Philadelphia Spring of 09'

These are old pictures so they don't really fit the post a new image a week theme... I took these pictures walking around on a travel day in Philadelphia last spring. I was in town for the Braves Phillies game opening week.

Dead Trees

I can't explain why I like to shoot Dead Trees but I seem to take a lot of pictures of them. All three of these shots were taken in Knoxville. I will try to fix some things on this first one and post it again later.

Liz and Grace Anne

Liz stopped by today with her new baby Grace Anne. Liz use to babysit the boys when we first moved to Knoxville.

Denver Feb 10, 2010

These Pictures are really posted in reverse... The first two images are the last I took on this trip. On my way to the Airport I pulled off the road and snapped two quick pictures... as soon as I pulled over a police officer stopped to see what I was doing... Umm no relevance of that to these pictures However there were a bunch of prairie dogs running around while i was out of the car. The police officer told me not to worry about them so I didn't. I also didn't take any pictures of them.

The Cherry Cricket is near the hotel in Denver... Its where we all go to drink beer.

The rest of the pictures were taken at the Red Rocks Amphitheater near Denver. I like the lines from the seats that draw your eyes to the red rocks. The picture is a rectangle and there is a smaller rectangle inside made by the blue sky. Probably a little under exposed but I don't care. The person at the top with the red coat really pops.

My good friend Greg Briggs.

Downtown LA

This is not a great picture... but it is a great place to get a cheap breakfast in downtown LA.




Here are three images of the Disney Theatre in LA. Its just down the street from the hotel... I can't decide which one I like the best.

Central Park

Street Musician

This picture was taken in Central Park, November of 09. I was in town for the NYC Marathon and Killing a day in the park. I love the Black and White shot but I think the two pictures really go together.
Santa Monica... I kept trying to get a great shot of this guy and I couldn't do it. I circled him twice and still couldn't get it right. Finally he stopped and said "Hey Man... take my picture." This is it.

Boston 09: I had just finished a nine mile run down by the river when I walked past this guy... I went back to the room got my camera and he was still playing.

I will probably be the only person in the world to ever like this shot because you had to hear him play to understand the contrast. He was clearly not happy that I was taking his picture, I think you can see the anger in his face but at the same time he was playing beautifully...

Candid

My Cat Chloe... She never means to pose for me but she is blind in one eye so she never really knows to run away.

Brenda never wants me to take her picture.

This picture was staged... Its the only one in this post that was. I still like it.

This is my Cat Sadie... My number one model. She will always pose for me.

The other two people in my life that will always pose are my Nephews Anthony (Top) and Joey (Peanut Butter on his Face).

Downtown Knoxville

William and I went out before dinner to take a few pictures. This is what we found.

Detroit: HockeyTown

Detroit

Two of these images were taken from my hotel room... No it was a really nice hotel... really. Detroit is one of the most depressing places that I have ever visited.

On my way to ACC Women's Basketball

Destination Winston Salem: Pulled off the Interstate near Wytheville, VA.

I was taking pictures of a run down motel when a woman noticed me taking pictures. She approached me and asked me to check out the view from her back yard. This was it... I like the subtleness of the ice covered trees... but I really like the fact that a stranger approached me and pointed out something beautiful in her world.
