Poison ivy grows on a mausoleum in the Forest Hills Cemetery in Chattanooga. It’s a very old cemetery, and there are a lot of locally famous people buried there. The primary reason I went there to shoot a photo was because there is a statue of a woman there that looks just like me. It’sContinue reading “Mausoleum Ivy – Snapshot of the Day, No. 270”

Yesterday and Today, Snapshot of the Day, No. 269
This is an exterior wall of the former Ross Hotel in downtown Chattanooga. It is currently up for sale if anyone is interested. But the bottom portion of it used to contain one of our old stomping grounds called, “Yesterday’s.” That was over 30 years ago. Argh. Seems like…..well, yesterday. I had no idea it usedContinue reading “Yesterday and Today, Snapshot of the Day, No. 269”
The Real Thing, Backwards – Snapshot of the Day, No. 268
I woke up early with a headache this morning, so I decided to explore the settings of my new iphone upgrade. I mostly played around with the camera settings. I’m trying my hand at art photography again. Not bad, but I think I’ll stick with the 35mm.
There Are No Words – Snapshot of the Day, No. 267
I apologize for the same subject two days in a row – but this one HAD to be posted. I was working in the yard earlier today when I looked up and saw this scene. My first thought was, “What on earth is he looking at?” My second thought was: Where’s my camera? But IContinue reading “There Are No Words – Snapshot of the Day, No. 267”
Dim Bulb – Snapshot of the Day, No. 266
Actually, he’s not a “dim bulb,” at all. Murray is quite smart. He just looks dumb here. He had surgery on his eye and hip last week, so today was the day to get the stitches out….and to take off his lamp shade – or “Crown,” as we call it. He was waiting Not SoContinue reading “Dim Bulb – Snapshot of the Day, No. 266”
Scenes From a Diner – Snapshot of the Day, No. 265
This is the window from the Cherry Street Diner – formally the original Krystal Building in downtown Chattanooga. The soldier eating by himself bothered me a bit. Perhaps he was waiting on someone.
Pipes – Snapshot of the Day, No. 264
One of the storefronts I have photographed for this project – Buckle Co. – has bitten the dust. So, the new owners / tenants are renovating it. Or maybe Buckle Co. is renovating. I do not know. I also don’t know what the deal is with these pipe elbows. Why? How many turns will theContinue reading “Pipes – Snapshot of the Day, No. 264”
Green Bug – Snapshot of the Day, No. 263
While framing up my intended photo of the day, I noticed this little guy. Too bad I didn’t get him in focus. One shot, one chance. Too bad for me.
Skylights – Snapshot of the Day, No. 262
I had to go to the mailbox today, which is outside of the newspaper where I work, and decided to take the long way back inside. I could not help but notice what a gorgeous day it was, so I snapped this image as I made my way back in. Good thing, too. I probablyContinue reading “Skylights – Snapshot of the Day, No. 262”
Headless Elvis – Snapshot of the Day, No. 261
The question is: Was this Elvis statue purchased without a head?…. or did it get broken after it was bought? And why is it still being proudly displayed? Does it make it more valuable without the head? Hmmmm. I HAD to take this photo. I cannot stop laughing at the microphone held up to aContinue reading “Headless Elvis – Snapshot of the Day, No. 261”
