“The Catch” Before I had a real interest in being a photographer, I loved silhouettes. And when I started learning the technical side of photography, I wanted to be able to take those photos that I had always admired so much. It has taken me some time to get here, but I think I am finally on the right track. I have no idea who the little boy is in the above image, but I loved seeing him standing on…
“Pizza Not At Home” They say , “Home is where the heart is.” My heart is with this guy. He is mobile. That makes him a mobile home, right? Okay, I came up empty handed regarding today’s prompt. We went out for pizza tonight and this is as good as today’s photos got. Let’s just say that the pizza was a whole lot better than any of the pictures that I took today.
‘Father’s Day 2014″ I warned dad that he had the honor of being the subject of today’s POTD. His response, “When did you decide to make it your mission in life to embarrass me?” My response, “Um…December 28, 1961.” I ended up taking paparazzi shots so none of them are very good technically or compositionally; however, this is perfect in the more important ways. Dad is sitting in his chair doing the day’s puzzles from the newspaper like he…
Sitting on the beach watching the sun set is a object lesson in just how quickly things on his earth can change. In only fifteen minutes, the sky went from brightly lit to almost completely dark. I watched as the the bright ball dropped from the sky disappearing below the horizon. I realize that this phenomenon happens every day, but it is not every day that I make the time to just sit an appreciate how my days are made….
“I Have It!” I am happy to say that in my wanderings today I came across no litter or trash that was out of place. I had to get creative. My family makes fun of me all the time because I am forever “losing” my lens cap. I have never permanently lost one, but I have had to retrace my steps to reclaim one (including two nights ago when I took my “grass” picture on the beach). This happens most…
“The lightship Overfalls” This image doesn’t represent dangerous, but somewhat the opposite. Lightships, no longer operational, were once used as floating lighthouses warning sailors of dangers on the water. This one has been restored as a historical and now is open for public tours My dad was integral in securing grants to support its restoration as well as having the Overfalls recognized as a National Historic Landmark.

“Beach Grass” Despite the fact that I got very little sleep Wednesday night because at midnight I was still packing and we had to be at the airport at 4am on Thursday morning, we had a smooth trip and thus far I have not noticed anything that I forgot. All of that is pretty much a miracle. It was overcast and misting when we got to Delaware. In my weird little mind, it was perfect. There is such a calmness…
“Near the Park” It is true confession time. I am addicted to photography. We have to be at the airport tomorrow morning at 4am for a 5:15 flight. I am almost finished packing. I just had to get my picture posted and then I’ll finish up. Weber graciously took me to the park tonight because, other than the water in the kitchen sink, there was not much water to be near at home. It was a beautiful evening to be…
“Birthday Boy” Today was Weber’s birthday. I’d like to say that it was an exciting day of celebration, but that would be a lie. We ran some errands this morning – Walgreens for prescriptions, Sams for cases of green beans for the dog and Target for something that I can’t even remember. Then it was a quiet afternoon at home. Weber spent some time reading his “birthday book.” I looked back at his birthday photo from last year in which…
“Bloom” There are lots of places that I enjoy being. Really though, who I am with is much more important to me than where I am. If the company is good, I can overlook some pretty dismal surroundings. Proof of this is the nearly a year that we spent in the house with no kitchen while we were remodeling. All those microwave meals were perfectly fine with me because I shared them with the love of my life. It…
