Another snow picture from the BliZZard of 2010

03.06.10 Primitive Baptist, Gay

Wow, it has been a long time since my last post. Hope to get back in the saddle again. It isn't like I haven't been taking any pictures! These are from them bliZZard a few weeks ago.

11.23.09 Birds

11.10.09 Massengale's Mill Reflections

This awesome Mill is located here in Gay. It is one of my favorite places to photograph, I have yet to paint there. It is surrounded by water with only a road going through. I would have to paint it in the van on the road. Beautiful location especially in the fall.

11.09.09 The Truck that Peterbuilt

My computer crashed on Sunday, so I have officially lost all the photos from this blog. Sad, but that happens when you only back up once a week. Lesson learned. Coming back from AIS I passed this truck, which I have passed many times. It is great, it faces the road and just begs to be photographed. I got out of the car and noticed the guy had a sign on his gate that said, "Day Sleeper, No Solicitation." Love it.

11.08.09 Sink Shadows

Caught this one this morning. We have a great old sink, but it would probably photograph a bit better with some cleaning and moving things aground, but that just isn't my style.

11.03.09 Full Moon Field

This morning, with coffee and briefcase in hand, I grabbed the point and shoot out of my jacket pocket and got this little gem of the full moon setting over the field in the front yard.

The sun was out and we were given an extra hour. Julie and I usually go to Pine Mountain and eat breakfast at the Calloway Country store and explore that area, great trees this time of year. This year we explored Pine Mountain Valley and the surrounding area and I came home with over 200 photos for reference. What an incredible area. This shot was my favorite, a small International Harvester that reminded me of WALL-E. Perfect for a painting, except for the fact that it was white.

10.30.09 Lights and Figure

I took this shot as Jules and I were walking into the woods and away from The Great Pumpkin for some photos. I love these jumpy, walking, slow exposure shots

10.28.09 Big Oak Sunrise

After the shoot in rain last night, there was still some lingering fog burning of in the morning, which is much better than the evening! You have the sun coming in and it really makes things dramatic. The beauty of this image is it really buts you in a calm space, but when I took it, I was standing 3 feet of Hwy 29 at 8:00am in between The Heritage School and a new hospice care center, anything but calming!
