Wading

A year ago, things were normal. I didn’t know it; I just thought things were…things. And I was traveling for work. And people were playing in the water. And I was making photos.

You know, normal.

Typical Situation

Sometimes you just have to do it – the cliched shot is right there, waiting on you to make it. This was, of course, one of those times.

(PS – I used DxO’s Perspective Efex plug-in to get those verticals all lined up – it worked great and you should try it, if you’ve got verticals that aren’t, you know, vertical.)

this looks like a sad story

I’ve tried since June 25, 2018, to develop a scenario where a dozen red roses in the trash at a subway station could have been from a happy event. But no matter how I look at it, I can only see a sad story.

Shopping Cart

It all came together – a recent rain, a clearing sky, dark trees, white building. And a shopping cart, like a little bit of dessert.

The Ark

Just look at that rain! It seemed like it was going to last for days – as many as forty, maybe. And the name of that store is The Arc of St. Martin. See how it almost came together in an hysterical joke?
