Sometimes It Just Is

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

I took this off the end of E. Jefferson St., looking east. I had thought about posting it for yesterday’s theme day, but went with something else instead. So today we have trees. In a field. In black and white. And a description with sentence fragments. Exciting.

Vague Indications

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

I took this on Stayton-Scio Rd., facing west into the sun. It ended up over exposed in the light spots and too dark in the darker spots (which I expected), so I jacked up the contrast in Lightroom and converted it to black and white to try to give it a mood. Yay.

Ride Of Last Resort

Monday, January 18th, 2010

From the random file comes this photo of a hearse parked outside of Weddle Funeral Home on 3rd Ave. Because it was there. A hearse is an interesting looking vehicle… very distinctive. Practical yet somehow stylish. Still, I’d prefer not to ride in one until much, much later.

Parking Lot Noir

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

I took this a few nights ago in the parking lot of Santiam Hospital on 10th Ave. It was pretty foggy that night, and gave the scene kind of an old film noir effect.

‘Zat You, Santa Claus?

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Yesterday morning was the 19th Annual Santa Cruise at the Stayton Fire Department, a car show and breakfast benefiting Toys For Joy. I took several photos of cars and such, but haven’t gone through them yet. So instead I decided to post a celebrity — Santa Claus. It doesn’t get much bigger than that. He [...]

Step Up

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

I took this photo for the City Daily Photo doorway theme day at the beginning of the month, but ended up using a different one instead. So I’m posting it now.
This is the stone stairway at the Holm Building on 2nd Ave. I posted a photo of the whole building back in 2006, but had [...]

Hands

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Guest Photographer Hugo sent in today’s stunning image, taken at Cascades Gateway Park in nearby Salem. His description:
This is a picture of a homeless man in the park with well-worn hands.
His hands seemed to tell of a life of hardship, yet he still had his faith in those same hands.
I liked the lighting and used [...]

Ladies In Waiting

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

I went by Pioneer Park to see if any of the leaves had started to change colors yet (not so far) and saw these two ladies waiting for a photographer to finish setting up is gear so they could have their portraits taken. I know the quality of the image isn’t great… I took this [...]

ITS MYN

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

I spotted this awesome vanity license plate the other day, and it made me giggle. Somebody’s rather proud of their car, I’d say.

Fog On The Farm

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Guest photographer Debbie D. Dodd send it today’s photo of a foggy sunrise taken on her farm four miles south of Stayton. Very pretty. Thanks, Debbie!

I Found My Home

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Today’s photo is another rose from next to the parking lot at the Community Center. It has a little bug of some sort on it. It’s a bug on a flower. Woot.
On another note, the Oregon State Fair starts tomorrow. If anyone out there will be attending and wants to take a picture or two [...]

Twuck

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

This truck — not sure if it’s a dump truck or some other type — was going down the road a few days ago, so I took a picture. I can’t remember what road it was, not that it matters. It’s a truck, on a road. The end.

Into Infinity

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

I’ve posted photos of the mail boxes at the Post Office before, but I like them, so I’m doing it again. Ah, the freedom of being able to post whatever I want.

Barn On The Farm

Friday, August 7th, 2009

New guest photographer Michele Dupraw sent in today’s rather cool photo of a barn on Kingston-Lyons Dr., which not too far out of town, to the southeast in the Kingston area. I think. If not, then Google Maps lies.
Be sure to see more of Michele’s photos on her blog, The Northwest Nature Nut. [...]

Oil Can Henry’s Car

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

This nifty old car (unless it’s a kit car — I would have no idea) was sitting outside the Oil Can Henry’s on Shaff Rd. yesterday. So I took a picture. It’s what I do.
In other news, I am way behind on my email, so if anyone has emailed me recently, and I [...]
