A place to collect and share all of the interesting things I doPhotographer
OK, so I’m not a “professional photographer.” But ever since cameras got small enough that I could carry one with me everywhere, I’ve been taking photos of interesting stuff. Sometimes it’s just about textures: tree bark, moss, leaves on a sidewalk, bricks, stone, the infinite variety of plants. Sometimes it’s flowers: my garden in its wildness, blooming trees, other people’s tulips. Sometimes it’s scenery: sunsets, vistas of mountains, bridges and the water underneath them, city buildings. And on rare occasions, it’s people, caught in the act of dancing or playing music or singing. Sometimes I process photos with various digital tools to create something entirely different. Sometimes what I capture through the lens (mostly my iPhone 4S, nothing more) is more than enough. Hopefully you’ll enjoy them too.

Pittsburgh at Sunset
I was up on Mount Washington last week, delivering a meal to a friend who just had surgery. It was in the low teens, but brilliantly sunny, and i couldn't resist stopping to snap a few photos....well, actually more than 80 photos 🙂 This one was processed with...
At The Bedside
Three members of the Pittsburgh Threshold Choir were singing at a bedside when I caught a photo of them from the doorway. On its own it wasn't very good -- the angle was terrible and the lighting was poor. But with a little cropping, some Snapseed highlighting and a...
Allemande Right
Someone caught a photo of me dancing, I Ithink at last year's Fall Dance Weekend. I liked the photo, but I love the Waterlogue watercolor.
