Alleyway Artwork

I was walking around downtown Abilene this afternoon waiting for my meeting to begin.  There's an alleyway that's been recently painted with beautifully colored graphic designs.  

I made a few images, so I post this one today.

Almost Black and White

There's a ballet school in town and this artwork is on the outside of the building.  It's a beautiful graphic with just a touch of red in the hair.

My heart is grateful for: 

the very peaceful day I had today

Envy Nightclub sign and black car.

I just thought this made a cute image.  The black sign "Envy" and the black car parked almost perfectly beneath it.

My heart is grateful for the photo job I had today

Fence at the Lake

A day or two before the snow storm I was at the lake and saw this fence, the shadow and the lake.  Not a world class photo, but I like the sparkles of the lake water and the way the fence creates the shadow.

My heart is grateful that:

in spite of the crazy long flight delay, things were ok and I'm finally home

A Graphic Look

Seen at the end of a tunnel underneath the train tracks in downtown Abilene, Texas.  Not sure what the pipes are for but I love the graphic look it gives in the image.

My heart is grateful for:

pizza for dinner tonight

Staircase and shadows

During my walk downtown, I passed through an alley I don't usually go through and I saw this.  It would have been good enough even without the window under the staircase, but that just added icing to the cake in my opinion.

I love all the angles created by the staircase, shadows, the window and the bright and dark areas. 

My heart is grateful for:

the cooler weather we had today

A Day in Haleiwa

8/365

My friend and I spent the day in Haleiwa.  I wasn't too excited about it when she suggested it, but I agreed because I haven't been out shooting much lately and I needed the diversion.  Once we got there, I decided to put some effort into it.

It was hot and I'm not a big fan of hot-weather photography.  But unlike hot weather in the northeast, there are always chances to cool off by getting into the shade or when the trade winds blow, so it was fairly tolerable for me today.

I'm pretty happy with some of the images I brought home.  

So I give thanks to my friend, Jackie, for giving me the impetus to get out there, for the stimulating conversations we had and for the great ideas for some creative uses for my images.
