a blog in search of creativity… and dedicated to my mother for her artistic inspiration
Ever since our tree hit our house, we have had new light coming into the kitchen in the morning.
Well it was just a limb; albeit a pretty large one, but it definitely has affected the light in the kitchen.
I thought it was pretty hitting my bedroom slippers this morning.
I’ve always liked this street – Cherry Street. It’s got an old-world charm to it.
I had a few extra minutes today at work, so I slipped out in search of a good photo. Nothing was really presenting itself to me, so I put the ole’ Lensbaby on the camera and made the scene a little bit spooky.
A man on a cell phone walked down the sidewalk, smiled and said, “Be sure to take a good photo!”
I said, “I’m trying!”
Sometimes it’s easy and other times it’s not.
This was taken on the Ruth Holmberg Pedestrian Bridge near the Hunter Museum of American Art. Parts of it are clear plexiglass so you can see the cars going by below the bridge while you walk.
This little boy was initially skeptical about crossing, but his father (I’m assuming) coaxed him along.
I had to run to Southeastern Salvage today for a prop for a photo and could not resist taking a photo of this mirror section.
This warehouse has all kinds of stuff from all over the world – AND free popcorn and lemonade on the weekend. What more could you want?
So, while out picking blackberries today, we encountered several cool creatures. One was this little dragonfly who did not seem to be afraid of me. He amazingly stood still long enough for me to get his photo.
He was so small, I only got a chance to see what he really looks like when I shot the photo and looked on the back of the screen.
Once I shot the photo, he was off chasing other dragons.
The few minutes I have to myself each day is in the morning. I usually use that time to wake up, get rid of my daily caffeine headache and do various chores.
This morning was no different – except I noticed I might be able to shoot my snapshot of the day early.
Two self-portraits in a row. Hmm. Oh well. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
I couldn’t resist shooting this. It’s a direct copy of a photo by my new favorite photographer, Vivian Maier. But since I couldn’t find anything else, I decided to use it as a tribute to her.
Be sure to check out the trailer of an upcoming documentary on her life. There is also a new book coming out this fall of her self-portraits.
In case you care, my other favorite photographers are Sally Mann and Diane Arbus.
I was given these bottles years ago, but I recently found them packed away in a box – where they’ve been for the past four and a half years.
I had forgotten I even had them. Which makes me wonder, if half of the stuff I own was gone, would I even miss it?
Probably not.
My father and I went to lunch together today at Nikki’s – An old-fashioned diner.
I could not resist taking a photo of these two having lunch together. I’m assuming they are father and son.
Location, location, location.
This sign just needs better placement.
I’m assuming Crave is a new food vendor in the basement of Warehouse Row; but I have not been inside in quite a while, so I’m not really sure. This was shot after hours, so I’ll have to return during operating hours.
