Weeds aren’t the prettiest flowers, but they must taste just as good. This guy’s wings have seen better days, but he still posed nicely for a few shots. I really liked how the background came out in this – with the blurring and the color patterns. This is a good example of a shot that […]

Fall Sunset
I passed over this photo several times without editing it, because when I took it I didn’t use the best settings, and it was a lot darker. In photoshop I cranked up the shadow areas and also brought down the highlights in the sky, and got a result I was pretty happy with. I like […]
Pythagoras River
This makes me think of every painting at a cheap motel I’ve ever seen. 🙂 As a photo, I’m not a huge fan of it, but I’ve always kind of liked that motel art, so kind of ended up liking this as a result. It didn’t help that the ISO was higher than I’d like […]
Beeutiful
Sometimes you don’t find photos where you go, but only on the way there or back. In this case, I’d visited Walbridge Park in Toledo and didn’t really find anything I got excited about. On the way back though, I saw a bunch of flowers planted in a roundabout, so I stopped to stick my […]
Spock Flower
I rarely get a photo of a flower or flowers that I’m thrilled with… I’m pretty convinced that 80% of why I take them is some genetic passed-down thing from my dad who was always taking pictures of flowers and plants on trips. In any case, this one reminded me of the flowers that sprayed […]
Reaching Out
I really like trees. They fascinate me aesthetically and philosophically. It’s actually not always easy to get a shot of them I’m really happy with, though. It’s too easy to end up with pictures that look like so many other pictures. This particular angle isn’t anything new, but I liked the layout of the branches […]
Scrapped
After driving past a fenced in collection of piles like this for over a year, I finally stopped with a camera to grab a few shots. I would really love to see if I can get permission to shoot from inside the fence, though pretty often people are worried about liability with that. So this […]

Dandy Sunset
On the way home from shooting along the Maumee river, I wanted to try to stop and catch the sun setting on the other side of a field of dandelions. It’s amazing how fast the sun moves when you’re trying to catch it. Fortunately, the cop who was parked just down the road didn’t take […]
Dandelion Rainbow
Not sure what it is, but I love taking shots of dandelions with the sun or clouds behind it, from as low an angle as I can get. In this case, on a trip to the side of the Maumee river, I ended up with several shots of a similar setting, and I couldn’t make […]
