This is pre D700 🙂 The weather is starting to warm up so I took the opportunity this past weekend to move around some. I found this dilapidated structure near to some old train tracks. Definitely a location that I will be revisiting – looks like a nice spot for some interesting ‘story shots’. TIA for your comments.

DP97: Left behind
Posted in Still Life, Urban Images, tagged cup, Red, wood on September 29, 2010| 8 Comments »
Found this on a walk through the parking garage at work. You can find some interesting stuff when you look around. Like I mentioned before, I’m looking for stories in my images. This one, I can’t help but think how easily we discard stuff, or even people, who served our purpose for a time. The  guy who left this cup behind was probably very grateful for it while he was drinking his coffee or tea, but when it was done, it was on to other things. Unfortunately we sometimes treat people like this, but you never know, maybe someone will come along who needs a cup….not likely, but who knows. TIA for your comments.
DP95: Locked out or locked in?
Posted in Still Life, Urban Images, tagged gate, lock, rust on September 26, 2010| 9 Comments »
This is my second locked gate image. This one I like because I am trying to actively create stories with my images rather than just take a picture and have it end there. I want to be able to spark discussion with my images. Hopefully I am making some progress in that direction. TIA for your comments.
DP92: A notice board by any other name
Posted in Still Life, Urban Images, tagged notice board on September 21, 2010| 4 Comments »
Found this “notice board” in DC , near to the GW University campus. I never saw one like it and felt it was a novel idea. It was certainly efficient in terms of use of space. I think the processing makes it look like some sort of  weird alien contraption. Kinda reminds me of the Tardis……for  those of you who know what that is ……..:) TIA for your comments.
DP91: Staircase to……

This was taken in Baltimore outside of Mercy Hospital. I say that because I need to give some context to the mood of the image……lonely, thoughtful? Hospitals could evoke emotions that run the gamut. TIA for your comments.
DP88: Piano man

Took this picture at a street fair in Baltimore. It is a bit over-processed, but I was trying to make sure that the graffiti on the wall showed up. TIA for your comments.
DP87: Reading & waiting
Posted in People, Urban Images, tagged old lady, reading, waiting on September 15, 2010| 6 Comments »
I am catching up on some older images I never uploaded since I started this project. I am taking the opportunity to learn more about enhancing my images with software. I like how comfortable she is…not in a hurry. She’s waiting for bus and using that time to catch up on her reading. Must have been a good book. TIA for your comments.
DP82: Back on track
Posted in Landscape, Uncategorized, Urban Images, tagged tracks, train on September 8, 2010| 2 Comments »
This picture is actually from a couple of days ago. I was thinking about the little speed bump I ran across last week. Tonight I went to church and the preacher talked about how easy it is to get off track. What he reminded us of though is that no matter how far off track we get, we are never beyond redemption. TIA for your comments.
DP80: What a wreck

I see this wrecker everyday on my way to work. I finally took a camera to it…..:) This is my continuing attempts at doing a halfway decent HDR. TIA for your comments.

I’ve never actually seen one of these before. I wonder of it still works. TIA for your comments.
