will be a future post.

Office Wall – Snapshot of the Day, No. 28

It was a tough day at work. I literally had a couple of seconds to find my Photo of the Day. So I turned around and shot the back wall of my office, and then went back to work.

Story of the Day – Favorite Quotes

I interrupt this Snapshot of the Day series with a Story of the Day. There have been lots of great quotes throughout history, but my 3 favorites (at the moment, at least) are these: Going to war without France, is like going hunting without your accordion. — Jed Babbin Jerry! You know I’ve always wanted toContinue reading “Story of the Day – Favorite Quotes”

Seventh and Market – Shot of the Day, no. 27

My plan today was to shoot an entryway into a cafe that is inside one of our downtown buildings. To my surprise, it no longer exists. Great. So I turned around and shot a gentleman walking down the street. Ironically, I used to work in the building on the left back in the early 80s.Continue reading “Seventh and Market – Shot of the Day, no. 27”

The Cleaning Lady – Snapshot of the Day, No. 26

There is something about this food court that keeps bringing me back. When it first opened in the newly remodeled Warehouse Row, I would walk down from where I work to get design ideas for my husband’s and my new home. I love looking down on these typewriter key stools and watching people talking andContinue reading “The Cleaning Lady – Snapshot of the Day, No. 26”

Medical collection – Photo no. 25

This is a collection of antique forceps and other medical instruments from the estate of Dr. William O. Campbell, a local doctor who recently passed away. Dr. Campbell spent over 40 years amassing this collection of about 10,000 items which date from the 16th century to present day. He logged and numbered every item he bought,Continue reading “Medical collection – Photo no. 25”
