The day’s conclusion. I wrote about “Ray’s Blue” yesterday. Of course, I twisted the color around so much that you barely got to see it. Not this time. The sun was low in the sky. Darkness was almost upon me. I made a few quick pictures, unsure if I had an image. I didn’t have […]
Blue
Color of the Blues
Blue seems about right. It’s quiet. It’s comforting. It brings peace. Just as I sat down to write I learned that Little Richard passed. One more death in a season of deaths. Last night I learned that a guy I knew in New Orleans passed. Another death in a season of death. It’s enough to […]
Sometimes in Winter
A little more magic. That’s what I saw when I was developing this picture. I didn’t quite know what I had when I pressed the button. But, after… wow! In many ways, This image reverts back to a style I used in the late 1990’s. Tilted. Skewed. A little motion. And, very bold colors. I […]
Going Too Far
Did I? Or, didn’t I? Go too far. This image started out as one of my night time blue sky pictures. I thought the foreground subject matter was a little boring, so I set out to change that. After adding and subtracting for a little while, I almost gave up. Then. I started piling up […]
All The Blues
Oh, so blue. That’s what I saw on an early evening walk. I was mostly looking at the bare trees when the moon came into view. “Oh, man,” I thought. I stopped, braced myself, and made four exposures. This, obviously, is one of them. This color, or one just slightly lighter, used to be called […]
The Blues
It’s a blue sort of day. The weather is frightful. It’s raining outside. Jazz music is playing inside. They say that we are going to get wet. Very wet today. Rain all day. Into the night. The late night. Some plans went out the window. I gave some serious thought to photographing one of two […]
Wintertime Winds Blue and Freezing
So cold. The air is cold. The wind is cold. The trees are bare. It’s winter. Even in New Orleans. It doesn’t last like it does in the north. But, it does get cold. Combine cold air with ambient humidity and we feel it. Last night, the weather guy said the weather wasn’t quite as […]
Pictures Like Winter
Winter seems to have arrived a few days early. Everywhere. That gives me a chance to make some of my favorite kinds of pictures. Bare trees. Faded blue skies. And, a feeling of cold. That’s one of the tricks they teach you early in photography and in commercial press printing. If you want your snow […]
Anywhere Is
Drifting. I made this picture on the edge of dusk. The dark edge. There was almost no luck involved. But, there was a little skill. I know how and where to brace myself when I try to make a picture like this one. I probably should use a tripod more because that’s the way to […]
