Billbirds

Yet another shot from my Saturday morning walk.  I love the texture of this billboard – it had a fresh banner on it a few days prior but the nasty windstorm we had tore it right off.  You can still see some of the strings hanging down on the bottom right side attached to the […]

Train Tracks at Dawn

I got up this morning and took my camera out for a walk around 6:30 am.  This was taken on the train tracks that run parallel to Grand Avenue around 111th.  I am very pleased with the exposure on this one; the value is very well balanced without the shadows or highlights being too harsh. […]

Untitled

Not much to say today, just sharing a photograph I took in the desert this weekend.  Went out to get some target practice in with my rifles and did some shooting with the camera too.  I’ve decided to work exclusively in black and white for awhile.

High Strung

This photograph is another from my trip to the Musical Instrument Museum a few weeks ago. This image is (title and all) quite appropriate.  I am currently half-way through a three week teacher induction program for the Glendale Union High School District and I’m feeling the stress of the first day of school approaching.  Don’t get me wrong; […]

Brass

Here’s another shot I took while browsing the MIM

Accordéon

Not much to say today other than I’ve missed posting here lately.  Starting my new career and trying to finish up school simultaneously is a lot of hard but necessary work.  Took this shot on Wednesday.
