This is the center field wall to Engel Stadium. It was once home to our local Chattanooga Lookouts – before a newer stadium was built. It was used recently to film portions of the movie, “42.” The Jackie Robinson Story. So, apparently the stadium is now undergoing a restoration. I had to stop and shootContinue reading “Engel Stadium – Snapshot of the Day, No. 81”

East 17th Street – Snapshot of the Day, No. 80
I saw this mural today and decided to pull over. When I got out, I was hoping someone would come by – so I looked to my right; and by golly, here came a man walking a bicycle! Good luck for me! This was on East 17th Street in the Southside. Right off of MainContinue reading “East 17th Street – Snapshot of the Day, No. 80”
Sugar’s – Snapshot of the Day, No. 77
I saw this girl sweeping the entrance to Sugar’s Ribs today and instantly knew she’d be my Snapshot of the Day. But I did not want her to go back inside before I got her photo, so I quickly did a meter reading for the shade and then lifted my camera and shot. I hadContinue reading “Sugar’s – Snapshot of the Day, No. 77”
Morning Light – Snapshot of the Day, No. 76
I was out early this morning and had some time to kill before I went to work, so I went over to the Hunter Museum of American Art to see if I could find anything to shoot. This fence has always attracted me, but the light hitting the columns on the original Hunter Museum mansionContinue reading “Morning Light – Snapshot of the Day, No. 76”
Buehler’s Market – Snapshot of the Day, No. 75
This is Buehler’s Food Market on Market Street downtown. Close to Panera and Taco Mac. I LOVE going in here because it reminds me of shopping with my mother at the M&J when I was a kid. It even has that same grocery store smell you just don’t get with modern stores today. It hasContinue reading “Buehler’s Market – Snapshot of the Day, No. 75”
Office Supplies – Snapshot of the Day, No. 73
Cooper’s Office Supply on Cherry Street had some great reflections in their widows today. So! I stood there – focused and ready for someone to walk by. And I waited. So I strolled out onto the sidewalk and noticed no one in sight. I looked for another photo of the day opportunity when this guyContinue reading “Office Supplies – Snapshot of the Day, No. 73”
Coffee House – Snapshot of the Day, No. 70
In our Bluff View Art District, there is a coffee house called Rembrandt’s. They have great coffee and desserts. That is where I found myself today on my daily scouting for a photo. It is not easy finding and determining my photo. Especially since I only give myself one shot. This one was a no-brainer,Continue reading “Coffee House – Snapshot of the Day, No. 70”
Home Security – Photo No. 38
Not having much time left on my stroll through the Fort Wood neighborhood, I settled on shooting this tricycle. I was annoyed by the sign in the yard being too close to the trike – until I actually read what it said. Then I laughed. I’m sure intruders are not too intimidated by the warning.
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”
