"Red in the Morn ...

... sailors take warn" Isn't that the old phrase? I suppose it still holds true; later this particular afternoon it rained and rained and rained. But for the moment ... what a fire in the sky!

Some mornings the conditions make photography a worthwhile little use of time. This was one of those times.

Always question your daily content ...

Spooky isn't a word I would usually associate with going for a late afternoon walk on a sunny day. Of course, I wasn't thinking I was going to stumble down a cat -infested, gang sign-ridden street of doom.
Luckily, this house was there (lurking) to help me show off the utter creepiness of the area. I would easily live in a place like this ... does that make me odd?

Personal Effects

While I was out on a stroll with my good friend 'camera', I stumbled onto Hillary Clinton's short visit to Terre Haute. Now, I didn't stick around long enough to see Hillary herself ... but I did get some interesting shots.Alongside two older women carrying war protest signs was a man supporting this doozy of a thought. I'm not going to get into the political statement here ... I'll let you just have it out in my comments instead.

People have become my new obsession. I love photographing them. Expressions and candid moments are, to say the least, "teh shit". With the beautiful sunlight which abounded this morning, I couldn't resist some lovely shots of the people at the support Hillary event.

Baby. That's all I've got.

And God said ...

Once there was color, and it was good. For awhile the color left, because the world was sad. Today the world was happy, and thus the color returned.

I love color photography. I used to have a guilty fear that this made me a bad art student ... since all 'artistic' photos seemed to be in black and white. Then, I took a step back to realize that most students only use black and white because it's easier to develop or they don't understand the way color transfers from photographs to print. Now I feel better.

The depth of concrete.

Funny how concrete can seem so expansive when you get very close. Also funny how no one said a thing while I nonchalantly photographed every person leaving the Kroger between the time of 4:30 and 5:20 pm.


I'm thinking up a way to use concrete as a metaphor for the world ... the right design will come along soon.

The only 'sun' around today ...

An old friend has come and gone in her visit. It's fitting that as soon as she left the weather turned, leaving only her forgotten flowers to cheer.


Soon it will be light enough for color ...

Stilled Explorations

Stilled Explorations:
A rainy day spawns stories of what might have been. What sorts of journeys might have
been taken if only the sun had been a steady companion? What could this trusty bike
have revealed about the world? What distances and places could have been visited?
