Busy Busy
Taken on the same, last-best-day-ever-walk as the others this week. I wonder where they went now that it's 30° colder and snow is not really melting.
Scary Branches
They aren't that scary. But Happy Halloween all the same! Eat candy! Barf! It should be noted that the two dogs at our house sat patiently for me while I took this shot yesterday. It was well into the 70s here. That would be lower to mid 20s for you Celsius lovers out...
Old City Pigeons
Wanted to get the lovely bricks as well as the boids. You guessed it: Old City, Knoxville, TN, baby.
In the Long Run
I almost called it "Sad, Lonely Wall." Then I changed my mind.
Bracket Macro
Same bracket from yesterday. So, same location. Sherlock. Sorry. It's just the pain of the approaching winter talking.
Bracket
Seemed kind of lonely amidst all that great texture. Another Old City, Knoxville, TN shot, bitches.
Broken Light
Taken in Old City, Knoxville, Tennessee.
Jesus Cares
About what, I can't be certain. Who can? (Note: if you are christian, I appreciate it and all, but yeah. This isn't a call to action. I'm sure you'll be tempted. Don't listen. That's just satan talking.)
Bricks (detail)
A detail shot from the same building as yesterday's shot. The bricks had a weird orange that set my orange saturation slider twitching upward.
Fraternal Order
Love this abstracted eagle shape. And how about that brickwork? Yep. Knoxville, TN.
Pipe
Another Old City, Knoxville texture. While some might think it cliché to obsess about the texture of things, in my case, it's just being able to document things I've been overlooking for most of my life. Living in the younger part of a country, one misses the texture...
Patrick Sullivan’s Saloon
Taken in Old City, Knoxville, Tennesse. This building seems less southern than western. Sure, at one point, Knoxville was the west. But this style building is something I'd expect to see in Wyoming or Nevada. I could probably do some work on this to make it look...
Woodsy
I know, it probably should be called "Woody", but that conjurs up too many different pop culture references. Woodsy only brings up that anti-pollution owl from the 70s. What do you think conservative radio would do with Woodsy today? No matter. This door looked like...
Cigar Neon
Taken in the part of Knoxville called Old City. I could shoot this part of town for hours at a time and come back day after day. At this point in the trip, it was my final day in Knoxville and I had neglected to charge the camera battery the night before, so I was not...
Curvatures
Really love the curved brick with curved monolithic concrete architecture behind it. Taken on the UTK campus. I'll be posting Tennessee shots for the next while. I'm really happy with these and this proves that the Canon G9 can perform for conditions that I like....
Fence
I really wished I had the 5D here. I probably would have gotten a bit more compelling shot and something a little more dynamic. Still, I'm pretty pleased with this one and love the dead leaves surrounded by all the living ones. This photo is for sale on Etsy.
Arboretum Canopy
I love the layers of leaves and dark trunks poking through. I bet in about 6-8 weeks, these trees are stunning with autumnal colors. The density of the growth here is something I don't see enough of in my normal, computer nerd life. I need to get out more. This image...
Bark
Not bad depth of field and bokeh from the G9. Not bad at all. This was the tree where I saw a moth right after I got this shot. I resituated the camera and started to get all framey when it flew right by me. I don't like moths, no matter how pretty they might be....
